Last night was a little strange since we were waiting for our maintenance personnel to come by once again for an appointment. Unfortunately, for the sixth time in four months, they have not shown. Very irritating! We didn't let it bother us too much though. We decided since we were waiting for them, we were going to do our yoga workout and work our muscles. We chose to do the workout on our second floor so that it was slightly warmer and a little less visible if they were to come. Unfortunately we found out that it was a little too warm, hence, we were sweating it out after just thirty minutes! Yikes! It was a good workout though and our muscles were really feeling it. We completed the entire yoga/pilates fusion workout as planned.

Blisters mean moisture. Get yourself some sweat wicking socks girlie. So worth it. I buy mine cheap at DSW, Marshalls, etc. ~Ang Report Inappropriate Comment |

Still can't believe winter is just around the corner, shocking! It has been a long year of exercise, dieting, finding myself and working through many different issues. I feel as though this last month, I have found my mojo again and am working my life back into play. My husband and I are working out about four-five times a week with a 10 mile training program and enjoying every moment of it. (okay, so there were some complaints during the last long run on the last mile...)
Normally the first of the month would be measuring myself and inputting all the changes my body has gone through. Unfortunately, today I do not feel up to the measurements and feeling of neglect to my body for my mishaps. So, I have decided I will do it another day when I have more positive energy to do so. (Probably on the weekend after our long run I will have more motivation to see what my body is going...) I've learned through the last few months that if I'm not positive, I should weight myself or check my measurements, it's just a downward spiral.
September Goals:
We are currently on week two of our ten week training program to learn to endure and increase our 10 mile run. Each day we are following the program and trying to not let stress or other factors get in the way of our plan. We plan on running and have fun while doing so!
Yoga is starting to crept back into our lives. I'm not sure why we stopped practicing for a while, since we love it, but we are thankful it is back in our lives. We are doing yoga at least two times a week. I hope to start making this two turn into at least a three this month. Today I did a morning yoga that I loved and hope to continue it everyday when I have the extra time in the morning hours.
Lifting weights has not been a large part of our workouts this last month. We are rather lazy when it comes to going to our small gym. Rather, I hope to find a nice set of weights to put in our house so that we can use it more often. We love lifting weights so if we could do it at home, we would do it more diligently. This month I hope to find a set and start lifting more often.
Continue walking with the pooch a few times a week to the park for picnics. Good workout for all three of us. In addition, I hope that we will continue to walk with the Lord on our journal through life and keep focused.
Food is an important part of our daily life - Vegan life! We love eating vegan and have a hard time thinking back to our days without healthy foods. We are continuing to try out new recipes and I make at least a few new recipes of my own each week. We plan on staying vegan this month. In addition, I plan on continuing to eat around 1200-1300 calories a day. On long run days though, I plan on getting around 1600 calories to fuel my body. No matter what though, I hope to continue to listen to my body and eat when it says it needs fuel.
Emotional Eating is getting better for me and I hope to continue to work through my issues with it this month. I have been keeping the kitchen free from unhealthy snacks and can't even remember when I ate soy cream (alternative to ice cream). Yay!
Enjoy life! Eating healthy and exercising gives me more energy and I intend on continuing down the path of enjoying everything that comes my way.

Wow I can't believe how behind I am on your blogs. Anyway, great goals girlie! I hope you are doing well this month! ~Ang PS. They have weights at 5 Below near my house. $5 for the 5lbs, $4 for 4 lbs, etc. Report Inappropriate Comment |
Food was disrupted yesterday also which I'm not thrilled about since it was all my fault. Then this morning we decided to go to Krispy Kreme which we really have banned from our lives for the last few months. Normally when we go there I am able to manage to just get a coffee and be happy. This morning though, I fell into the sugar induced pull of Apple Harvest Donuts. Thankfully when I tasted them (yes, sadly, I ate two!), they were not as tasty as normal apple cider donuts. I did notice though that the specialty donuts are much smaller than the normal donuts. Actually, we were looking and the special harvest donuts were the same size as the mini's. haha Wonder if they have less calories? Guess I'll have to check that out since one donut is around 300 calories! Yikes! That's a lot, especially since I try to eat only around 1200 calories a day! 
Plus note: I believe I lost a pound! Yay!!!
