Yesterday I started at my local Bikram Yoga studio. I was prepared to sweat, but I had no idea what Bikram would actually be like. Whoa! It was very difficult, but I felt amazing afterwards. It relieved so much stress and all of my muscles felt warm and strong - exactly the feeling you want after a hard workout. Here in Oregon there's not much opportunity to sweat, so it also did wonders for my skin. I can't wait to go back tomorrow!
I've also been tracking my calorie and water intake. Lately I've been bad about drinking water, so it's really important to track it so I know how much to drink and it forces me to drink more!
As for the calories, I have a limit each day and have been very good about staying within that range. I've been eating a lot of soups lately, which are filling, but low in calories. I've also been eating more fiber and taking probiotics and a great pre-natal vitamin. {Prenatals are great for ALL women, not just pregnant women}
I think I'm making good progress towards a healthier, happier life! How are your New Year's resolutions coming along?
