Keep! Keep! Keep it UP!!!

That's right! Last night I did my normal boot camp class and decided to stay for yoga. I have never done yoga before. It was definitely a different type of workout experience for me. I had no idea you take your shoes off, ha! If you could of seen me, I am sure it would have been quite the show. Yoga is not a piece of cake. I hope to improve on breathing correctly during bootcamp and yoga. Breathing is so important I have learned. Whitney told us yesterday she lost 2 inches around her waist quickly from doing yoga. Check out the picture below. This is very similar to one of the positions (a lot harder than it looks) . Except we were not allowed to let our right hip touch the floor . Luckily, Whitney grabbed me a rope for me to tie to my foot so I could use the strap to pull my rear leg closer to my back.




This morning I could tell that I was exhausted from the night before workouts. When I work out at night it is so hard for me to go to sleep. Any suggestions and I never want to eat when I get finished working out. I know I need to.

Last night I prepared my smoothie in the blender except the milk. I did peaches, 1 TBS of peanut butter, and vanilla protein with almond milk. It was pretty tasty. I was only able to drink 1/2 of it prior to my workout. This morning I could tell I did not have as much energy. I am trying to determine if I have more energy working out in the morning or at night. I still do not know. I actually have not dreaded working out at night like I thought I would.

This morning I had a really bad feeling we were going to do stairs when Whitney gave us our route. O yes she said go to Porter House and take a left. Well that means we are headed to the parking garage with the STAIRS. We did stairs, stairs, and more stairs! I seriously didn't think I was going to make it. It is like a sauna in the stairwell which makes it even more difficult! Needless to say, I made it! I am definitely sore. NO PAYNE NO GAIN! Right!

On a side note, I was shaving last night and my legs do not even look like mine. I just noticed it last night. My knee is so much more defined! O and last night Whitney told us where she measured me because I was a little unsure and I remeasured when I got home. And the tape measure is correct. I have lost 8 inches around my waist line. I just still cannot believe the tape measure!!! It is such a good feeling!!!

With the holiday weekend here! I hope to get in some cardio. I will not be back at boot camp until Tuesday! I guess it is a good thing I worked out 3 times between last night and this morning. :)

Happy 4th everyone!
