YOGA

Last night I decided to give yoga a try for the first time. I was impressed!!

I was actually searching for a Pilates app for my phone. I did Pilates after my second child was born. I had a c-section and was very concerned with my core strength. Pilates was amazing for me then. It definitely taught me how to control my balance, tighten my core and improve my posture. I did it daily and saw great results. 

I didn't find any great Pilates apps. So I suppose if I want to go that route again I will have to break out the old fashion dvd and follow along that way, lol. 

But I did keep coming across reviews for an app called Pocket Yoga. I don't usually pay for things like that but all the reviews I read said that it was well worth the $2.99. So I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did.

Last night was my first night so I started on a beginners level. I felt the strength training but I also felt the stress-free calming aspect of it. I did it before bed and I think it definitely made me sleep better!

I think I am going to try to do this every night before bed (30 minutes) and then wake up more relaxed and do all my strength exercises first thing in the morning. 

Find the app HERE. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Weight Loss Suppliments

So here's my dilemma ... I really want to lose just a little bit more weight. Not a lot. I'm talking like less than 10 pounds. But I am having a terrible time doing it . I know the best answer is diet and exercise.  Definitely 100% agree !!! My problem is that when it comes to dieting I have plateaued. :( I lost a bunch of weight when I first changed my diet. I am now so much more knowledgeable about calories and fats and sweets. I have been really good at controlling what I put in my body. So now eating healthy is my new "norm" - yay! unfortunately that's not dropping the pounds any more. So what do I do? I already am only eating 1200 calories a day so I obviously don't want to go below that. Exercise is great. It really is . I love it! I just don't have time for it. I have tons of work-out plans, seriously I have a binder full of exercises  BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME . I have 3 kids to take care of ...
