Yoga, carbs and sweets. yikes.

Yoga.
I went to my first yoga class at the Y on saturday and let's just say it was amazing. Maybe its the gymnast in me but I LOVE making my body go in those crazy positions that I never thought it could go in. My body needed to stretch SO bad! My legs were so tight its not even funny.

Good thing Wemple didn't come with though because at one point I wished she was there so I could look at her and laugh... you know when the instructor says "bring your feet back down to the earth" ... in this low, tree hugger like voice. it was just funny, still love me some yoga though.

This is by far my favorite pose as of late... it's called the warrior 3 and it really just makes you feel likeyou are flying...


so yes, I love Yoga... which is awesome because my doctor said it would be really great for me while I am waiting for my foot to heal! woop!

one short run a week?
So, if you know me.. you know that not being able to run is TORTURE. So, I have decided that as long as it doesn't hurt I am going to do one short run a week... so like 2-3 miles. I am geeked!!


french fries. spinach dip. cookie skillet. alfredo. chocolate cake and ice cream.
I FAILED this weekend and I HATE it. I have such a hard time eating healthy on the weekend because my schedule is so messed up. The more scheduled my day, the better I eat. So, my new goal is to stick with the healthy weekend through the weekend. :)

muscle definition, feeling stronger.
So I know i have been complaining about not being able to run but I am noticing one thing about this whole ordeal that makes me happy. I HAVE MUSCLE DEFINITION! My arms are starting to look AWESOME and I am so excited. :) My core and abs also feel so much more stronger, even my legs--- although they are veryyyyy tight! :)


Feeling Distant.

Lately, I just feel like God is so far away. And this is not really in a BAD way, I just feel slightly disconnected. I am less motivated to read my Bible, as in I don't even do it like once a week and I just feel so BLAH about it. I hate saying that I "don't have time" because that is such a lame excuse when it comes to Jesus. He would NEVER say that to us. So... new plan!

either...
1. read my Bible with my coffee in the morning ... or...
2. read it before bed.. BEFORE my fun book

and... start a bible study/book club!! I am really excited to do this with Megan and Amanda and whoever else this summer, I think we are going to start by reading the book Made to Crave by Lysa TerKeurst. I have read mixed reviews on it but I am so excited!

I wish I liked every book of the bible as much as I like Jonah and 1 John.

We've got Brothers and Sisters.
Today Rob taught on Revelation 3 and to be honest I was kind of drifting in and out and my attention was a little off... but one main thing he touched on was the fact that we aren't alone. We have friends, family, brothers and sisters in Christ that are there for us. They want to share our pain and struggles with us, they want to pray for us and they want to just be with us. This made me feel better about my distance lately... and made me so thankful for the people in my life who are there for me. I love them dearly.
