Day 1: 30 Days of Yoga

Yoga has always been a big part of my adult life. I started practicing since age 18. Granted, it became more challenging as I became heavier but it also made me stronger. I realized that since 2011 I unfortunately, stopped practicing. Perhaps it was the change of moving and welcoming a lot of new things in my life that kept me from going back to a steady routine and incorporating yoga.

I decided I needed a jump start and get back into it. That's when I found Yoga with Adriene. I signed up for her newsletter and it pointed me to her YouTube channel. What a great first day!

Namaste!

Day 92 of 365: Sleep

5th March 2013 | 8:08 am

I hope I don't jinx myself by writing this but I have to say that I have been getting THE BEST SLEEP ever! That's a rare thing in my household.

I'm used to have late, sleepless nights ever since...well, birth really. So how did it happen? Surely, it didn't happen over night right? (Yes, pun intended)

No, it didn't.

In fact, it was something I was desperately working on. Every day for the past couple of weeks, I tried conditioning myself to spend an hour less in bed upon rising from my sleepy slumber and no naps during the day. Yes, that just meant less sleep (warning: don't do this if you NEED the energy for work or school.)

Slowly, my body was tired enough to retire at a decent hour and wake up at a decent hour. I'm also surprised that I don't wake up in the middle of the night.

Exercise also is a key ingredient to insomnia (at least it is for me).

So wake up people! Its a BEAUTIFUL Tuesday morning. Have a great run!
