P90X Yoga is the bomb

Ok so my bf is doing the P90X program He's on day 43 and doing AMAZING! Part of the program is an almost 2 hr yoga X (X for extreme of course) dvd. On his yoga days I usually join in and the kids often do too. This program KICKS my ASS every time! It's SO good for you!! So right now I'm doing that 1-2 times a week as well as the hot yoga 5-7 times a week, and home yoga for an hour or so about twice a week. I can feel shape taking place under my skin. I feel myself walking taller, feeling more at home in my body even though its changing daily. I feel definition at every curve. When I flex my arms at work, people don't believe that all I do is yoga....and they think I'm crazy to do so much yoga-I work the best shifts next week (11-3) so I can drop my bf at work, go to the 9am 90 minute hot yoga class, shower, work, then go to the 60 minute hot yoga class at 3:30, and be done by the time he's finished work at 5. (His studio is above the hot yoga studio). What do you consider "too much" yoga? Is there such a thing? Now...how do I get rid of this last stubborn 20ish pounds??

Kids Grounded Yoga

My 8yr old son is enrolled in a kids yoga program called Go Grounded and in the fall I am going to Vancouver for the teacher trainer to be able to run the program. I am friends with his current teacher and with her inspiration and guidance am excited to move into a teacher position. You can visit her website here: Marcia Wilson Yoga This morning I was her assistant and really loved the way the kids respond to yoga! Go Grounded is such a great program, I highly recommend it to all kids and teens! It reinforced to me that this is what I want to do, I want to lead others to be their best yogi! Noah has his red bandana and is working on his orange, and 3 students tested for their red today and all three passed! Over the summer they will work on developing a flow from their pose chart and be able to teach it to their fellow students. So exciting!

Todays lunch was a vegan pizza panini and a wasabi arugula salad with a raspberry vinaigrette; check it out!

So delish!

Back to blogging....

It's been a while since I bloggered. Blogged? Either way, it's been a long time. I wont bore you with the details of why, but lets start with where I am right now. I'm 31. Live with my boyfriend of 2 years and my boys (15 and 8). Getting divorced if I can ever track down my ex husband. We have a cat. We often work crazy hours and sometimes only see each other for 5 minutes at a time. I currently work in a Supermarket and have for 5 years and hate it so much right now. I think of us often as a typical suburban family. We work, play, transport kids here and there, wish we had more time to take vacations, and can't stand to be apart. I never knew true love until I met my wonderful man. I'm so grateful to have him in mine and my children's lives!

Right now; I'm currently into a fairly intense weight loss challenge for myself; ultimately I'd love to lose another 20 pounds to be 100% at my "correct" weight for my height, but I'm at the point right now where that's all hard hard work and I have to struggle for each and every pound but thats ok and I'm up for it! But it takes time. I have a regular yoga practice for close to a year now, and regularly attend hot yoga classes. In October I am going for the Go Grounded kids yoga teacher training. I am hoping to carry on and train to teach all age groups and eventually open my own yoga studio. My 8 yr old loves yoga and takes regular classes as well, and my boyfriend and oldest son also do yoga. We truly believe it is the fountain of youth. I also go through spurts of running a lot, and then not at all.

We are eating mostly vegetarian these days, and from time to time I may share photos and or recipes of what we're eating. Some of my inlaw-family is vegan/allergy issues so we do often cook and bake that way as well. We work around all of our allergies and try not to run into bad allergic reactions! So I welcome you all on this journey back to blogging as a "new" person :)
