Finding My Balance

I have been in a major rut since moving to Colorado. I would love to say that it has only been a few weeks or even months, but I have lived here since August of last year! That is officially 1 year. Since moving here, I have gained 15 lbs (this happened after one of the healthiest years of my life). I managed to find an amazing job doing something related to my degree, but it has it ups and downs...way too many downs. I work the midnight shift and drive 2 hours, round-trip, to get to work.  All things haven't been that bad. I have had a great year in Colorado, Joe being the main good thing here. My time with Joe is amazing, but limited. I am also, trying to plan my wedding!


I have recently made some changes in my life that will hopefully be positive changes. One thing that I have added back into my life is yoga! I have been practicing for almost 7 years on and off. I am happiest when I make time for my practice. This has recently been a priority for me. I have found an awesome studio in Colorado Springs, Core Power Yoga. It is a chain, which I was really nervous about, but it has been amazing!! Everyone is so kind and I really feel like I fit in with the community.

I have been trying to make it to the studio at least 4 times a week. The days I go, my attitude is great! I feel great and I just want to keep smiling. I can truly feel a difference.  Core Power offers a variety of classes for every level. My two favorites are Core Power 2 and Core Power Sculpt. They both are done in heated rooms and give me a great work out! I leave knowing that I have given it my all. Core Power 2 is a 1 hour, hot vinyasa flow class that targets your entire body. Core Power Sculpt is a 1 hour, hot vinyasa flow class with weights added into the mix! I LOVE this class. I am hoping that with time, I will begin to see some tone and definition in my body.

 My practice is my own, it gives me time to relax and focus on me.

Spring is in the Air

I can't believe how quickly this year is going by. Today is officially the first day of Spring! This Spring I am going to focus on two of my favorite things: Running and Yoga.

I have been practicing yoga for a few years now, but I haven't really made it apart of my life here in Colorado. This week I finally picked a class and went. I am so happy to finally get out my yoga mat and head back to yoga class.

It is finally starting to be warm enough outside to grab my running shoes and go for a run. I love everything about running outside. It was the first time that I was able to go outside for run. I had the best workout, in 1 hour I was able to do 30 minutes of weightlifting, run 3 miles at a less then 10 min per mile pace, and I burned over 600 calories.

In celebration of Spring, I have teamed up with a few other bloggers to bring you a chance to win a $50 gift card to one my my favorite running and yoga apparel stores, Lululemon.  You can find almost anything that you need to be comfortable while getting your workout on.
