CCM Healthy Train (Yes, We Said Healthy Train)

Something to think about over the weekend!! CCM Healthy Train (Yes, We Said Healthy Train)

Here at Cap City Moms we know all too well how hard it is to make time for ourselves and put our health first. The to-do lists, the kids…work, deadlines, cleaning, laundry. There is always SOMETHING that needs to be done. 

But you guys, we HAVE to stop putting ourselves last.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

I want my hair to grow back and I want to stay on my yoga train and get super tiny and fit again and I want bangs again. Long flowy mermaid hair avec bangs. I'm cutting down my drinking to one day a week bc saying I won't drink at all is unrealistic. No excuses, sleep deprived or not, I'm doing 6:30am yoga at least 4 days a week, running/ weight training at least 3 days a week, eating mostly clean (more so than I already have been) and smiling and saying something nice to myself everyday.

My Experience with Bikram Yoga and an Update on Riding the Healthy Train

Well, it's been almost a month since I got on the healthy train. I've made a few pitstops and detours (ahem, Thanksgiving) along the way but overall I think it's going really well and I can already tell that I've formed some good, long-lasting habits. 

As part of this experiment, I purchased a Groupon to a Bikram yoga studio near me to switch up my workouts and to have the guilt of already spending money on something to make me actually do it. When Mike and I were living in Tucson I found a wonderful studio (http://www.yogaoasis.com/home.html) where classes were only $4 each and at my peak I was attending class at least three times a week. This made me feel somewhat confident about attending Bikram yoga but after Googling "what to expect at your first Bikram yoga class" I started getting really nervous. Stories of passing out, vomiting and the like kept popping up, sufficiently freaking me out.

I've gone twice now and I can say that I definetly think that it gets easier and more enjoyable each time. My first class was pretty much a nightmare - I was already nervous going in and hadn't eaten a good lunch beforehand. I kept getting dizzy, seeing spots, my hands were shaking and I had to sit for basically the first half of the class. I also had a raging headache when I got home that night.  However, I still had these pesky Groupons to use up so I made myself go again last night making sure that I ate enough for lunch, drank plenty of water before and mixed a little lemon juice and dash of salt in my water bottle for class to keep me going. This time was sooooooo much better. I knew what to expect for one, but being well hydrated and my blood-sugar level helped me concentrate and focus on class - the thing I really love about yoga. I will definitely go on a more regular basis and may even consider buying a class package once my Groupon runs out.  For a good laugh - check this experience out 

On other fronts, healthy train has been chugging right along. I have attended a spin class at least once a week, been cooking and eating most of my meals at home, haven't had a diet soda, or any soda for that matter, in weeks and although my scale is broken (or out of batteries that I'm too lazy to change) I think I'm down a few pounds since I'm finally fitting back in my size 6 pants that were too tight a couple of weeks ago. I stopped tracking my calories with My Fitness Pal, however. It's a great app and I do think it's good to take an inventory of what you are putting into your body on a regular basis but it was kind of stressing me out to see my calories countdown - on some days I was certainly not eating enough and would challenge myself to do it again (read: starving myself all day) and on the days I went over I starting beating myself up about it. I think it's better to just supply/surround yourself with healthy choices and let your cravings and hunger dictate what you eat from those resources. Of course, I had a few cheat days but I think that's ok every now and then.

My next challenge will be to see how I can stick to these guidelines while on vacation in Chicago (a recap post will make it's way on here I'm sure) this weekend.
