Ally the Magical Yoga Instructor

Can I talk about how obsessed I am with this yoga instructor, Ally?  So Hannah got to experience the magic that is Ally, and she can vouch for it.  I started going to Yogis Anonymous from a Groupon, and never in my life have I ever had such an amazing yoga instructor.  I've been kind of a Groupon work out floater to get the best deals, but I think this is the first time that I am actually going to buy a membership because of how much I like her classes.  And the thing I like about her classes is she's not only about the yoga, but she's really about connecting with your mind and your body, and I really like that. 

So I'll do a recap as well!

Yesterday:

• Breakfast: Mixed berry smoothie with almond milk, oatmeal, chia seeds and a little honey 
• Mid-day snack: snap peas 
• Lunch: Bow tie pasta w/ vodka sauce, tomatoes, onion & mushrooms (normal size portion, go me!) 
• Pre-Yoga Snack: Approximately 5 scoops of peanut butter (girl needs her protein!) 
• Dinner: My masterful salad as you saw in Hannah's picture & 1.5 glasses of white wine

Today:

• Breakfast: Same smoothie as yesterday & coffee w/ fat free creamer
• Mid-day snack: Hard boiled egg 
• Lunch: Ahi Tuna sandwich with side salad and 1 Arnold Palmer
• Evening snack: Almonds and corn on the cob 

I was meant to do a workout class with Mary tonight, but she cancelled, so I came home meaning to do a P90X workout, but I am feeling tired so am now lying on the couch.  Going to try to rally myself to do some ab work and maybe lunges in a bit, but I'm trying to listen to my body more if it tells me I'm tired.  And I did 3 workouts this week so far, so I feel good about that.

I also think I've been doing a better job at drinking.  Monday Seth and I had a beer with dinner, but instead of going for a second like I usually do, I stopped at one.  Same with last night.  Usually once the bottle of wine opens I continue to drink, but I stopped myself at 1.5!  Casey--I will see your two nights of drinking and I will beat you with three.  Te he.  But I do think that even if I drink several nights a week, maybe I can just  reel back on the number of glasses I have to cut back on the calories, and that will help to make a difference!
