I heart yoga!

I went to yoga this morning at the gym, because their was no school and I was actually able to get my lazy butt out of bed. Let me tell you it was worth it! I freaking love the way I feel when I step out of a yoga class... UH-MAZING!!! I wish my gym held more yoga classes! AND I think next week I am going to try and do a early morning cycling class during the week and get ready for school at the gym... we shall see!

Tomorrow I am going on a walk with my mom. We usually do this every Saturday, I am trying to get her to run some during our walk, but that is a work in progress haha!

Summer is approaching quickly, and I am doing my best to hold myself accountable for attaining a stunning beach body! Although you can say I'm taking baby steps... pretty soon though they will turn into adult steps. The amount of classes at the gym I am taking is increasing, and I am finding myself working out even while brushing my teeth (every little but helps). Right now my legs are so sore, and I LOVE IT! I can't wait to get rid of these thunders. Bu-bye old body, hello Marissa Miller body!

Okay maybe trying to attain a body this perfect is setting myself up for failure.... but I can dream can't I! AND it serves as a GREAT motivator! 

1,400 calories today! I haven't kept track in a couple of days and I must say I'm proud of myself! AND....... I've been doing little mini exercise's in the morning and before bed. Mostly targeting my legs and and abs. I'll write more later :)

DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!!

I'm slaping myself on the wrist for eating In-N-Out today and also for not working out. I blame it on stress because I'm taking the RICA tomorrow... but I am still disappointed in myself... The good news is even including the fast food I did not go over my suggested calorie intake (yes i counted all of my calories today)! I plan on doing some crunches and leg lifts tonight before bed. I want to say i will wake up early and work out before my test but since I'm closing tonight I'm going to need all the sleep I can get, and I will have tomorrow night off so I do plan on going to the gym and hitting up the elliptical machine :)

I'm feeling good!

I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I just wanted to update everyone and say I am feeling pretty good about myself! I have been running fairly regularly (with the exception of today... stupid work!) with Ashley and Sophia. I also had a long discussion tonight with one of my co-workers about how much I want my legs to look like hers. As you know... my legs are my problem area... so we talked about working out for a long while. In conclusion I have a few new things to add to my "to do" list for my body:

1. Drink lots of green tea (antioxidants and tummy fat burner)
2. Start going to spin classes, and utilize the elliptical :)
3. Get a jump rope!

This picture will serve as my motivation! Firm body, nice legs.... I am coming for you! It might not happen by Valentines Day which is what I was originally planning, but I am getting there! And if anything I think I am getting into the right mindset. I figure all of this is in my head, so if I can imagine myself with a nice firm body and follow though with my workout plan then... I WILL reach my goals!

I will admit, I haven't been keeping great track of my calories. I do find that's it is helpful with portion control, and it's nice to know and keep track of what I have been eating... but I felt that it got kind of tedious, and sometimes when I am in a hurry I forget to enter things into my phone. Well, this needs to be extinguished! No more lazy... no more assuming I am eating under my calories! Keeping track is making it's comeback starting tomorrow!
I have also put two gym classes into my calendar :) mat pilates on Sunday morning and then Yoga on Wednesday evening. An alarm will go off that makes sure I make it to these classes. And hopefully after next weekend I can talk myself into buying a jump rope. I think that will be an easy (and beneficial) workout that can be done within a few mins. if I am in a rush (which is most of the time). I also want to add that my legs are a little sore from doing small leg exercises like lunges and leg lifts while getting ready in the morning and brushing my teeth at night. YAY, go me! Alright, it's 11:15 and I did want to get some reading in before bed tonight, so an update will be coming soon :)
