Yoga: Tara Stiles Style
So I have started my yoga journey! As I told you before I have started to follow a lot of yogis on instgram and now I need yoga to be a part of my life! I was discussing my interest in yoga with one of my good friends and she suggested I look up this Tara Stiles on Youtube. So I did and I've followed a handful of her routines over the past two weeks. Check out her videos below and click on the videos to get access to her Youtube page. You should check her page out because she has a ton of great videos with routines, recipes, and advice on health and fitness.
As always...ENJOY!!

Resisting Temptation
Hello All!
So here's another update on my progress. So first I got a new job!! That means I have three jobs...I'm excited about more money but it sucks up a lot of my time. And to further complicate things I was in training for my new job all last week and they took all of the free time I had to fit in more training. That crazy schedule led to no trip to the grocery store. No food at home means I didn't prep my meals for the week and ate out literally every night of the week. And to top that off I was exhausted and only made it to the gym twice that week. Epic Fail!! And the scale showed every bad decision.
But on a positive note I learned my lesson. This week I made the necessary sacrifices to make it to the store. I have officially stated my first of four weeks paleo. I prepped my meals, including salmon, tuna, tomatoes, peas, and apples among other things. I have learned to love tuna with out mayo! Woot!
Now as you may know I love to eat sweets and this paleo restriction is really difficult. Like no, it's so hard! So I was sitting at work day dreaming about cupcakes. Then I decided I NEEDED a cupcake! My solution: get on pinterest and find paleo friendly cupcake recipes. I found some great recipes (I'll be trying out and posting my results at a later date) but when I got to the store I found out they don't carry coconut flour. I was devastated! I needed coconut flour for all of the recipes I wanted to try and I couldn't go elsewhere because it was late and storming outside. So I spent a good 30 minutes searching the store for a paleo friendly sweet treat.
I considered buying a single cupcake, maybe a package of cookies, or a small container of ice cream. I even made it to the check out line with the ice cream! But by the grace of God I had the strength to put the ice cream back and go home empty handed. I was super duper proud of myself.
I will be picking up some coconut flour at a local natural foods (Idk if that's the proper name for that kind of store) store today.
I'll let you know how the cupcakes turn out!
