Not So Different.. Anymore

I’ve talked about it a bit before, but ever since I started yoga, I’ve felt a conflict between my love of yoga and everything it has become for me, and fitness, or more particularly competitive fitness. I started yoga after I competed back in November 2009. Competing was a wonderful experience, but there was also a lot I did wrong.

Work has been the busiest since I started, I’ve been working long hours and a lot of weekends, but it made me realize more than ever how important getting in my regular workouts and sticking with my meal plan is.

We’ve always been pretty big on celebrations in my family. I have such wonderful memories from these events growing up; surrounded by family and friends for New Years, Easter, 4th of July, Birthday, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick’s Day, May Day.. you name...
