DAY FIVE: Exhale Boston
Core Basics: still hard!
YOGA - YanaPrayu 2/3
Good thing I’d warmed up in Core! Because there was no warm-up for Yoga. And before I knew it, my shoulders were under my knees and my feet were in the air, I was crowing up a storm, and tripod head-standing (shakily!). Great class and still in love with that dark lit studio.

Like everyone and their mother (really…my mother emailed me to echo these sentiments herself) work this week is boring. Like, fall asleep sitting up at my desk boring.

3. They’re a black family with their very own show.
4. It’s inspirational whether you’re 150 pounds of 400 pounds.

Saying “I’m not a runner” only means that RIGHT NOW you might not run on a regular basis. But if you want to...

MOTIVATION: just do it.
From FITsugar:
I bet you can think of many reasons why you should exercise, but some days, well, you just don’t feel like it. Nobody is in the mood to work out every time we’re supposed to, because it’s hard work. It requires effort to gather up your gear and head to the gym. If you’re not feeling very motivated, it’s easy to be lazy on the couch and skip out on the...
