I am trying to recommit myself to strength training as well. I feel the same way as you do right now about how I felt last summer vs. now. I wonder if it ties into the seasonal differences too?

Anyway, good luck with recommitting! I appreciate you sharing this with us.

I like how you mixed the pumpkin with yogurt! I’m going to have to try that!

I kinda slacked off on working my muscle out too. Cardio is good but I need to do some strength training. Good luck at getting those muscles back!!

I love mixing pumpkin puree into yogurt – I had a similar concoction for breakfast a few days ago, including toasted walnuts. They are my favorite nuts, and I actually just made some walnut-almond butter, which turned out pretty well!

my biggest improvement has been in the downward dog pose. i can actually do it now and don’t hate it like i did the first week or two of my practice. it’s become one of my favorite poses.

you say you’re going to strength train 3 times a week- what length of session do you think is advisable? I’m also happy with my weight but would like to feel a bit stronger/more toned!

Day 20: Just a short 20 minute Morning Flow. While I’m not at school it’s so much harder to stay in a routine

I have gained arm strength from my yoga practice which has made all of the downward dogs and chatarungas a lot easier!

Today I went to my first yoga class! It was different than what I expected, and I didn’t work as hard as I do on my yoga DVDs. However, the instruction was useful, and it was nice to have an instructor critique and adjust my asanas. I bought a 2 week pass, so maybe I’ll find a different class that I like better.
