Starting off the New Year...with a cold :(

One of my many goals for this year was for me to start a blog documenting my continued journey into wellness. For those of you who have not met me yet, I am currently studying to get my Masters in Holistic Nutrition. In addition, I teach yoga and do bodywork and am still in the stage of being super eager to learn all I can about yoga and the integration of mind and body. As I get revved up to start off my new year, I come into 2010 with some challenges. It may not seem so much of a challenge and maybe more of a bothersome thing. Coming down with a semi-cold (sore throat and slight coughing) has put my energy level on low when my mind is ready to kick into high gear and get my body back into shape from the holiday coma of overindulgence.

However, this morning, I have managed to get up this morning at dawn and get myself on track to get back into shape again. I am one who has slacked a bit in my yoga practice and I am slowly getting back into it again. One of the things that has been lacking is more strength training and cardio. During the winter, my practice tends to be a lot slower and more about holding poses and slower vinyasas, so that has not helped very much with me putting on some pounds from the holidays. I have started doing a P90X program that lasts about three months to get back into my optimal fitness. I will be tracking how I am doing and even offering up some tips for you out there who are looking to get back into shape but need to have that motivation to keep going. I welcome 2010 and look forward to be it being my best year ever !
