Day one thoughts about Yoga and Pilates.

Last night I made myself go to sleep an hour earlier so that I could wake up earlier. I watched the Yoga DVD and did 2 out of 4 of the workouts. I gotta admit: I have no balancing skills. I'm gonna stick with it though because it was a great warm-up, and the relaxation portions really worked. I stopped halfway through because I feel like the Yoga was helping more with calming, balancing, and stretching my body, which is great. But I really wanted and needed a more intense workout. Granted, I did pick "Gentle Yoga", I still wanted more of a workout.

Pilates are no joke! My arms are killing me, which feels good because I'm focusing more on my upper body. I'm not gonna plan to do this every day, because when I put too much pressure on myself, I always let myself down. So I'm gonna try and do it every other day. Today, because I tried both DVDs, I ended up working out for almost 2 hours. I don't want to hit a plateau too soon though. It feels good to have a small energy boost.

Note to self: Buy a smoothie maker. I tried to make green tea this morning... tasted like metal ass.
