Day 139: Anti-Gravity Yoga!

Another day, another yoga class...but not just any yoga class!  MY FAVORITE YOGA CLASS! 

Anti-Gravity Yoga Class.

If you ever get the opportunity to try this, do not pass it up.  It's so fun and I am so freaking sore today (the morning after) that I am SURE I got a great workout.  I mean, honestly, yoga in hammocks?  How has this not caught on all over the country?

 The room.  Hammocks galore! 

 Lauren hanging from the ceiling.  In Chandelier Pose.  What what!

An alternate view for those who were perhaps skeptical at first glance. 

Ok, technically, I think THIS is my Photo Of The Day Photo.

I was actually really excited that my lovely teacher offered to take a picture because I've never had a picture of myself actually in the hammock.  I've found pictures online of people doing it, but this is the first documentation that I am super awesome and cool* and do Anti-Gravity yoga.

Yay Anti-Gravity!  To any of my NYC friends - if you ever want to go try it, email me and I'll go with you!  Super super fun!



*I really don't think I'm super awesome and cool, but my life has been all work lately so this felt like something REALLY out of the box and a lot more fun than a random photo of my face while waiting for the subway when I realize my day wasn't intersesting and there's nothing else to photograph.  Ha........  Whatever, I'm just saying, don't judge.

Fail, Fail FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Did I run 4 miles this weekend?

Nope.

Did I eat healthy knowing I'm running a race next week?

Nope.

Did I even run both days this weekend?

NOPE.

Saturday, I did some 30 minute Kettlebells Workout Video that was on-demand at my fam's house.

Sunday I ran 2.32 miles. LAME.

My only excuse? It was SO much hotter outside than I thought and I was not prepared.

But still, totally lame, Lauren, and now you have to WORK YOUR TUSH OFF THIS WEEK to make sure you're ready for this race on Saturday.

And y'know what? Because I never actually do anything with weights anymore, that dang kettlebell work out just about killed my muscles. My legs are still sore today. Laaaaame.

Let's see, let's see...bright side?

Mmm, I can't really think of a bright side to any of that.

But I did have an enjoyable weekend. It was so nice to get out of the city. And my puppies enjoyed the trip so much. I also painted eggs! Which is NOT a tradition for my immediate family, so it was a fun new thing!

5 days til my race! AHHH AHHH AHHHHHHH!

Oh and bonus happy: The weather today is SO NICE! Perfect, actually. High of 70. Not too hot, but I didn't need long sleeves at all today!

Tomorrow's hotter...78, not sure if that's too much yet. I want a little more SPRING weather. LOW 70's is ideal. I don't need to go straight to disgusting NY summer.

Lovies and kisses and easter eggs!

No Run Last Night

It was rainy and gross and then started doing CRAZY LIGHTNING!

But to make up for it, I did WiiFit. Hehe. I did the "free step" which means I can basically march in place on the little wii fit board thing while watching TV. I did 2 30-min sessions. Did not even really break a sweat, but at least I was moving...

...and then this morning I woke up and my calves were like "WHOA LAUREN OUCH OUCH OUCH". Cause...y'know, apparently marching for an hour only uses calf muscles? I don't know. But today they are sore and in need of a good stretch.

I am having trouble motivating myself at work. And it's been this way for like 2 weeks. I need something to get me going again. And I'm just like...wah waaaaah. I don't know. I just wanna move to a new city and go back to school, dang it. I wish I knew what I wanted to go for.

SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO WITH MY LIIIIIIIIIFE!

Ok then! Lovies!
