So today was day 2 of my Yoga Challenge and its was all about the core...let's just say I discovered ab muscles that I didn't know I had. Truth is as a big girl I cheated a bit in some of the sequences (I mean I can't be the only person who can't lift herself up just using her arms right? right?!?!). But as I filed in for my daily dose of hell, I mean work, I felt a little more energized!
I also started to change my eating habits. I was truly inspired by the documentary Hungry for Change and I've started to change my eating habits. I don't eat a lot of meat to begin with (working at a steak house will do that to a girl) but now I get most of my protein from plants, I've greatly reduced my intake of dairy and tried to reduce how much sugar I eat. Sugar is definitely the hardest for me but I'm trying to find that balance of healthy with a dash of sweets.
But, alas, I have a mayor weakness....Chocolate Milk!! I cant live without the stuff!, so I compromised. I had a carton of almond milk lying around (from an experiment to eat cereal with almond milk, epic fail! I'm still trying to find a good substitute) and I mixed it with a little bit of agave and 2 tbsp of cocoa powder (the unsweetened kind) and it was amazing!! Delicious without all that guilty feeling, and you cant even taste the almonds. This is my go-to sweet drink from now on...and I think I'm gonna go make some right now, so good luck guys, tell me if you tried it and loved it, or not so much!
