Blast off!!

Hello friends! So today has been a great day, and I hope yours was as equally good! I started my morning feeding, burping and changing poops.. but during the babies nap one I decided it was time for some yoga that is just a little over due! During my pregnancy I did a lot of prenatal yoga and absolutley loved it. For all my pregger friends you can borrow my dvd if you would like.. first come first serve. It totally helped me feel better, breathing, strength and energy wise. 

But I its been awhile since I have done yoga full strength..so today I decided to pull out this little diddy..

Now, I'm not a huge p90x person.. my husband got the dvds from a friend and we pull out random ones when we are short on time and the gym just doesn't fit in the schedule. Well, needless to say.. it kicked my booty.. I forget how hard yoga is. My flexibility sure isn't what it use to be back in the dancing days but I'm determined to get there. So yoga twice a week is the goal. 

I picked up this fancy little melon today..

And it was delish, I know I've said it before.. but I love melons.. I killed half of it.. (it was a small one.. but still) oh, and they were on sale at sunflower 3 for $1!! 

Mr. B didn't get home till later tonight so I hit the gym a little later then planned... I snacked on a banana with some almond butter for a little energy.. (the iphone makes this look not so appetizing but its extraordinary.)

 and hit the treadmill here is my results..

Distance: 4.68 miles

Time: 50:00 minutes

Calories burned: 602 (ps.. thats just what the treadmill said but truthfully you really burn at least 30% more than that!)
