It has been a long time since I've posted on here and a lot has happened in our lives since my last post. Part of my New Years resolution is to keep up with a hobby so I am going to try to update my blog on a regular basis. Sometimes life just seems so ordinary and mundane so I never know what to write about.
On that note, every year I make New Years Resolutions but I rarely stick to them. They are achievable but I make it too hard where I can't stay motivated so this year I am making them more easily attainable.
My goals for 2011 are:
- Pay off our credit card
- Add to our savings
- Establish a better budget and stick to it.
- Find a hobby
- Exercise consistently
- Read through my Bible in a year
I always make goals to lose X amount of weight and it doesn't happen quickly so I get discouraged so this year I decided just to start exercising and bettering my health instead.
Last night I went to my very first yoga class at the gym here on base with a friend. I thought it would be an easy class to start with but I was shaky from the minute we started and today my body hurts. I felt accomplished at the end of the class because I finally went and survived my first class. I think I will try to do yoga on a regular basis because it has great benefits such as:
- Increases Flexibility, Strength, Posture, and Balance
- Develops Core Strength
- Tones and creates lean muscles
- Expands lung capacity
- Reduces tension, relieves stress, relaxes the mind
- Engages the mind to increase concentration and focus
- Therapeutic for previous injuries through muscle conditioning
- Improves the mood and can suppress mental issues such as OCD or depression.
- Establishes body awareness and creates self-acceptance
- Lowers blood pressure and slows heart rate which decreases your cholesterol and triglycerides, can reverse the effect of heart disease, and helps those who suffer from hypertension or strokes
- Allieviates chronic medical conditions like asthma, migraines and arthritis
- Energy level increases
- Improves blood circulation
- Promotes a healthier lifestyle
