You both look very happy :) Whenever I make salads at the WF salad bar people look at me like I am insane because I am so random. On my birthday I did a huge pile that included everything from blueberries to roasted red peppers. Weird, but delicious! Adorable photo of you and Justine by the flowers. You both look very happy :)

They're a bit more advanced, and the classes are not offered in a big cold cardio room (the main reason I DO NOT like yoga at my gym). As a former cardio addict, I was the same way with yoga. If I did take a class, I followed it up with a run or did the elliptical before class. Since Christmas, I've done nothing but yoga really, and I seriously feel like I'm in great shape. I will run occasionally, but nothing like what I did before. That being said, I need to feel like I've gotten a good work out in when I do yoga, and 60 minutes of breathing exercises and stretching doesn't cut it for me. I've been doing power vinyasa flow yoga at a heated studio here in Nashville, and it is definitely a workout! I sweat up a storm, I'm starving all day long, and I've been needing a lot more sleep. All of these factors tell me that my body is working <em>hard</em><strong>! I know yoga studios aren't cheap, but a lot of them offer a trial class for free. I encourage you to check out some local studios and see what they have to offer. Let me know if you do. It took a while for yoga to stick for me, but now it's all I want to do. Hope this helps Emily!</strong> Emily,

I would really love to do something like that. Looks like you and Justine had a great time together. Your WF lunch looks delish! Thanks for the shout-out about my contest, Heather! Now that my finals are done, I am excited to catch up on the blogworld! So glad you are enjoying the yoga workshop. I would really love to do something like that.

I've tried a class or two and spent the entire time feeling like a lazy bum for not sweating my butt of on the treadmill... Perhaps as a former ballerina the classes were simply not challenging enough. Would the classes at an actual yoga studio be more difficult? With Love, Emily Heather,

I have missed hearing from you, but figured you were just very busy! I am glad it was just a google reader issue! So glad you had a chance to meet up with a fellow blogger. I bet it is so nice b/c the awkward introductions are out of the way and you already know so much about each other through each others blogs. Lots to talk about I am sure :) Yes, I did order the Say Yes to Carrots online and LOVE it. The lotion is scented but not very strong and not greasy like other lotions I have tried. I really love it and the other nurses at work who I have let try mine, really like it as well! Have a great day lady! Abbie Heather!
