Body, Mind, & Soul

Since the summer heat is getting to me, I am going to reminisce about the beautiful spring weather and talk about an Eco-Beautiful Weddings Magazine article from the Spring issue, Getting Fit Inside & Out.

The article talks about getting your body, mind, and soul ready for the bid day.  So I thought I would share a few things that I have enjoyed making a part of my routine.  First, I start my day off with a cup of tea in my favorite green mug that was made out of recycled water bottles.

Saturday mornings I enjoy going to visit local farmers markets.  There are a handful within 15 minutes so I like to mix it up to see the variety each has to offer.  If you can’t make it to your local farmers market for the latest and greatest, grocery stores are now featuring produce from local farms.  How can you say NO?

I have always been more of a snacker than a big meal person, so eating every 4 hours is not a big deal for me.  My new favorite snack is the CLIF kid organic ZBar.  I think I have gotten everyone in my family hooked!

To keep hydrated throughout the day, I keep my Camelbak water bottle with me.  I am able to refill it in the kitchen at work and it gives me an excuse to get up and moving every hour or so.

To bring everything together I started doing heated power vinyasa flow yoga a few times a week in addition to running.  I have been doing yoga for a few years now, but heated is a whole new experience.  It pushed me to eat well all of the time and constantly stay hydrated.  For the 90 minutes that I am in the room, I am thinking of nothing outside and I think we all need that break.
