And the work out begins and so does the prep for school

Last Spring I was a work out fiend! I worked out two times a day and ate extremely well.  Once I moved to Conway and started my new job, I stopped working out and resorted to easy snack foods to eat while at work. While I am not entirely dissatisfied with my body, I think it could use a little tune-age.

So tomorrow morning I am going to wake up bright and early and do some yoga! When I say I mean like 5 A.M., soooooo I'm wondering how this is going to work out for me! I do need to kick my nasty habits of eating junk food and being completely inactive, seriously the most exercise I get during the day is the walk up and down the stairs to my office door, which equates to about 8 steps per day.  I sit all day long and then I come home and sit on the couch and read.  I need to get into a good workout schedule because once I start school I will be super busy and the only times I will have will be in the mornings to work out.  For the time being I will do yoga/pilates in the morning before I go to work and then I will come home and walk/run.  Since it is extremely too hot outside to run I will probably opt for the walking option until it gets a little cooler outside.

Also starting tomorrow I am kicking the coffee habit, candy habit, and nasty meal habit, which means I am going to have to pretty much change everything I eat, but I'm okay with that.  I am so open to suggestions about healthy food options.  I am so ready for Fall because oddly enough whenever Fall comes around I want to eat better and exercise more often.

I am excited to see my transformation and see how well I will be able to bounce back into my exercise routine.  I think I will take photos to document my progress and maybe log my food choices, but that may become real boring considering I doubt you guys REALLY care what I am consuming.

Along with my new declaration to lead a healthier life, I am preparing myself for school next semester.  I am so excited and nervous about what I have ahead of me.  I stumbled upon a blog called sometimessweet.blogspot.com while I was looking at honeybeeinthecity.blogspot.com and the girl that writes this blog used to teach English to 10th and 12th graders (exactly the grades I want to teach) and has made me so excited for this new adventure I am embark on.  In my preparation for school next semester I have created a wishlist on Vera Bradley's website because I love her and I think she sells the cutest stuff >.<

Here's a peek:

Granted I don't really need anything of this, but I think it will be nice to have for my fresh new start.  I do admit that I need to less concerned about school supplies and more concerned with studying for my Praxis I and how I am going to pay for it because I need to take it, ideally before September is over, definitely not any time after the second week of October.

Well if I want to get this 5 A.M. yoga on I need to hit the sack so I'm out!
