Weekly Wrap - Feb 4

Linking up with Holly and Wendy for the Weekly Wrap.

I got home from my road trip to MN around midnight between Friday and Saturday. Completely exhausted after being in the car around 18 hours or so. As I got undressed and ready for bed, I glanced in the mirror and did not like what I saw. So, I was really nervous stepping on the scale this morning (I generally weigh myself Sunday mornings), hoping that the number hadn't climbed too much in the past two weeks since I last weighed myself.

I'd lost 2.6 pounds. What?! Proof that the number on the scale isn't really all that important. It's more important to feel good and have those clothes fit properly.

Here's what I was up to last week.

Workouts

Fitness-wise, this past week was pretty light. I finished out the TRUE 30-day yoga challenge and started the Supermans, Squats, and Twists challenge. And that's about it. 😄

I really enjoyed the TRUE 30-day yoga challenge. It wasn't really what I was expecting, but I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting. LOL The daily videos were mostly short. There may have been a couple over 30 minutes, but mostly they hovered around the 20 minute mark. The practices were very mindful and slow. This wasn't real heart-pumping move-through-the-poses yoga. Instead, there was emphasis on taking your time between poses to really focus on not only the pose but also the transition.

The only thing I didn't care for (and I think I'm the minority) was the final session was without audio cues. This wasn't a pleasurable experience for me. I got very stuck in my head and had trouble relaxing into the poses. Also, I felt I had to sacrifice form at times in order to look at the screen. It was disappointing because I'd enjoyed all the days leading up to this one.

If you are looking for a mindful 30-day yoga journey, I would definitely recommend TRUE.

Finished the TRUE 30-day yoga challenge and now onto the #supermansquattwist challenge. What else was @EnjoytheCourse up to last week? #weeklywrap

I spent the rest of the week chilling out with my family. It was good to finally meet my baby nephews (already 11 months old!) and their Mommas. It was bitter cold in MN, though, and I got sick, so most of my time was spent indoors.

We then spent 2 days in the car driving back to Las Vegas. Be sure to pop over to my Ultimate Coffee Date post to see some pictures from our drive.

Videos

I didn't do nearly as many videos last week. Not surprising, since I didn't really do much of anything last week. lol
