30 Day Yoga Challenge

What do you get when you combine two friends who are terrified of the winter weight gain? A 30 day yoga/vegetarian challenge! It is really quite simple:

1. Have a friend who has intermediate-hard level knowledge in yoga.
2. Do serious yoga everyday for 30 days.
3. Eat lots of grains, fruits, and veggies... but no meat. No alcohol. No smokes. For 30 days.

Illy's POV : Day 8 - So This Happened...

October 7, 2014

Remember how yesterday I mentioned my clothes felt different? Well, I have officially gone down a pant size. I ran some errands on my lunch today, and I just so happened to walk past one of my favourite stores.

Side note: I stopped trying to buy jeans in stores a while back. Somewhere along the way, jeans stopped fitting my ass. I found this retro pair online that "fit me" and made me feel comfortable, so I have been using those for over a year now. ~End side note.~

With it being Fall, I figured I would check out their sweaters. Little did I know, I was about to find my favourite jeans of all time.

Respectfully, the jeans themselves are nothing special. Your standard jean with some scuff marks to make it look like "I just threw on a really old pair I found in my closet" (for full effect, please read that in Valley Girl).

What's special about the jeans is how I feel in them. Maybe there was a method to the madness that is this challenge.

It was a good day today. 

Illy's POV : Day 7 - Slow and uneventful

October 6, 2014

This is not going to be a very long post, as today was somewhat uneventful. But both Ashley and I have noticed that we definitely cannot eat as much as previously. I didn't think it was possible to feel the same I-have-just-eaten-a-whole-pizza-by-myself full with a vegetarian diet. But apparently it is!

I'm feel so much better today though, about everything. I find myself craving fruit like it is nobodies business.

I have also noticed that my clothes are fitting a little differently. Pants and shirts that may have been a bit  snug are now... less so? Maybe that is just wishful thinking.
