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 : Introductions must be made...

My name is Iliana, but many of my friends know me as Illy (or Tilly). To say I am daunted by this challenge would be a flat out lie. Why, you ask? I'll tell ya, friend. I am, first and foremost, a yoga virgin.

In preparation for this challenge, I started doing yoga 1 to 2 times a week (over the past 3 weeks). And I have to say, I'm already feeling pretty good about my mad yoga skills.

The second item that chills my soul is the whole "no meat" and "no bread" thing. I feel like Frodo, faced with the horrifying task of walking the ring into Mordor (my preciousss... bread). Knowing that when, or if, he returned, he would not be the same. 

I'm going to level with you... I grew up in a greek household. My dad would make pasta for dinner, and then we would use bread to wipe up the left over pasta sauce. I legitimately can't remember the last time I went a single day without some sort of delicious carb.

But I figure after smoking for 10+ years (3 weeks clean), poor food choices, drinking like a fish, and a lot of partying, I suppose I can try living healthy for 30 days. 

I owe my body that much.



baconbaconbaconbaconn-oops, sorry. I feel asleep at the keyboard thinking about the next 30 days.
