The adventure continues

Hi all. I'm on day 33 of my 102 day adventure of being active everyday!  I hit the month mark and it had only felt like a few weeks. My energy is high and I'm am feeling really strong and positive.  My routine has been weights and cardio Monday through Saturday and yoga on Sundays. I have also tried a couple Pilates routines that I like a lot. 

The yoga that I do is from Tara Stiles on her YouTube channel or videos from her website, Tarastiles.com.  She is a model turned yoga rockstar.  She is unpretentious and makes yoga seem almost easy.  I am not any where near the level I would like to be, but I am on my way. It is something I will continue to do.  The Pilates series I have done are from Livestrong.com by pilates instructor, Cassey Ho. She also has her own website @ www.blogilates.com.

During the month of August, I hope to go out into the Tampa Bay and check out what the fitness community has to offer. The top on my list as of right now is Barre and a ballet class (it's been years!). DO you have any recommendations for me?

Hope you all are having a great weekend.  Check me out on my Instagram - MissyLiveFit, if you don't already.

Help support the fight against Childhood Obesity

HI ALL,

I hope that everyone has recovered from holiday festivities 
and are back on track.

I, myself, did not partake in any beer guzzling, but I did have the chance to watch many of my friends partake and it was hilarious!  
Happy Birthday America. :-D

I am using this entry to bring awareness to childhood obesity. I hope you can take a moment and click on this link.

Ayla is a friend of mine and is one of the most dedicated people to health and fitness I've ever met (and I've met a lot).  She is taking it a step further by raising money for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation as she trains for the Chicago Marathon.  As you will read on her page, 'The Alliance's goal is to reduce the prevalence of childhood obesity and empower kids to develop lifelong, healthy habits.  This is a true passion on mine and I hope you can help.  If you aren't able to donate, please take the time to pass the message along'.

Thank you so much for anything you can do and GOOD LUCK AYLA!!
