All about Yoga and Health

I have read too much about how to lose weight and how much exercise should I do if I want to see a better result, but I’ve come out with my own way of getting fit. After gaining a few kilos, most parts of my body look flabby. I think I would like to concentrate on toning up instead of losing the weight.

So, what have I done? Let’s see.

• I’m struggling to go back to yoga and if my maid is back, I might be able to go back to classes 3 times a week. Yoga and pilates will definitely help a lot in toning up and enhancing the curves.
• I stop taking solid food after 6pm, but if I’m too hungry, I will take some vegetable soup and a glass of milk before bedtime.
• Detoxification is done a few days a week to cleanse my body system and improve my digestive system. I feel much better after doing this for a month.
• Drink lots of water every day. I’m a coffee drinker, but I try to limit it to no more than 3 cups a day now. Of course, I try my best to take only black coffee without the sugar. But I will have to drink more water because caffeine is dehydrating.
• Get enough sleep! I’m trying my best to have at least 7 hours of sleep a day, including taking a short nap.
• Leading a stress free life. I have a tendency of overeating if I’m moody or stressed. So, by controlling my emotion, I have a better control on my diet.

Did I miss anything? All I know is I’m losing weight slowly but as long as there’s no yo-yo effect, I am more than happy. So far, I’ve lost 2kg in a month. So, let’s see how things go.
