Can I just start out by asking who binged Gilmore Girls this weekend? *raises hand*
Don’t worry, there are NO spoilers here! I had to work Friday and was very careful as I made my way around social media as to not see anything but found that for the most part, people were pretty respectful which was definitely appreciated! I watched one episode before work and the other 3 after, but I have to admit that I kind of feel like I need to watch each one on it’s own at a more normal pace so I can really dive into them further and remember what happens in each episode, instead of the story as a whole. And without the feeling of “when is so-and-so going to show up?” anticipation.
Anyway, last month’s workout recap seemed to be a big hit, so I thought I would continue that this month and take a look back at my workouts from November.
Yoga:
14 classes completed
985 minutes of yoga
Run:
18 miles covered
Circuit/Strength Workouts:
13 short circuits completed
Walks:
18 walks completed (10+ minutes)
Rest:
5 complete rest days taken
Additional Cardio:
3.3 miles biked
I have to admit that while I got in a decent number of yoga classes this month, despite the move mid-month, I found myself just craving it and missing my early morning classes. It’s going to take me a bit to figure out how it really fits into my schedule and what is attainable, but I’m really proud that I was able to fit in so many classes regardless.
I want to work on my at-home practice some more and remembering that I can get in a great flow at home, whether before or after work, through online sources and podcasts. This is how I started doing yoga several years ago so I know it’s possible, but I also love having some place to go practice and sweat it out.
Can I admit that I have felt this huge pull for yoga teacher training? Not to be a full time yoga teacher, but to deepen my practice and maybe even teach a little part time. My studio is offering a course next year but yoga teacher training is pricey and there’s other places my money need to go right now. I’m hoping this is something I can do sometime though because time and time again, yoga proves to be an integral part of my fitness routine but also a significant player in my spiritual, mental and emotional state.

Thats an impressive schedule and an impressive amount of yoga
Amazing job on your work outs! I slacked off this month. I am getting back into the routine though! I’ll be attending 3 barre classes this weekend and going to the gym when I am not in those classes. Here’s to working out!
Wow that is a lot of yoga! I’m not sure how many hours I’ve clocked this month (a lot less than usual because we went away on holiday for a week or so) but I mixed it up with walking, jogging, RPM and Step classes 🙂
Well, you sure shamed me. i have exercised this month but no way am I even close to you..my daughter teaches yoga but she moved 10 hours away so I can’t go to her classes anymore.. 🙁

Okay, can someone please explain this Gilmore Girls phenom to me? I must be one of a handful of people who’ve never seen this show before. So it’s a remake? A continuation of the story?? Or they just aired all of the episodes all over again!?
Anyway, thanks always for sharing this behind-the-scenes workout inspo. Seriously, you always inspire me here… and I imagine you’ll be an excellent yoga teacher! That’s incredible 🙂

I love how you hold yourself accountable by posting your miles and hours logged. That’s awesome! I am motivated just by reading it. I really need to do more yoga.

I love the idea of tracking my mileage for my runs! After a indulgent Thanksgiving, I have been really committed to working out this week. I also have a plan to do a half marathon in March, so I have been running a bit more. I need to keep track of what I do to see how far I’ve come. Thanks for the motivation!!
Sounds like a good month of workouts! I’ve slacked a bit, but that’s mostly due to third trimester pregnancy exhaustion. I cannot wait to be cleared for exercise postpartum and get in some tough workouts! I miss it so much!!

You should definitely do the teacher training I bet you’d be a great instructor. I had a family friend go through it and loved it–it is crazy how pricey it is though!
