I didn’t want to do it, but after learning of my pregnancy, I thought it best to take an indefinite break from my beloved Bikram yoga. My last practice was February 9th, the day before my 30th birthday, since I purposely wanted to end my twenties with quality time in the hot room. Looking back,…

Body Image: Revisited
I’ve talked about body image somewhat recently, but after this past weekend, I realize I have a long way to go when it comes to truly accepting and loving my own body. Apart from maybe Jennifer Lawrence (who, according to this opinion, may be inadvertently “body-shaming” through her unapologetic attitude regarding food, Hollywood, and her own…
An Update On My Bikram Practice
Hello there! Now that I finally posted the Miele spaghetti and meatballs recipe for you all, I realize my fitness conversation has been lacking, too. This is possibly due to my increased consumption of beer and television, but more likely due to my general apathy toward exercise, except for my beloved yoga. (Oh, and my…
Progress at Bikram
Today I realized how little fitness talk I’ve shared around these parts. Yes, foodiEcology is primarily a food blog (it’s in the name—hello?), but blogging is also a way to hold myself accountable to a fitness routine. I’ve met a couple of my exercise-related goals on my 30 Before 30 list (trying a yoga class…
Fitness Friday: Yoga + Haiku?
‘Twas a really long and slow day yesterday, so to pass the time, I (naturally) wrote a series of haiku expressing my undying love of Bikram yoga. 🙂 It’s hot like Hades! Just what was I thinking of, trying out Bikram? Amazing—not dead! Do girls really sweat this much? Must drink water now! Day two—not…
You Are What You Eat {WIAW}
If you don’t believe that our daily food choices directly impact how we feel—especially during physical activity—then I have some news for you. You’re wrong! After a weekend of indulgences (beer, wine, froyo, ice cream, a frappucino, hotdogs, a hamburger, gooey macaroni and cheese, and a couple of salads for good measure) and 3.5-hour car…
Might as well face it, you’re addicted…to yoga
Tomorrow, I will have completed my 30-day “introduction” to Bikram yoga. Now, more than ever, I’m 100% positive I want to stick with it. There’s just something magical about the hot room. Some people have church…or music…or art…and I now have yoga. [source] Though I’m nowhere near where I want to be, I can already…
What I Ate…Before a 4-Day Weekend
Today is a combination of both my favorite days: Wednesday and Friday. Mark and I took off work tomorrow and Friday in order to visit the in-laws and help them move into their new house. I’m super excited to get away, but since we’re not going to be home a few days, my What I…
Yoga + Sunshine = Marvelous!
Happy Monday! This weekend was full of relaxation and good food—but like most weekends, it went by much too quickly! My Saturday began bright and early with an 8:00 Bikram yoga session. I think it’s safe to say that I’m obsessed at this point, but having spent 90 minutes balancing and centering myself all before…
Surviving the Torture Chamber
A little scared of this post’s title? You should be. As of Monday night, I’ve survived 2 Bikram yoga classes! Oh. My. God. I knew it was going to be intense, but I had no idea I would leave feeling as if I’d been mugged, beaten, run-over, and dragged down the street…and ready to do…
