I’m back

Well I wrote a whole long post and it disappeared come on WordPress your killing me 😠.

Moving on here is the recaps you guys missed during my disappearance. 

1. My lady and I broke up for 2 weeks due to somethings that came to light that happened early in our relationship. It caused alot of hurt and distrust for me. And I took 2 weeks alone to get to the place where we needed to be to fix this between us. Almost 6 years together isn’t something you can throw away. She had been my biggest cheerleader and so supportive of my decisions.

2. I graduated!! I went back to tn for my graduation last weekend and had so much fun taking classes, going out with my girls and graduating. It made me miss my community so much though. My yoga family has been through a lot with me and it’s completely insulating without one here.

Size medium baby 😉

Hugs from my gurus

My sanskit name

I did it!

Graduation headstands!

Me and my yogini Gen. Who I would call super yogi. Turns out she thought that same way about me. I love her.

3. I have been a hot mess eating wise due to my home situation. Which I haven’t brought up on the page on Facebook. Being with my family living wise has become very stressful and super depressing to me. I miss my life in tn. I’m in the works of creating new opportunities for myself in order to heal my broken spirit.

4. I have 4 months till my weight loss journey has been a year. I need to lose my last 27lbs and few inches. Before November 9th. I have lost 90 lbs and 15 inches so far. I know I just have to push more, eat cleaner and no more excuses with this.

Me in size 10 jeans now!

I love all of you that read my rambling of a yogini. Till next time and I promise to be more often. 😄

Raja graduation

There are no words to describe how excited I was to go to the graduation today. To see my yoga friends become full fledge yoga teachers was nothing short of a spiritual experience. There was so much love in the room, that I felt near tears. They all worked so hard and they deserved every moment of last night.

Also the first time my yoga family saw me in real clothes before. I wanted to look my best and I ended up buying a dress and some ariel (the little mermaid tights) to go with the at hot topic. It was the first time I could actually fit something in there in 4 years. Of course in the dressing room I became emotional realizing that I was in a large in a regular store. Everyone said. I looked amazing. What do you guys think?

After the graduation we got invited to dinner with one of my teachers and her husband. It was tons of laughter at our table and it was a pretty good all around night. On the way home I told my lady tonight’s graduation was so special. She said you know the next one we go to will be yours? I said I know. Just thinking about me doing the apprenticeship and becoming officially one of the family is the most amazing feeling in the world. Words can’t describe how I feel about my yoga family but the one thing I can say is that we will be family for life.

Also want to mention that I make the most amazing paleo cupcakes last night for this event. It was a huge hit. Everyone could not stop talking about them 🙂

Sunflower mini paleo cupcakes
2 cups of sunflower seeds (without the shells of course)
2 Tsp of sunbutter (sunflower butter)
3 frozen bananas
1/2 Tsp of coconut oil
350 in the oven for 25 mins
And that’s all guys

The chocolate icing
3/4 cup of raw coco power
1/2 cup of coconut oil
3/4 cup of raw honey
1tsp of coconut milk
Mix with a beater and ice. It looks a little runny when you put it on let it set for 20 mins on the cupcake and it will have a icing feel to it.
And I just put frozen strawberry pieces on top for a pop of color but it’s not necessary to the recipe.
