1. Yoga! I've recently started doing yoga at Savannah Power Yoga. Most classes are heated to around 90 degrees. It's been tough! I haven't done yoga in a while. I've never done heated yoga. I've never done power yoga. Basically, you're flowing the whole time and don't hold poses static like I'm used to. I usually go to one of those classes a week, and one gentle class (non-heated and less intense). I plan on going to meditation on Sunday as well. This has been absolutely amazing for me the past couple weeks. I've been super super stressed with school, but once I leave yoga I'm stress free and in a good mood, at least for the rest of the day. I've also actually noticed progress in just a couple weeks, especially with balancing poses, so I'm really excited about that!
2. Avocados. I just recently tried avocados, and decided that I really actually like them! I don't like them plain, I will say that, because of the texture. But I love putting them in all sorts of things, even with chicken mac & cheese the other night. My boyfriend thought I was weird for that. Oh well! I feel like the flavor isn't too overwhelming, and I like getting in the healthy fats I know they have =)
3. Disney. I've been super into Disney lately, gearing up for Tower of Terror a week from tomorrow. I'm preeeeetty sure my boyfriend thinks he's dating a child, but it's ok because he loves me and puts up with it ;) I just really like Disney! haha. So maybe I am a bit of a child at heart, but it'll keep me from getting old too fast!
4. SparklySoul headbands. I have a few now (5 I think?) and I try to wear them every day. They're just so amazing and the first headbands I found that honestly don't slip. I have so many layers in my hair and bangs that like to sneak out when my hair is up, because I usually don't have time to actually put it up with bobby pins and care. But SparklySoul keeps all the loose hairs and wispies out of my face through school, yoga, running, anything really! They're great! And they sparkle!
5. Life! I know this is so so cheesy. And probably because I just had yoga like an hour ago. But I've been learning to enjoy the good parts of life more. Sure, some of my classes at school suck and I'm literally failing one...which has never happened in my life. But I'm learning to look past the bad, and just try to do better going forward.

Updates and Reviews
Hi everyone! I know I've been slacking lately, but it's been finals week after 5/10 extremely stressful weeks of classes, but I now have off until August 12th, so that's exciting!
With my EnergyBits giveaway, Ben J. won! So hopefully he'll be enjoying his bits soon. Congratulations Ben!
I was also on a cleanse for about a week, so I took off from running because I didn't have very much energy to do much of anything. I know starving yourself isn't the right way to go about weight loss, don't worry! I'm well educated. But I had a weigh-in with my parents who essentially pay me to lose weight. I know, it sounds weird, but they know with school and all I need some type of incentive to keep losing weight until I'm back to a 'healthy' one. I've been completely off track this past week since weighing in, but I'm hoping to get back on track. I'm staying at my parents' house to take care of their dog for the next week or so as they're on vacation, so hopefully with no school work and a big kitchen to work in, I'll be able to do well.
I've tried a couple of things from my StrideBox. First, I had the Gu-Brew TriBerry flavor. It had the same effect on me as Nuun, I think. It was a bit of a tart flavor, but that made it refreshing when it was nice and cold through a work-out. I also tried the Bearded Brother's energy bar, and it was ... interesting. It's quite a heavy bar, but not in a bad way. It was alright, but there was something off about the taste to me. I think it was just the dates in it, since those were the main ingredients, but just not quite my thing. If I liked dates, I think I would have really enjoyed this!
I'm looking forward to getting back into my training and healthy eating, especially since there's hardly any time left before Tower of Terror!
Any tips to get back into things?
