Yoga - the spiritual and healthy way to life
Hey bloggers ! Today I am going to teach you how to use the skills of yoga not just for a workout, but also as a spirtiual being. May of us use yoga as a workout routine to keep our body flexible and tone, but did you know that yoga is also a way to clear our minds from stressful situations. When I was in college, I took a yoga class at first I took the class as an easy grade but I came to realize that the class was giving me a peace at mind through the day. Yoga would relax me and give me a peace at heart that made my anxiety levels lower. There was a time in my life that I would go home drink excessively and that made me feel better. In 2012, I began to do yoga at home and when doing yoga at home right before I went to work , I realized that there was nothing to ruin my day. I would work out for 45 minutes, and then 15 minutes of yoga to relax my mind, body, and soul.

getting fit and staying fit in the winter
Hey bloggers I know you missed me well your girl is back! I took a long break and between writing for M3Glam.com, my instagram page #keepingfitwithcami, and of course working out. Everyday I try to post pictures and work outs that you can do to stay fit and healthy.
Well today bloggers I am here to talk to you about the one issue that we have with keeping fit especially those who live on the east coast; staying fit in the winter. Yes! this is the hardest thing that we can do especially those who live in new York. I have had many people especially WOMEN come to me and say how you do this, how you do that, what should I eat and then run to other people who are nutritionist or even trainers telling them what to do and what they do is over do things, at like they been doing it all along and then when the going get tough fall apart eat more and appear heavier then when they started. I always let my friends know am not a nutritionist or a trainer so if you feel that you need to get fit go to a professional.
The way I lost weight was that I started in the winter and worked my way through all the seasons. I didn't need a trainer because I was a athlete in high school and in college I was a fitness freak. So I told myself that I needed to get myself back to the 23 year old Cami that I was. I spoke to my doctor, Dr. Lee regarding my weight and a few things that I should do. In October 2012, I started going to the gym, because even though I was eating differently the weight wasn't shedding as fast as I wanted. My doctor mention that she was going to planet fitness and that I should get a membership and that the membership was in my budget. In a matter of a month I lost 10 pounds and I noticed the way my clothes will fit, after 6 month I dropped 10 more pounds, and now a year later after being in the gym I went from 197 to 165 and I am happy !
I always encourage people to do good, and better for themselves. I know in the winter it is a struggle because it is holiday season back to back and worst the most festive holidays. In September San Gennaro Italian festival which leads into Columbus day and if you are a culture head like me you attend all these things and eat, drink, and enjoy culture. As if your a fan of football like myself you will watch, eat, and drink beer. In October there is Oktober fest which is about germen culture which also includes food and beer, Halloween which we all love candy. In November, of course Thanksgiving and yes December Christmas! In those months, I learned to drink, eat, and party different because this diva is a February baby meaning my birthday is six months away, and I need to be fit because my birthday I always go away. My suggestion to friends is always to create a goal of how you want to look, the pounds you want to lose, and the time frame. Like myself even tough I am 165, I still want to be fit and look good so my goal now is to create abdominal core and get my butt to look right for my birthday trip to Dominican Republic.
I am a firm believer in hard work and dedication and that was always stemmed in me as a child. We as woman envy bodies that sometimes are photo shopped or that are just not real! It sad but because to many females run out here to get work done I was questioned if my butt was real and I had to tell the guy yes that it was, and that it runs in my family. But just to say that take your time and get your mind right first before considering any other factors.
Remember, To be fit is to be happy
To be happy is to be strong
To be strong is to be you
