Tawni's Blog (8)

While in Sedona for the Raw Spirit Fest of 2008, I went thru great shifts in my being. I found myself needing much less sleep than usual, which generally happens to me when I go visit high energy places. The energy was a transformative energy. That is what 8 stands for. Transformation, Infinity eternally Transforming, as well as prosperity...whatever type of abundance that flows within you. I found that when I danced to some Shimshai, I was absolutely floored with transformative LOVE. <3 I… Continue

I just finished a 3 day juice feast. This was the longest for me so far. I had only done a 1 day before this. I decided to end my juice feast the evening of the 3rd day, today. I feel really good! But...I understand something a little more than I didn before. Its a little hard to explain, but here goes. I first had a small salad, which I took my time eating. Every bite was so delicious. I savored every minute. After that, I decided I wanted dessert. I had a green smoothie with cacao...my favor… Continue

Ok...forgot to mention that I won 2nd place in Jump Rope for sure, and 3rd place for Leg Press. I'm happy with that! Continue

Hello, I am a little late posting this, but last night I did the jump rope competition, and I made 2nd place. I did it for 1 minute and 12 seconds. I could have gone longer, but, the rope tripped up. I was really prepared to keep jumpin' along! I think I did well though. My diet was really simple and pure, and I had been having a lot of green smoothies with small meals of fresh fruits and veggies in between. Continue

Tonight I did the leg press, and I only did 40 reps. I was a little dehydrated...I had only taken one small bottle of water with me before I taught yoga at 5:45...and the leg press was at 7:30. Not enough water. If I had been hydrated, I think I could have done 60. I think I did well though. My legs feel great! (And I'm drinking plenty of water.) Continue

I did sit ups last night. I did 104. My abs feel rock hard today. Yeah! I have felt SO good today, it has been amazing. Lots of energy. I did eat some ezekiel bread this morning though, but I feel good. Anyways, as I was nearing the end, I was literally pulling my head up as hard as I could, and at almost 105, I felt gravity take hold. Wow. I had to quit. I had an amazing energy rush, and when I stood up finally, I couldn't feel my legs! It was so funny, I felt like I was walking on the moon.… Continue

Okay, so I did it...I went to Gold's Gym at approximately 6:15 and did the Push Ups Competition! Now, don't laugh, but I only did 29. You know what though? I'm pretty darn happy with that. For someone who JUST signed up and JUST started training and practicing push ups a few days ago, I think I did pretty good. I could have done better, because they said I could take a 3 second break, but I did them one after the other with NO breaks. I was SO nervous. I felt like everyone was staring at me.… Continue

Today is a beautiful day. I just got back from the gym, where I spent 2 hours really taking my time, and tuning in to my body. First I stretched and did some yoga, then did 15 mins of cardio, then weight training, and then 10 more mins of cardio. It felt amazing. I signed up for the Gold's Gym Games (where I work out) and decided to try the push ups, sit ups, jump rope, and leg press. This all starts next week. I have never competed for any thing in my life. I am 27, and I feel better than I ev… Continue
