September is National Yoga Month. And I did something that I haven't done since the world locked down: I joined a yoga studio and I practiced yoga IRL with people. And it felt amazing!

There is something so wonderful about practicing in a studio where you can be adjusted and feel the energy of everyone practicing in the room. 

Yoga is so much more than the asana - the physical practice of yoga. I did my yoga teacher training (YTT) early in my sobriety. I was already on a spiritual journey in recovery, and the YTT took my spirituality to another level.

During YTT, we had to practice yoga (asana) daily, the trainer recommended we follow a vegan or vegetarian diet (to practice ahimsa, non-violence) - I talk more about this in my podcast interview on Yoga is Vegan, and we had to study the Bhagavad-gita (in super simple layman's terms this is similar to a Bible or Quran), the Yoga Sutras which is all about the mind, anatomy, learn yoga postures, and so much more. 

In all...

We had an eventful week together last week, so if you missed any of our lives, make sure to go back and check them out. We had so much fun, and we are ready for more fun again this week!

12:00 PM...

Ok, this blog is being posted a little late, but like the saying goes, better late than never, right?!!

And there's no time like the present, so it's time for me to proclaim my goals for September! I've got 4 main goals I want to work with this month, so let's get this party started.

Circadian-ish living.

I want my eating window to be 8 AM - 8 PM, which means I will be fasting for at least 12 hours every day. This may seem like nothing, but I always seem to snack on something around 9 or 9:30 PM.   It's time for me to kick that habit.

I also want to get outside first thing in the morning and get some morning sun on my body to kick start my hormones and wake my body up at the cellular level.

Move my body every day.

I've been working out most every day for the past little while. It feels good. I'd like more of my workouts to be done outside, so I will put outdoor workouts into my weekly calendar. Mornings are the best time for me to workout, but literally yesterday was crazy and...

And just like that [insert finger snap], August is coming to a close.   We encourage you to start thinking of your goals for the month of September. You'll have to come back to our blog to hear our goals! Or maybe we will talk about them on Goal Call Monday....hmmmm.....

With that being said, let's dive into our Live Schedule for the week!

Maui is one of my favorite islands to visit in Hawaii, and there are so many fabulous activities that you can do sober! So here are some of my absolute favorites, in no particular order.

Sober Fun in Maui

1. Watch the sunrise over Haleakala. I swear it looks like pictures I've seen of the Moon up here! You have to get up super early to do this. Ask the concierge (or check on your smartphone) the time of the sunrise and how long it will take to get to Haleakala from where you are staying. You will need to take warm clothing (we took blankets and comforters from our hotel room) for this adventure because it's cold up there! I recommend doing this toward the beginning of your trip, when you're still adjusting to the time change because you will have an early wake-up call. I think we had to be up at 2 or 3 AM local. Reservations are now required, so make sure to book this soon too!
2. Mama's Fish House is a little expensive, but it's worth every penny! You need to make...
