Hi I'm Carina.

Hi I'm Carina! I'm married to Josh who is cousins with Heather, Corries, Brian (married to Shannon), and well about everybody else on this site. I certainly could stand to lose 10 pounds, but probably more important to me is feeling really healthy and (I know this sounds weird) relaxed. I'm a bit of a workaholic...

So I'm about where Shannon is now 138, but I really only would like to be 130. I think 8 lbs is reasonable for me:). You go Shannon for trying for 120 lb!

I started a night yoga video at night 2 months ago. It's only 20 minutes before I go to bed and it is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I don't have the same back pain (although I am sitting in front of the computer just as much as before) and I feel better. I also started doing a 20 minute 80s Denise Austin video called Super Stomachs I got 8 years ago. For me, I know the key is small amounts of time to exercise and a certain time a day (yoga before bed at 10:30 pm and Super Stomachs at 8pm when Siri goes to bed- or sometimes she does it with me lol). If I try to plan to do a 1 hour video things always get messed up and I get really discouraged.

Love this blog! Hope it motivates me!
