It's good and good for you...

Recently, I have been wanting to be more health conscious because I'm slowly on my way to gaining that freshmen fifteen. Yikes! To accomplish this, I've been watching what I've been eating (somewhat) and working out (not a lot, but more than I have been). I heard if you totally eliminate sweets and junk food from your diet that it helps out A LOT. I'm trying to do that, but my sweet tooth is more like a sweet grill (you know like the rappers wear) except that it's permanently stuck in my mouth, so I guess that would be called sweet teeth. Whatever I think you get the point. ANYWAYS...

I'm also sort of stressed out with school. And thinking about working out and eating right stresses me out too because when I'm stressed, all I want to do is eat junk food. So I was hoping I could find a solution to my stress/working out/eating problem. I was thinking maybe pilates or yoga. I mean the the breathing exercises that go along with these workouts seem to be rather relaxing. Even the music is soothing. And while you're "relaxing", you're also getting fit. I never understood how yoga or pilates could be such a good work out, but people say it works. So I figure I may give it a try. My only concern is that I don't think I will have the patience for it. Hopefully by relaxing, it will give me patience for everything, including eating right! Everything comes together now! woot! anyways I was just wondering if any of you have tried yoga or pilates and if it has worked for you.
