Good morning,
Yoga Shakti, Solar Flow 2, is done....to the best of my abilities. The only way I'll ever get to the point of doing her stuff unmodified is by doing it daily, and making it the core of my fitness program. Since that's not going to happen, I'll just accept where I am.
TraciX - how do you intend to do just 20-30 mins of yoga a day? What I mean is, most yoga dvds are at least 60 mins long. Are you going to just pick short segments from the longer workouts? I'm thinking that to get better at Shiva's yoga, I should pick one of the more complicated segments each day and practice it alone at the end of my workouts. That way I'll get a bit of extra stretching, and maybe even see some improvement with her flows. We have another cd full of pictures that I haven't even looked at yet. If a nice picture of me is on there, I'll upload it. Your workout today looks like a good one! Enjoy!!
Amy - Thanks for clarifying the "cleaning house" bit! I thought the same thing as TraciX at first, but then you sounded so unconcerned in the rest of your post that I figured your job wasn't on the line. Wow, that was quick loss! That should help to motivate you along. Less than 30 pounds to go now! If you get a chance, I'd love to read a typical day's menu.
TracyX - I hope Plan B is enjoyable. Brunch is always scrumptious :9 The Paint Fairy did indeed arrive last night. When I went down to the basement to do my yoga this morning at 6am, I was greeted by an almost fully-painted 3-tone room. It looks really, really nice. DH is going to give it all another coat this afternoon. I don't spend very much time fancy-ing up my girls' hair. It takes only a couple seconds to put in ponytails. For special occasions I'll do french braids in Paris's hair, but that's not very often.
DebraX - The willPower and Grace workout description is very intriguing. How are you feeling today? Always pictured me looking like Angelina? Bless you, dear heart. I always picture you looking like Eva Longoria.
My bug is on its way out. I got to bed by 9pm, with a headache well under way, and was up at 5:30am with a refreshed brain and renewed enthusiasm. Given how horrendously sick my friend got from this bug, I think I'll let myself believe that all my clean eating is indeed keeping my immune system working well.
Now that my yoga is done, I'm going to have a lovely bath, then DD#1 and I are going on a picnic with DD's friend and the friend's mother, who live down the street. We're going to pack a basket and wander around the neighbourhood walking paths and through the parks until we find a nice spot to eat.
Have a good day,
SandraX
