Insanity!
I did one of the insanity videos this morning (boy those kick my butt) and they start and end with about 15 minutes of yoga stretches. That is my yoga for today unless I’m feeling particularly inspired this evening. Hope everyone else is feeling good today!

Day 33: Detailed account of a binge you remember having. Try analyzing your feelings before and after it happened.
[[MORE]]
So I remember having a really rough day at school (I’m a teacher) and on the way home I thought I’d stop off at our local video store and grab a snack. After all, I deserved it for surviving such a rough day. I demolished the snack before I even got home so I...

Thursday (Morning) Yoga
Started off the day on the right (then left) foot doing some sun salutations. Here is a photo:
(sorry this is not a quality picture…I never claimed to be a photographer!)
So the reason I posted this picture is because when I started doing yoga on a more regular basis in January, I couldn’t touch my toes. This picture is of me in a forward bend with my fingers almost all the way on...

Wednesday Night Yoga
Worked on my headstands today…will try to post a picture tomorrow. I’m not very good with my headstands at all so it is something where I have to really appreciate the process and not just the result. Easier said than done!
I’m loving this yoga every day thing…it makes me feel so much more in tune or relaxed or something that I can’t quite put my finger on. I will...

Day 32: Do you strength train/lift weights at all? (YOU SHOULD!)
I do! I don’t have access to a gym or even free weights where I’m living right now so I’ve been using the body weight exercises from Mark Lauren’s “You Are Your Own Gym”. I’m definitely seeing improvements in my strength and it feels AWESOME.

Tuesday Yoga
I only squeezed in 20 minutes today but it was full of wonderful twists that made my back feel brand new. I was going to post a picture of myself doing yoga today but I occasionally often do yoga in my undies. I’m not sure I want to subject you all to that just yet. So until then, here is a picture of my lovely yoga mat; I found it (used) when I moved here and I’ll be leaving it behind...

Day 31: Who in your life makes you really happy?
My best friends and my family. It’s impossible to choose. Ever since moving away from home, just seeing their faces is enough to make my entire week.

Monday Yoga
Continuing on with the challenge of yoga every day this week, I did a relaxing evening sequence tonight. I wasn’t feeling all that well but one thing I love about yoga is that there is a practice for every mood. If I want to be moving fast I can really get into a vinyasa flow. Other times I want to build strength and test my limits staying in poses. And then there are nights like tonight...

Sunday Yoga!
So I decided to take on a challenge posed by the lovely Riia and get my yoga on every day for a week. But I live in this tiny far away place called Micronesia where the time zones are very different. So I am going to post about my Sunday yoga today (it’s monday night here now) and my monday yoga in a few hours.
So the yoga: I did a hip opening sequence which I needed so much after a long...

It gets easier with every passing day and the cravings get less and less. I don’t want to be back at the beginning again.
I feel STRONG when I don’t...

Day 29: What is the best compliment you have received/can remember?
In high school I played field hockey and ran track and my coaches got together and nominated me for a “Women in Sports” award. It was based on the fact that I showed up every day with a good attitude, worked really hard, and had a positive effect on those around me. It meant the world to me to be represented in that...
