Cooking, Health, and Yoga

May 04, 2009 10:34

This weekend I did a lot of cooking.  I spent most of Saturday afternoon cooking various dishes for Tim and me.  I had some recipes for traditional Thanksgiving food, sweet potato-pineapple casserole and pumpkins cake that I made.  It is kind of odd to make them if you label them as Thanksgiving food.  I eat sweet potatoes all the time and I just need a way of mixing them up.  Tim loves all things pumpkin, so it was natural to make it for him.

Weirdly, I am on a health kick while eating tons of sweets.  I’ve had birthday cake, apple pie, and homemade pumpkin cake while I’ve been regularly doing yoga and lifting weights.  Contrary or working against each other, I am really going to need to cut out the desserts if I want to get into good beach shape.  Though, I have a boyfriend and don’t need to worry about such things in general.  Acting requires you to be attractive and I am more plain than attractive, having a good body is definitely an asset.  A director of a recent show wanted to get a young guy a part in his production.  I saw this boy at call backs and he was adorable, but couldn’t act or sing.  If he had been talented in any way he would have been cast.  That is the power of looks my friends.

I love yoga by the way.  Sometimes, it is hard to start, to take the time to do it.  After starting, it really feels good and sometimes strenuous and most of the time worth it.  Sitting at a computer all day 40 hours a week is boring and bad for the body, thank goodness for Yoga helping me to stand it.  It used to be running, but I always hated running.  It was something I had to do to stay sane.  Now I feeling I go home and pray while exercising.
