I feel really damn good today

I cooked homegrown rhubarb today. It smelled SO GOOD!
I just ate some with strawberries and a shit-tonne of freshly ground flax seed.
It was almost like flour. I liked it.
Yay for sour! Yay for flax seed!
Happy happy!

I feel pretty good today. My stomach muscles are killing me. This is a good thing. I've been doing yoga every morning since the day after I got my tattoo (with a handful of exceptions), and yesterday, I rediscovered a pose that really works the abdomen: plank pose. It's technically a transition pose, so it doesn't have an official Sanskrit name, but yowza does it ever do what it needs to do. I did it again this morning because I am a glutton for punishment and because I really want to develop my abs. I feel like my ribs are bruised. Glee! :D

My other favourite asana is Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose). This reminds me that I have muscles in my back. I've done it on three different days, and I'm already finding it not so difficult -- my back muscles haven't been worked since Thanksgiving when I went canoeing, and then not REALLY worked since I was kayaking regularly, and that was about 6 years ago.

I finally made it to the front page of BME! (Under Recently Recommended, May 17, "Questing...")

yoga, food, bme
