So I haven't written anything because nothing has really changed. I have managed to get back to 181 range, but haven't been dedicated to my exercise regime. Until Weds. night. One of the things I have talked about for a long time is to start taking Yoga. One idea which came to me is to get taster tickets from a couple of different studios. So on Weds night - Solstice - a friend of mine was teaching yoga to live music with the intention of doing a clearing and setting positive intentions for the coming year. The class was $22, a weeks taster pass was $30. While I am not a financial wiz, I can do basic math. So I bought a pass.
Day two - I HURT! But it's good. Already I have made some really important discoveries for myself. The two sides of my body are defiantly out of sync. The left is much stronger and more flexible. Which makes a certain amount of sense - the left is the artistic and feminine side. And that, for the most part, I have down. The analytical side, not as much. Although I have been working on that. Not, since that side isn't physically as strong and has defiantly been dealt some injuries, I think the metaphor is about loosening up - YOGA - and working on core strength. But also, letting go. There is a lot of tension in that side of my body. May be a lice Psycho - synthesis journey with a Gestalt to figure out how to integrate these two parts of me or at least get them into better alignment.
meanwhile,i am quiet content with weighing in at 181 a couple oof mornings in a row. Not to mention this mornings feeling of being much more centered. Whether that was the result of Yoga or the steak and eggs I had afterwords, who knows! But either way, I'll take it!
