Yeah, yoga class was not helpful yesterday…not because of yoga…(how could it be!!!) but because my focus and tranquility was crashed…again…during class and now I am going to have to complain…again… People should not be allowed to cut through an ongoing yoga class to get mats!!! They just shouldn’t!!! Grrr!!! Anyway, not going to get started on that again…I have finally made it back to my happy place…sort of… :) PMS is rearing it’s ugly head…sigh…
My new meditation beads are fabulous…beautiful…gorgeous…and life saving! No really….hehehe I bought them from Shakya Design after I gave my other ones to my Dad when I was home… I have been learning meditation and these beads have given me the breakthrough that I have been waiting for…they allow me to actually focus on my breath more easily and trigger that “relaxation response” that I have read so much about but wondered if it actually existed! All I know is that I sat down with them yesterday and when I got up I was able to talk to people without growling! lol
It didn’t really help matters that I dorked around too long getting the groceries and got caught in rush hour traffic yesterday as well…DOH!! Ah well…it is Saturday…I am drinking my coffee, the sun is shining and the doves are cooing…how bad could it be?
My weigh in was 163.5 this morning which was technically a pd gain from my last one but I have been on vacation and off my workouts for about a month…and only back to it for one week…so 1 pd for all the time off and eating I did…yeah…worth it…now I am refreshed and re focused and ready to go… I have a good start…my junk food cravings have eased…I have five days of workouts under my belt…my mood is good and I am doing all the things that I know that I need to do to function well (instead of just knowing what they are and not really doing them…)
Very nice, very nice indeed.
June 15, 2008 @ 10:00 amI have wanted to purchase beads for myself and for my sister, and you’ve just reminded me. Actually the ones I’m looking for are the Anglican version of the Rosary, but I think they’d have a similar purpose and affect.
Good that you’re remaining refreshed and focused. Yay you!

I love this post! My whole Yoga experience was ridiculous. I was so paranoid about my fat roll that I couldn’t concentrate. You know all those skinny, peaceful witches walk-in and it throws me off! I hated when people walked across to get the mats too!! Rude, rude, rude. Thanks for reading my post. Namaste….I mean, peace out!!!!!!!!!!!
