First post of the New Year!!!!

I've been off work for the past week and have been lounging around my place, hanging out with family and friends, eating pasta and pizza nearly every day, and going at my own pace (which can be very lackadaisical).

I'll be re-joining the work world tomorrow as my company reopens from the Holiday Break.  I'm looking forward to honing myself professionally in the upcoming year and seeing what opportunities wait for me!!!

I'm looking forward to a year of physical fitness and achieving more of my personal goals in regards to my health.  This blog is certainly one of those goals, but I'm also an avid runner and haven't run a full Marathon since 2012 or a half-marathon since 2016; it's time to break that trend!!! lol

Those are my simple goals for 2017.  Nothing too insane or unreachable.

I'm going to be following my standard primary series this morning after a quick shower and a warm up on my mat.

Sweat like an absolute monster this morning and don't quite know why.  I indulged in food, booze, and even snuck a few cigarettes into the mix on NYE, so this might have been my body realizing its opportunity to purge some junk out of me. lol

Feeling like a million bucks this morning and, even though it's dreary an rainy outside, I'm looking forward to a great day.

Namaste

Monday, February 13 2017 Groggily woke at 5:00am this morning.  I've had coffee and I'm on my mat but may not do a physical practice this morning. Monday, February 13 2017 (Part II) Did prayer/meditation on my mat and went through my standard warm-up routine.  That's all I have in me.  I'm going to move through my day slowly and with care and come home to crash in my bed.

Re-Building + Persistence

Tuesday, January 23, 2018 Re-building a routine is hard. I woke at my usual 5:00AM this morning and did not want to get out of my bed. I'm on my mat as I write this, however, and will be beginning my practice shortly.  I've found that, like most habit changes, the 3rd day "hump" is usually the most difficult; get past that, and you're golden. Tuesday, January 23, 2018 (Part II) I'm writing this on my mat, having just come out of Savasana. As always when we push ourselves through something we don't want to do, it feels good when it's done and over with.  I'm feeling wonderful, connected, and ready to address the challenges the day might throw at me.

Asana

Monday, March 30, 2020 After no physical practice/Asanas on Friday, and no yoga over the weekend, I notice that it's difficult to stay motivated and dedicated to my practice at times.  Additionally, I ran a solo-10K this weekend (the St. Louis GO! Marathon/Half-Marthon/10K was cancelled, like most public events), and the additional tenderness in my feet, legs, etc. definitely told me not to get on my mat. Monday blues/malaise, essentially.....a "negative mind"... When I'm on my mat, feeling like it's pointless, and that the day ahead is pointless, and that the efforts I'll expend to make things better are pointless, I can go back to the foundations of my life.  First, what do I live for?  I live for God.  That is my attempted mantra every day. It is not for me/you to understand the purpose of anything.  Pulling yourself out of an equation is very liberating in that you're no longer attached to the result. It's 5:27AM as I type this, and it...
