You Are What You Eat

Wednesday, October 28, 2020 Part I,

I will always be torn between hour+ runs, deep/athletic yoga practices and my natural inclination towards junk food.  If I had a weakness, it's that.  I usually eat properly, and balanced throughout the week, and do whatever I want on the weekends.  Sometimes, that weekend "extends" itself a little bit into the weekday; as it has this week.  

Food is meant to be enjoyed, so I regret nothing, but I'll say that, for someone with sensitive digestion, I quickly become aware that my diet has gone off the rails.  Pair that with a neglected yoga practice, and you get that awful feeling of shame, and laziness paired with guilt. 

Enough chit chat, time to begin. 

Wednesday, October 28, 2020 (Part II), 

Let's see if I can practice what I preach, and keep the momentum going to hit my mat tomorrow and Friday, to round out the week. 

Got flung off my normal routine over the weekend, and stayed up to an eye-watering 1:00am on Saturday night (I'm usually all about that wine-dine-in-bed-by-nine life).  Pair that we, what feels like weeks, or less than balanced diet choices, and I'll say that my practice this morning was good as could be expected, and much needed. 

More tomorrow. 

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...
