My friend and I are doing this: 21-Day Yoga Challenge .
I'm looking forward to some increased flexibility, and maybe some increased strength/support for my lower back.
I haven't been exercising in the months since surgery. We bought a treadmill, I got Zumba for my Wii for Christmas. . . and I just haven't made myself do it. I've never been someone who enjoys exercise for exercise sake-- I was an athlete in high school and college and exercise obviously was a part of that but once my team sports ended, I wasn't interested. Even when I'm more fit, I have to force myself to do it, and I just don't ever believe I'll be someone who *likes* it or looks forward to it. But the friend that I'm doing this with is super fit and she's just the right person to "challenge" me. I'm actually really going to do it and you all are free to join us!
Well look at you! I have wondered what you looked like and lo and behold I get a comment from Lyla and it is you!! Nice to see you!

now I am actually reading the blog post--I have never tried yoga..might be a good thing to do during this stinky winter with no exercise for me.

Thanks for your feedback Lyla on your current state of feeling restriction. That helps me a lot. I think what I need to do is think about whether I'm full or not. That's what I'm missing. I'm full - meaning no longer hungry - but not feeling full like I"m used to feeling full. Full like I don't/can't eat anymore. I need to stop and really consider am I able to truly feel 'full' on less food? I'm sure I am but I'm eating past it. I need to really observe myself objectively and get a hold of this! :) I will and I'll learn and I"ll get this down!
ReplyDeleteTell us more about the Yoga challenge - I'm thinking about joining as I've wanted to do Yoga again for some time now. I've done it before a long time ago - long enough to not remember any of the poses!
I'm so bad at bending! LOL. Seriously I tried Pilates once and it just wasn't for me. I find that I'm not one who LOVES exercise either but I it's easier to stay motivated if I have a challenge. Good luck!
