40 days of yoga...day 2

So, I signed up for a workshop, 40 Days of Yoga based on Baron Baptiste's book 40 Days to Personal Evolution, at my gym. I am already doing yoga on Mondays and Fusion (a pilates, yoga and ballet combo) on Wednesdays...but I wanted to kick it up a notch for the new year. So, yesterday I went to the first meeting. We reviewed the first week...the 20 minutes a day of yoga practice, the diet...well being more conscious about what we are eating and how it makes us feel, and the meditation, my scariest part of this. So...today I woke up and did my 20 minutes of yoga, made notes about my food...and now I am thinking about my meditation. I need to do 5 minutes. I may use my blog to write about how this is making me feel and my struggles. I know that it will be interesting!

On the weight watchers front...I lost .2 this week! Not a lot, but still a loss. This weekend was a bad weekend for me...brownies, wine, pizza (veggie, but still), but starting Monday I decided that this week would be a good week. I have planned my meals...we have a London broil we are eating this week with salad, pita and feta. I am making a cheeseburger casserole tonight and then later this week a chicken and mushroom dish! Planning meals is key for my success...but it was funny...I talked to a friend yesterday and she said if she meal planned she would obsess about when she was eating and what she could eat and ask herself if it was time...to which I LAUGHED...that is exactly what I think every day...which is shocking...why do I obsess about food so much? Why can't I just take it or leave it?

So..the weekend was fun, hanging out with Tim...reading, watching movies. We watched THE STING and THE DUCHESS...and some episodes of NORTHERN EXPOSURE. We did laundry and we spent time on our computers...maybe we will come up with something more riveting for next weekend.

And...I am sad about the lack of snow here in Washington...I got spoiled with all of the snow we had at the end of December and the beginning of January...but now it has been three weeks of nothing...all of my friends and family in Ohio are enjoying snow...and here, there is none, well, that's not entirely true...we have mounds of ugly white and grey and black snow...but that is all! Send me some snow!
