Glad that you are having such a positive experience with your fast. The closest I've come to fasting in years was either juice for a day or a couple days of monoing...
Thanks for sharing aout your spiritual path; did a little research on it, and will do some more later. I like learning about different paths...
I've been adjusting my rawfood attitude as well - funny you hit on that! I find

Elakti, interesting is not the word! *Cracks up* My body is has been on a cleansing cycle, it seems, for the past few days and I am becoming extremely well acquainted with the interior of the bathrooms here...oh boy!
Got up just after 5am (gasp!), got myself situated and pressed play at 5:30 ish: did my @ 40 minute kettlebell workout plus a 50-ish minute yoga session directly afterwards. I do

Humnnn...I have the feeling that you want to go on a fast soon..?
Sounds like you had such a refreshing day...and I know that you enjoyed your solitary swim! What a cool neighbour to have, one that allows you to pop over to swim!
Honestly I don't know how I'd respond to not being able to do yoga for a few days now...I wouldn't feel right at all!
If you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love t

Did a little dancing around in my room yesterday - was blasting the funky stuff while doing a spot of reorganising. Am about to engage in round two of that in a minute...I have a little boob box in my room and an Ipod shuffle that I got as a gift a couple years back - SO grateful for that little thing! Right now it's full of Jazz, World and New-Age music... oh! and some classical guitar, which ma

I am officially HOOKED ...
I love working out with my kettlebell! Can't wait to see what transformations occur to my body in a month or two, but I am SO enjoying the feeling of being this active (gives you a wicked cardio workout as well) and alive!

Thank you, Elakti! ;}
It's a little funny, your comment about consistency, because that was a MAJOR issue with me prior to my "camp" foray!!!
Felt a little sore this morning, so at first thought of taking the day to rest - but that thought didn't last long! My body wanted to move, so then I thought of maybe just doing some Tai-Chi. Ha!!! Ended up in rapture after a nice long hour

Wonderful, wonderful morning & day to you!
Yes, you are definitely headed in the right direction, and I continue to be proud of you! Isn't it amazing how much ease your body has gained as a result of all that "torture"? Doesn't it make it all worth it?
Hope you get a chance to top up on food soon; it gets really scary when you see the supplies winding down and you no longer h

Coco, I've found your honesty and frankness quite refreshing - not just in this particular thread - though sometimes I have to sit and chew on your words for a second and a half! ;} Then I usually realise that we are cut from the same cloth - that of keeping an open mind, examining everything and making the decision that most resonates with you. I much admire your willingness to be open and true

I'm doing great, thanks! For a while yesterday my stomach / elimination system was doing SOMETHING funky down there; not sure what was going on, but man did it get me frustrated a bit...feeling so bloated and practically living in the bathroom!!!Much better today, though, thank goodness!

If someone had told me a year ago that I'd be eating the 'salad' that I just finished - shredded Romaine, sundried tomatoes and cashews only - with no dressing, and that I would be purring with satisfaction while doing so...I would have asked him/her what the 'frack' they were smoking! That was one of the best salads I've had in a long time!
Thanks for the encouragement, Elakti! And thanks for

I actually am not a melon person! I can do watermelon most often, and the very occasional cantalope but I won't even touch other kinds; though, at the rate at which I seem to be trying previously 'untouchable' foods that too may change! **Makes a face**
Doesn't it just make your day when you have a food experience that is that good?!?

Oh...you have no idea...there are many times over the years that I've wondered how I've been able to do certain things at all! It's really stretched and expanded my coping / adaptive abilities, though - sometimes too much, too fast! - and I've never totally lived on my own, but I'm grateful for what I can do because there are many who can't handle as much by themselves...

Was wanting something... and was getting frustrated because it seemed like I didn't want anything that I had here, but the carrot-kale-collards-parsley-celery-tomato juice that I finished a few minutes ago sure did hit the spot!!! Frustration vanished!
Today was quite different for me. After doing my Basic Spinal Energy yoga set and having my usual juice, I got the extra balls from somewhere t

Sounds like you had quite a day yesterday! I keep saying to myself how strong you are to keep up with your yoga, especially Bikram; my hat is off to you. The fact that you remain strong - and, yes, acknowledging your doubts / fears and (openly) crying are signs of strength! - encourages ME no end, and keeps me in your corner hell bent on cheering for you until I'm hoarse! ;}

Thanks, Elakti!
I am so enjoying this process, and am soaking in all that the yoga practice has to offer. I remember how fantastic I felt when this was a regular thing for me, and wondered why the HECK I didn't continue with this in the first place; then I realise that I couldn't, I just wasn't in the place (metally, emotionally) to do so. NOW I am!

Sundancer, I hope your quiet times & moments of clarity have been as revelatory as mine have been!

Yes, did have a fine day, thank you!

114. Re: Kettlebells
What I love about Krav Maga is that it's "real" fighting, and maybe more appealing to women especially because it may seem more immediately practical as there're not a lot of forms to learn, for example; my first class was spent learning how to defend myself against various standing strangleholds, and the attackers really did apply pressure! And it's so much fun getting down and dirty a

It sure seems like we're on the same track in a lot of areas, or at least have had to deal with a lot of similar issues. "Now I mostly have issues with the crowd I call myself"...that is CLASSIC! I just need to let you know that I'm borrowing that sentiment ;}

Inspired by Elakti, and after being 'told off' by my body for way too long ;}, I have buckled down and committed myself to resuming an active yoga practice. I began doing Kundalini yoga some years ago, but have fallen out of the habit and have been paying for it, both physically and mentally / emotionally. I do have a VHS that I have used at times, and have a few of the set m
