Your first kettlebell work-out---great! AND yoga! And a brisk walk. Very nice. I'm so glad too that you are enjoying more positive exercise. You are really taking care of yourself. I admire your consistency with goals and process...also your positive attitude.
Enjoy!
Do you listen to music? I know you mentioned Indian music. What other king of music do you listen to?

This subject gets my ire up, as I have experienced some fluctuations in weight in past few years---and been the brunt of these weight comments, and ONLY when I was slim. At one time, my weight went up to 230 pounds...I was obese, sick as all get out, short of breath, nearly crippled with back, hip, and knee pain, depressed (the typical SAD overweight/ill condition). No one showed any "conc

Ah, yoga class was great yesterday! I had had good energy all day, very busy with even energy and good mood. Class was good...first few minutes I felt resistance, but that left and I was working hard, staying present (when I feel resistance I am usually thinking ahead, as in dread).
And this morning I feel really quite good. My body feels better, my mood feels better. I hope we go this m

Energy update: Lots! I've been busy all day, have accomplished a lot. Also went swimming! Now, am drinking lemon water like crazy and soon off to yoga!
Have eaten more fruit, salad for lunch with avocado. Later, half a melon, green inside, good.
Beautiful day, so sunny and lovely with lots of birdies and piggies in the sky.

Yoga yesterday drained me, wiped me out. Went to 4:30 class, and it was hot and very very humid in room. Big class, lots of sweating people. And the day yesterday turned into mugginess, so it was like a sauna in the room. I worked as hard as I could. Had to stop a few times. Whew!!!!!

It's your FOOD! This is a happpppy thing, your tastes are opening to such healthy items from nature's bounty. You're going to be the fittest miss piggy anyone's ever seen. Pigging out on golden kiwis, what a marvelous thing considering what the Standard American Diner pigs out on. (certainly I am remembering what I've pigged out on, including my recent 10 rounds with gluten)

update: I did meditate. Good.
I did make vegetable juice: carrot, cucumber, celery, beet. Good.
I ate a salad...good...with tortillas...not so. Ah, well.
Lazy today, a bit tired. I am going to bed early tonight.
It is a wintry day, almost. Usually all the fans are on and I'm sweating...I put socks on and wore sweatshirt for awhile! Sullen weather and my mood is sinking. Now

YOU GO GIRL!
You are doing so FANTASTIC...
I will check in later, gotta run right now.
I await the Kiwi Bulletin. If you're not dazzled, you can throw in a smoothie.
Kiwi have a super duper amt of fiber...something like, 2 little kiwis equal a cup of bran. Good for intestinal elimination! And probably hundreds of good yummies for the cells.
Great day to you!

A ripe canary melon may change your mind! I have more for today...I was going to save it for after yoga. Our plans are changed from 10:45 class to the 4:30. I may eat the melon soon. I made a smoothie: banana, strawberries, peach,lettuce, cucumber, celery. Not bad. I like it. The cucumer celery was for yoga preparation. So, that's good, I have more time to get more in me, will make juice

Just ate one of the most delicious canary melons EVER !!! OMG. SUBLIME.
What a way to top off a great day. I did Bikram yoga, swam, did gardening, took dog for long walk, and the experience of this canary melon as Dinner is all the 'proof' I need that this is my natural human food! I can hardly believe how delicious: I've been fed.
Have you had your canary melon today?

New York must be quite a jungle for you! It would be too much for me, and you have the extra challenge, but you were a trooper! Sounds to me like you were practicing your yoga "off mat"-----very good.
And you could focus on the bounty of fruit! I want some of those apricots!
So, food evening to you, and relax, happy and curled up contentedly in your fruit basket.

I did enjoy swimming very much in water in sunlight. Warm sun, refreshing breeze and all that refreshing water immersion. Then sat in hot tub also.
Came home very hungry so I ate valencias. Need more. Cut up remainder of watermelon and the canteloupe...it is on counter losing its coldness. I don't like cold fruit. Natural temperature.
I am so relaxed. Such better energy, and calm.

Thanks so much, Soraya, how delightful and encouraging and understanding you are!!!! It was a joy to find this post here for me. Yeah, yesterday was a day and a half...a good one though, but with those moments. (The yoga was so tough, and so revealing)
I really like the golden kiwis! I prefer them to the greenish ones. Just ignore their little sweaters, you don't have to eat them...they a

Wonderful swim! I swam and did some diving and some floating (aquatic savasana) and general splashing and kicking and cavorting. Went in hot tub and let jets hit lower back and hip. Back in pool.
Home--ate a nice galia melon.
Before that, I started drinking water at regular intervals. I thought that maybe I am a little dehydrated which would be a big part of this tiredness.

What a class.
What a class.
It wasn't too hot, very good temperature, probably about 105. Didn't have to struggle with the heat. Struggled with the yoga. And, too many days between classes!
This Bikram yoga is so challenging for me. Big big sigh.
I felt great for about an hour afterward, ate, took nap. It does me in.

What a lovely and balanced day you're having! I've had a nice day too. Feel very indrawn. I felt restless in my imploding mood and had a strong rebellious craving for pizza. I ate a large canary melon and feel satisfied.
You are 3 hours later than here.
We were thinking about going to yoga, but decided not to. May go swimming, haven't been in pool yet!

That's a strong issue to confront, self-trust. It's a large subject and I don't know if I can tackle it, but I see you are moving right along with your self-discoveries. (I've had plantar fasciitis, wow! OWWW!)

Okay---here's the food scoop: yesterday in the afternoon I went to People's specifically to get the "mock chicken salad" -- the seitan. What an exasperating craving/allergy/addiction this is and I am on a bucking bronco and I keep getting thrown, trampled, and I swear that I am going to leave it alone and soon I am back on the vicious thing. I am SO addictive, so biochemically wired
