do it again

jiminy crickets!
why do we deprive ourselves of what really makes us happy?? why oh why oh why? after a 2 week yoga hiatus I finally slapped down the mat and got down on the ground with it. It was heaven. I swear I was smiling the entire time we twisted, sweat and stretched. i didn't even mind that it was more crowded than usual or that this kind of pretty girl's crusty feet were in my face for the frog pose. It is soooooooooooooooooooooo good to be back. After a friend from home passed away i holed myself in my room while g worked on the house for about a month, well, ok he worked on the house for a month, I was "mourning for 2 weeks". But Christmas kind of cock blocked it a little bit.. Instead of going to yoga which was my first impulse/instinct/intention. i rolled around in bed listened to gospel music and cried like a babe. A good approach for some but not entirely what I needed. After i discovered that the local cafe would deliver me frozen yogurt- my hermitage had really begun. i guess it was what I needed. But I am pretty certain that a couple of prana sessions would have cleared my psyche, sinuses and soul a little bit more..

as for the eating business. I am slowly revamping. I am still addicted to apples and that penzey spice business. But today I did it with salmon and had a few slices of fake cheese in the a.m. Not exactly a model of healthy eating. But, what are you going to do.

Came home from yoga, took a bath with the bf. My hands are all pruney but I feel like it's happening. I can't wait to go back tomorrow. Normally, when I say things like that I am being sarcastic. But I really mean it. the only other times I would say things like that with such sincerity was when I used to write letters to Santa. But this is something entirely different, and luckily far more real.

oopsie

So, last night didn't go as planned. i forgot that we had plans to attend a birthday party at a taqueria. we had some burrito's and other assorted mexican offerings along with a few beers. What are you going to do? you know.

I am heading to yoga @ 5:30 ish and will set my intention to move forward with more zeal.
