One Up, One Down

Yesterday was fantastic. Went to the gym and spent 30 minutes on the treadmill. Mostly fast walking, of course, because my body won't tolerate running for long stretches of time... but there were a few times I ramped it up a bit. Then I went downstairs to the Gentle Yoga class. Oh, my, word. I was amazing. Just a lot of slow stretching and breathing, but it was exactly what my body needed. I felt so calm, energized and restored after it.

Then I came home, had a delicious salad for lunch and potted some more plants. Repotting a couple indoor ones, putting a couple new herbs outside (garlic chives, and dill) and put some seeds in - mostly just to see if anything happens. But my porch has been having good luck so far.

Today, my plan was to get up, visit the cardio machines again, and then go to the Kripalu Yoga class. I've been sooo eagerly awaiting this one. But I overslept. Argh. I didn't wake up until the class had already started. Grrr... Kind of mad at myself, because I was plenty tired enough to go to bed last night at a reasonable time, but I stayed up playing stupid games on the computer. Dumb move.

I know that to build on these blocks that I've started, I've got to keep my sleep habits in check. Need to get more consistent, and hold myself to more reasonable times. Thankfully it'll help that Kevin is going to be out of town for a week at a music festival. I can try out a schedule that's got nothing to do with him, and see how it feels for me.

Anyway, for now I think I need coffee and some reading time on my porch. And then perhaps some yoga with a Namaste DVD. From there... who knows?! It's a gorgeous weekend here, so the possibilities are many.

Hoping you find the chance for joy and a deep breath to enjoy it today! Sending you my love.
