I think my sinus infection is *finally* disepating, which is a good thing seeing as I just finished up the antibiotics for it. I really need to practice the various methods of deep breathing associated with yoga. Its hard to do when you can’t breathe through your nose.
I’m kicking ass at sticking to a daily exercise regiment of varying formats. I’ve been going strong on doing yoga daily. Sometimes I do an entire workout, other times I practice poses and transitions and test out new things. I’m more flexible than I think I am, but my balance is complete shit, but only for standing poses, surprisingly backbends and inversions are fine. I almost fell into the eliptical machine during a standing variation of sun salutation b switching between warrior poses and triangle side bend things. I’ve also been sticking to weight training more so than the elliptical machine, though I still use it from time to time. I am really trying to build my upper body and upper arm strength, since that is the other area I am lacking beyond balance. At least my transition to and from plank to downward facing dog are getting better, however my transition from plank to chaturanga to upward facing dog is still awful. I never was able to do push ups, gravity (read: boobs) and poor upper body and arm strength always worked against me. I get to a certain point and then belly flop on the floor and trip over my own feet in the process. I’m sure the cats find it endlessly amusing.
I’ve been incredibly snacky for the past two days for no apparent reason. I’m still doing fine on the diet. I just am curious as to why one day I am fine and the next day I want to eat constantly.
