Before After

Braking an old addiction!

loooong time no blog!   well here is where i have been...=)

still going strong doing my yoga. still just three basic moves and centered breathing. boy has this alone done wonders for me and my "spine".

the batteries in the scale began to die and i still weighed my self a bunch of times. old habits are hard to break! but i have not replaced them and have not weighed myself for more than a week now. i'm hoping this addictive behavior has stopped. but i'm not ready to replace the batteries yet.

i have been keeping very busy. my little guy started kindergaten last monday and my oldest came back from her summer long new york visit to start college this coming monday and i've been trying to support my oldest son starting his first year of college in new york w/ 650 miles between us the best that i can....eeeks! emotion after emotion but too busy to comfort myself in a bath of junk food.

i am also proud to say....drum roll please.....=)  i have joined a softball team!!! i have not played since 99' and i'm probably a good 30-35 pounds heavier. our first game is this coming tuesday. my first practice was this past thursday and let me tell you.... i did great hitting the ball...making it to first base...then second...then as i approcehed third...my legs said "HELL NO!! LADY" and i belly flopped right there for everyone to see...lol  our third base coach, a small 4 foot nothing woman tried to reach out and catch me...it was slow motion and i started laughing and yelled you'll get sqwished!!! just let me go... lol we laughed and she helped me to my knees and before i knew it i was on the run again toward home plate. thank God its co-ed and i guy hit a good one. i hit 2 more times and both times remained in play. when i wasn't hitting i was catcher... my legs are KILLING!!! me!!! all i can say is "SQWATS" its just my upper legs.."every where" and it has to been from sqwating and jumping up. i'm feeling better today but geez... nothing replaces a good hour of game sports. i also turned 38 on the 13th of august and decided on my drive home that been 38 and over weight sucks!!..lol so its the kick in the butt i needed to get moving again...=) 

i will up date as soon as i can. i highly reccommend yoga!! in any form...modified...when i was on second the first time..i was breathing hard...heaving...and i remembered to focus on the light w/in...its a deep experience than just breathing in and out deeply. its more controlled and i recovered really fast....talk to you soon!! =)

sorry about any spelling & other errors...i'm just gonna submit and get my little guy in the tub...night night!

Softball story

Oh my gosh, your story of base running is too funny.  You're a terrific sport with an awesome attitude!  Keep it up!   I hope your thigh muscles are much better by the time of your game on Tuesday.  Can't wait to hear that story.

So glad you're discovering the many benefits of yoga!

OMG--flashback

Girl, I knew exactly where that story was going because the exact same thing happened to me! I was on a team one year, then was hit by a car between seasons. I thought my knee injury was healed until I tried to run to base at the first game. Nope. Not happening. I just ran a few steps and fell right on my face. Humiliating is just not the word. Only a few people knew I had been injured. They just thought I was so out of shape I couldn't use my appendages! I'm just kind of glad I am no longer alone in having suffered this particular humiliation.

I am so happy yoga is still working for you. I have a yoga related blog up today on my site. So which three poses are the ones that you're doing so often? I'm interested in all things yoga.

Have fun playing softball, and don't indulge in too many post-game beers!

WOW!!! YOU GO GIRL!!

 you really are getting into that groove thing!!! I bet you look wonderful!!! I always check on you even if I dont comment!!! I always check to see how you are doing!!! Good job!!!

I am a weigher too!

I have always weighed myself everyday!  Every morning the first thing I do is potty, strip and weigh...  I even weigh 3 times to make sure the scale says the same thing!  Part of my OCD....  I check things 3 times, like alarm clocks, door locks and oven knobs...lol....
That is great about Softball!  I admire you.  I suck at sports!
You are doing great.  I love your hair in that new picture you have posted!

YOU ARE DOING GREAT!

I just had to pop in and stop and tell you that you are doing an amazing job!!!! 30 pounds!!!  YEAH!  KEEP IT UP!! U r  doing great! Love, Jen
