Thriving

I begrudingly went to the yoga class last night. I’m having buyers remorse. I spent $60 for the series because I know I liked the style of yoga and I liked the teacher. But there are a few things wrong. The biggest issue is that I’m realizing this style of yoga is wrong for me at this moment because where I’m having most of my pain is in my hip crease and the first week’s class literally had me in tears because most of it was spent in folded positions. So not what I need… plus the fact that its so stationary. I really need to do MORE movement because I’ve become incredibly stationary. But, the other thing that’s bugging me is that the teacher is driving me a bit nuts. I took one of her classes a long time ago before she started teaching this style of yoga and one thing I always liked about her was her voice. Voice is so important in a yoga class. Well, I don’t know what happened, but her voice changed. Its now high pitched and squeaky and most of the time she sounds like she’s talking to a bunch of kids. Her attitude has changed too… she kinda down-right cocky now, which irritates me. Anyway… I went last night because I spent the money and I might as well go, but I won’t be signing up for another series.

I actually think we are going to sign up for a membership to a raquetteball club down the street. Its a bit expensive, but gains us membership to three clubs… one of which has a pool. And they have the courts and lots of classes. And the thing is, I was thinking… there are a lot of things we could spend $100/month on that wouldn’t be a waste of money… but at the same time wouldn’t be beneficial for our health. Using the Law of Attraction… I have really been focused on putting a lot of emotion and enthusiasm towards wanting to be fit. Talking about health… etc… and its starting to work… I can see it. Mich got a book on eating for your blood type which I know is just another type of diet program, but hey… its something that has us both talking more about being healthy. And the book mentions that I thrive on intense exercise and a high animal protein diet. Mich laughed and said that it wasn’t me. But, I said to her… "well, I’m not exactly thriving right now am I?" And its true… I do know for a fact that I thrive when I eat more protein and exercise a lot. So, I need to add more fish to my diet because that’s the only animal protein I eat anymore and I really do want to move more… especially now that I’m driving long distances and sitting all day at a desk. And the more enthusiastic I am about being fit, the more the Law works.

The drive with my boss to JFK on Wednesday was good. It was good to see our properties and good to spend time with him chatting. He said I should come with him all the time because the drive flew by. The meeting was interesting and I think overall it was a good trip. Oh, and having cake for him on Monday went well. He seemed a bit uncomfortable/embarassed, but I think he appreciated it.

Our party also went ok. We only ended up with four friends over and they had never met before… well, the two hadn’t met the other two, but everyone got along and I think everyone had fun. I bought sushi (WAY too much) and made crab dip and crab mac & cheese. We had veggies and chips. Friends brought other dips and LOTS of alcohol. We had so much alcohol… it was crazy. I think I gained 7 lbs over the weekend. LOL But, it was a good time. Not as much fun as parties used to be since our one friend moved to FL, but it was good to unwind.

This weekend we might go on a women’s bike ride and then go ride some rollercoasters. There’s also a holistic fair in town that I want to stop at, so we’ll see. It should be a fun weekend though.
