What have I learned from my yoga month?
- I can touch my toes with just a little effort and determination - hello toes!
- I can join fitness classes by my self, without having a friend come hold my hand..
- Yoga is a great way to feel completely present - something that doesn't happen often enough in my daily life
- The hamstrings in my right leg are waaaay tigher than the ones in my left - why??
Has yoga helped my weightloss? Probably. Each session has lasted 1.5h but as about 30 min of that is breathing exercises and relaxation I only count 1 hour, which is 2.5 activity points. Together with the running I feel like I've been getting a good, allround workout.
Badminton month (a.k.a. February) is nearly upon us. It will be interesting to see what stepping up the cardio will do for the weightloss. I'm still trying to focus my efforts on this Valentines ball I'm going to. 2 weeks to go on Sat!
I've discovered that Thursdays are an excellent day to schedule exercise on...this way I've cleverly managed to avoid the boozy after work drinks that my work is so fond of. And I like them too, but it's not what my body needs right now. Since work tends to pick up the bill on these evenings I find it's twice as hard to pace myself - the next drink is on the table before I've finished the first one! I've had a couple of comments from the most dedicated drinkers in the office that I "never come out to play anymore". I wonder if they've noticed I've lost weight?
