Today I did my exhaustion test for 200 Situps and I actually did TWO HUNDRED CRUNCHES. A month ago my first exhaustion test was 50.

The last day of my vacation *sad*. I ended it as I began, with a 1 hour 50 minute yoga session focusing on breathing and meditation. On the first day , it was wonderful for relaxation and decompression; on the last day, it's got my mind clarified and energized.

I was able to achieve my vacation goal of nine days of extended yoga sessions (at least an hour) out of eleven days. My standing postures have improved quite a bit, which was a secondary goal. I'm not all the way of where I want to be with them yet, but I'm closer than I was. I also, at rydra_wong's suggestion, explored metta meditation, or lovingkindness meditation, as well as tonglen, which focuses on compassion, and will be working on incorporating those elements into my daily practice.

Got to go to a really sweaty vinyasa class, then helped pull flood-damaged carpet out of a friends house.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!
