CK since Sunday

[muck_a_luck]

Oi. Sunday was hiking. We did a big piece of the Limberlost Trail, and went down toward the White Oak Falls. A serious hike of about 1.5 hours. NO YOGA, dang it! The 40 days were going so well! Monday. NO YOGA. RL needed me to leave work early, so I left the house WAAAY early. No time. Exercise consisted of a brisk walk around downtown Fairfax - about 20 minutes. Tuesday. NO YOGA. Felt ill, like I was going to throw up. Went back to bed. No exercise of any kind yesterday.

FINALLY!

Today, the Spiral Meditation and Foundation Vinyasa from Fluid Power (Shiva Rea). Then did about 10 minutes of handstand work. Kicked all the way up three or four times, but couldn't hold it. Then some self-guided back bending, supine postures, and forward bending/hip opening, concluding with Boat and Sivasana with meditation. Not a perfect sequence, but not bad. Sadly, with all the RL going on, had squirrel-brain throughout the yoga, that didn't even really stop as I was breathing through the chakras in Sivasana. Oh, well. Hopefully, the RL drama will end by sometime tomorrow, and I can regain some equanimity.

Hello and some Questions

[darkauthor26]

Hello. I've read the standards and figured it was time to post now and hope I do this all right. I'm trying to lose forty pounds and just be more healthy in general. Yesterday I went back to kung fu after two months haitus. I want to go to kung fu at least three times a week, if not four (the maximum limit). I also want to do some walking such as walking to church on Sundays instead of driving. I'm also aiming to lift dumbbells each day, more for toning purposes than for muscle building although I wouldn't say no to some muscle.
