I went to two classes this week at my new gym. They were beautiful. I am used to Bikram, so it was a nice change doing something more mellow. I really want to be doing yoga almost every day eventually. I feel like I’ll be able to say I practice regularly after I have been going most days for about two months or so. I feel so good about this! Yoga does nothing but beautiful and wonderful things for your life!

Yes, Mindful eating something that goes very slowly sometimes. I have been working on this goal for about 1 year now. I am also recovering from bulimia and anorexia so I think its happening even more slowly for me (thats ok, I understand its totally normal!) Someday I will be able to eat mindfully almost all the time. Right now the path is full of potholes and slopes and high and lows, but I am so determined to make this happen for myself I don’t think I’ll ever give up. I have a recording I purchased on iTunes called “Guided meditation using self-hypnosis techniques and yoga nidra relaxation for weight loss” by Dr. Siddharth Shah. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! Its been helping me a lot. I also have a book “Eating Mindfully” by Susan Albers, Psy. D. It has a lot of exercises and guided meditations that are very helpful. I wish I had more support sometimes, like a group or something to go to, but I am so shy sometimes it may take a little longer to find something like that. To all the other people with this goal on their list, I send my love and support. Cheers!

I got some work done on my next big piece today…its Mexico DF and its huge, chaotic and green and red, and I feel really good about where its going! YAY!
