angelakHere goes again; trying to get back into the habit of writing more than 140 character bites. Facebook sort of took over my datasphere and I'm not happy about having no in depth updates about life. I can't pull it up 3 years from now and get a sense of what was going on in my life. And so I'm frustrated that it took over November as for updates and a glimpse into my life. SO HERE I GO! Taking back the archiving. That and I'd like to think some people do LIKE to read about what is going on beyond just a surface level.
Let's see. Last night I did a double yoga class, taking me to day 25.
Tonight will be class 26. I'm excited for this prospect. My knees are doing phenomenal. I do a couple of modifications, which is very rare in my studio. But they saw that I left for 2 months for the knees and they realized that uh. It wasn't just a minor gig.
Consequently, I've been working very diligently. I held back for a few months in my practice keeping my weight off my knees and have done very well with this. Also, running has been very minimal in impact. I feel like it would be really hard to go backwards in recovery at this point, with every fiber of my being. I can stand, do stairs, pivot my weight off my feet in a quick motion and not experience shooting pain anymore. Life has gotten so much better for me.
But the catalyst happened in June this year when I began my first 30 day Bikram gig. Day 14 I was slammed with insights and I followed them. This 30 day Bikram trial has been special and sweet because I've been able to keep going, and at day 14 I swear I experienced one more level of healing in the knees – and continued on. How wonderful.
On the home front I've been so busy with the trial and trying to balance my relationships.
And work.
So much to write about work. How I feel, where I wish I could be, what I want to do, what I'm not doing. That's ok.
My biggest challenge is remembering that sometimes, failing your way to success is the only way to get there.
In other news, the weather is cold, and I really want to start running again. I stopped 3 weeks ago or so when I got a head cold but wanted to continue on my 30 day. I didn't want to do yoga and running while recovering from a cold. Unfortunately, I have JUST gotten over my cold (93% anyway).
And now it's sub zero. Yikes. Makes it harder to motivate myself!!!!!!
No worries. Maybe it will heat up next week a bit. My mind is a little lonely of running, it misses it ;)
Anyways. Just taking life as it comes and being pretty positive about where things are headed. Uncertain of what things are to come, but trying to remember that asking how isn't always the best approach ;)
