Kept From Bikram

My schedule for the last three weeks and the next two, kept me from doing any Bikram yoga classes. I was out of town for most of that time and there were no studios within reach. The weeks I spend up here in Arlington are only doable exercise wise because I have a Koko Fit . . . → Read More: Kept From Bikram

Deluded

My daughter recently cleaned out her clothes and have me two bags of things she thought I might like. This, in turn, caused me to clean out my clothes.

My first step was to try things on and decide if I’d ever wear it again. My clothes are more than four years old so . . . → Read More: Deluded

15 Days

It’s been 15 days since I’ve done any yoga or exercise and today was the day to begin again. This morning I went to fit club and the workout was good, but my e-BMI (Body Mass Index) was amazing – after 15 days napping and sitting. It was 29.3. I’ve never fallen below 29.7. I . . . → Read More: 15 Days

Stats!

The other day I noticed how much I was limiting myself in the gym over the years by not ever upping the weights because I honestly didn’t think I could press more. Today, doing lateral chest pulls, it once again showed how I limited myself. I’m doing 50 pounds now, and for ten years I . . . → Read More: Stats!

Yoga Doesn’t Grab You…

…until your body is face down flat on the ground, fists pounding and legs kicking. Your mind has run off over the horizon and your spirit has vacated to hover just below the clouds. Yoga means the union of the body, mind and spirit. When the mind and spirit have vacated the premises and left . . . → Read More: Yoga Doesn’t Grab You…

Something Hard

Not too long ago I cited Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote, “Do one thing each day that scares you.” Today I revamped that quote: do one thing everyday that is hard for you.

Tonight I went to night yoga, which for me, is quite unusual because I don’t go to yoga on the weekends. I’ve been . . . → Read More: Something Hard

Food Hell

Food hell is me in a grocery store buying anything other than paper towels and coconut water. My meeting last night got cancelled so I thought I'd use the time to get my food for my Koko nutrition project. It was a gorgeous sunset and I grabbed my list (after which I spent an hour . . . → Read More: Food Hell

This Requires Focus

Yesterday Koko Fit Club rolled out its nutrition plan to compliment their exercise program. Most of you know I joined Koko in October and have loved every minute of being there. (Goto Kokofitclub.com and/or the related post below to see this phenomenal fitness program). You can imagine how excited I was to go yesterday to take . . . → Read More: This Requires Focus

No Limits!

This morning before I left for Bikram yoga I got an email from Koko Fit Club informing me that I was now moving to the next level and was eligible for an orange lanyard. You get points for every workout and for every 50,000 points you earn a new color lanyard for your flash drive. . . . → Read More: No Limits!

All’s Good In The Sandbox

Today I'm not talking about the sandbox that my Bikram yoga and Koko fit club play around in – namely, my body. These two nemesis, with the exception of Tuesday, have played rather nicely all week and I'm hoping this is the beginning of a peaceful coexistence. Unlike the holiday dinners so rapidly approaching. . . . → Read More: All’s Good In The Sandbox
