I thought I'd be able to keep up with these posts throughout the month but I've had to let that part of my WoYoPracMo experience to slide. I have been doing great with my practice, however, and am very proud of myself. There are days I wish I had gone longer, and I missed one day after the stomach virus and then another day when both kids where battling the flu and needed constant attention. I tried to toe up to the mat but was just too beat and felt I would cause more harm than good. It was har… Continue

Today, the 8th, I'm hale and hearty and very much looking forward to a gentle, restorative practice this evening. Yesterday, however, I just couldn't do it, after my bout with the stomach bug. My body said rest, I preach listening to the body, so I rested. And you know, I thought I'd beat myself up about it because I really wanted/needed/had to do a daily practice.

Warning - this may be a bit descriptive.

Late in the night I was finally overcome by the stomach bug. Fortunately I had just put the 4 y.o. to bed and, after her 6 hour stint with it, figured I could handle a short bought of vomiting.

I sat on the bath mat. Yup, bath mat. I did mild twists to help activate the di… Continue

I rushed this one. 12 minutes and, if I can get more time in before midnight, I will. Yesterday the wee one was sidetracked by a stomach bug. This morning I figured, since none of us had it too, that it was something she ate. NOPE. The oldest has it right now and I'm feeling the beginning. I was finishing up some voice over work when hubby and I heard her cry out. What a mess. Now she's tucked on the couch watching some silly movie and I got in my time at her feet (well, off to the side a bit in… Continue

Whoohooo, this was a tense one. Then I realized my shoulder alignment was way out of whack in down dog and then everything fell into place. I meant to do an hour of cardio then the practice but it got switched around. I ended up having more energy for the cardio. This is good b/c my energy has been lacking a lot lately. Guess giving up the tequila this month helps, too. ;)
