Yoga and Other Things

So some things have changed since my last post. Things are still stressful  but they are getting better, my husband and I went for a walk last week and decided what we were going to about trying to get things under control financially and with the stupid ass roomate. After much talk and gentle persuasion on my part, we agreed to evict our roomate and later discovered that he was costing us more than his rent was. So as of December first our roomate will be out. That in itself has been extremely stress relieving, almost instantly my husband and I were wrestling around again and it was soooooo good to hear his laugh again, I almost forgot what it sounded like. The money is always nice but you can't put a price on a roomate that is SERIOUSLY fiancially draining you. So that has been a postivie twist!

I have also started to get back into my Yoga again. I missed it so much and I didn't realize how much until I started doing the weird bends and realizing that I'm not 19 anymore really hit hard. I missed how bendy I was (mind you I could still do almost all the poses as I could before) and well honestly in shape. I have been trying hard not to really hate myself lately because I have really put on some weight and I hate it that when I walk I can feel the belly bounce and when I wore some really kick ass black high heels yesterday I felt like I was putting everyone in a hypnotic sense because how much my chest was moving all over the place. Today I feel like I should have tuba behind me warning everyone of a wide load coming through. This video explains it perfectly:

So I have decided that I am going to get full fledged back into my Yoga and maybe eventually become an instructor that I had thought about before. I know that Yoga is not cardiovascular and is not technically a "workout" but I love to do it (except when you get choked by your breasts because you are doing forward bends, that sucks). I am NOT running though, I hate hate hate hate hate hate  hate hate hate running. I understand that some people love to do it, those people are what I like to call "crazy", or "loopy". I've done the whole running/gym thing and honestly not a fan and don't intend to ever do it again. I eventually want to do Yoga for an hour everyday as I have done before in the past, I don't know how easy that is going to be to do with how busy we are but I will try. I find that Yoga also helps me to relax, no wait it FORCES me to relax and it makes me concentrate on what I am doing not what is going on. The warrior pose is my favorite pose, it's invigorating and really forces you mentally to concentrate, perhaps I have really have had a passion all along. Maybe it took me to leave it for six years for me to realize how much it helped me mentally and made me happier to be around. I plan to get into a Yoga dieting as well and really make it part of my everyday life, and I hope that with that make me loose so much needed weight.
