Sometimes I get lazy. For example, I haven't been to yoga in several weeks. Part of it is that I now have a radio show on Tuesday mornings which means I can't do Tuesday class at Blooma, but that's mostly an excuse since I know the basic sun salutations and I have a Yoga Shakti DVD that I can do any day of the week. I hate that I'm not doing it and I am changing the day of my show post Labor Day so I can go back to my Tuesday class. But, in the mean time, this laziness has to stop.
Back in 2003, before I was in law school, I was doing pilates regularly at the Calhoun Beach Club. Then, one day, I showed up to the 6:30 am class and it had been cancelled. It disheartened me so much that I never went back. Yeah, I know, weird.
I've been riding my bike some this summer, but not the long rides I was envisioning, and not as often as I was when I first bought it.
It's kind of a circular problem of tiredness- if I get into a pattern of not working out, then I feel very tired and then I feel very tired so I can't drag my ass out of bed in order to do yoga or bike or walk before work.
Today Johan and I went on a 5 mile, brisk-paced walk. Well, I walked and he sat in his stroller eating oranges and pointing out various animals along the way. I know it's not running a marathon, but I felt awesome all day - while Johan was napping, I read my book and did laundry and organized the house. Tonight I still feel good and am hoping that my long walk is the catalyst to getting back to the mat/bike/paths.
One of my facebook friends (the Mister of my good friend Sarah) had a status update a few weeks ago that is apt and is important for me to remember:
"And to think I almost skipped yoga this morning due to tiredness. That would have been like skipping one's favorite meal due to hunger."

You forgot the part about the drinking. ;)
Is there a place where we can listen to your radio show online? I haven't heard it yet and I'd like to be able to listen to it at work (designers can do that).
