Was it three years ago? I can't remember what it was called then. I remember it was Niccole that started it, originally. Oh, it was more than three years ago - I just remembered why - three years ago, I lost my other kitty and I remember posting it here - I don't think I would have done that if I didn't know you guys.…

Saw the RockCats/AcroCats last night, so much fun! Highly recommended. I put a link on FB. Had a great yoga class and a nice walk. More of the same today. Today is dedicated to my little gray kitty. He will be put to sleep either tomorrow or Tuesday. I want to pick Tuesday, but my husband's schedule isn't as clear - I…

The beautiful Texas winter weather is back, yeah! I hope it's this nice when my aunt comes to visit next week. Had a great yoga class yesterday followed by a very nice dessert - well half of one anyway. We both ordered the 3 course meal and we ordered different desserts. I should have gone with my instincts and ordered the…

Today is double yoga, yeah! Also, I need to clean the house - I didn't do it yesterday, because I decided to make bread as well as a no added sugar or oil brownie like thing (bananas and dates for sweet, light coconut milk for a little savory). They are both good, though I prefer the bread. I had some bananas that were…

I don't know what Les Mills is, but I really like all the Rodney Yee yoga DVDs.

Welcome back, Bobbie - I agree with MM about the profile pic - it's great. So if you have a clogged artery in your neck, wouldn't headaches, vertigo, migraines, etc be normal? Hope you feel better soon, V. Today is mostly walking with a little side of yoga tonight. I just looked out my window - I think it's time to clean…

My guy is 20 this year. I've had him since 1991 :noway: He was my first cat. He has a spinal degeneration and it effects his back legs - so some days he can barely walk. He has a cold right now, so it's really running him down. I never thought he would make it this long. He's still happy. Today: double yoga, make soup,…

Back from Fort Worth. It was a bit a whirlwind tour (there and back within 24 hours), and I'm back to holding my kitty. He's old and acting older every day. I got a short walk in this morning, plan on getting a longer one in this afternoon. I better get moving before the day slips away. I need to fit some yoga in today…

I've done yoga for 11 years and have taught for 5 years. This is what I can say: 1. The exercise part of yoga will not help you lose much weight - but anything you are willing to stick with is better than something you are not willing to stick with. 2. It will make you stronger than you thought possible and more flexible.…

I hope you figure it out, MM. Maybe try one new food a month? Or a new recipe every week? For the longest time I thought I didn't like mushrooms - what I don't like are white button mushrooms (especially canned) - but other mushrooms, when prepared well, are one of my favorite foods. Today I'm off to Fort Worth. Ah, I-35,…

Woke up early today. The autocorrect must know it's Sunday - It changed today to tpray. I'm going downstairs soon to go to the gym to walk. Then it's class until 3 pm. Another walk this evening. I do the least amount of yoga on days I go to yoga school. School, boogaloo

V- I heard on "Wait wait don't tell me" something about a toilet being a tourist destination in TO- please splain

Off to SA today. Perfect amount of snow and ice yesterday - enough to cancel work and small enough to mostly melt off by 4pm or so. Roads look clear this morning - and it's already 32 degrees, yeah! Got in a great yoga session in yesterday. Did all the standing poses on my syllabus for 80 seconds each (except warrior 3,…

Found this special occasion cake for my gluten free pebbs: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/753

:laugh: We got about 1/2 inch, but it's on top of some ice, so I'm not going anywhere today. I was kinda wishing for a snow day to catch up one stuff. All should be gone tomorrow (high of 56) and the sun is already out today. I'm not going to work (yoga). The message on the machine said they weren't opening until at least…

Yeah, we had the brownouts too. Though my house didn't have any, and I'm not even going to watch the superbowl. But I'm confused, why not take the power down in the stadium - the superbowl isn't until Sunday. Oh, I hope you don't go stir crazy MM. I heard from my mother-in-law that you guys won't get out of this until…

You may have a complete outage MM. Our outages were only supposed to be 40 minutes. You may need to called the company.

I think it's normal to have a below average temp after a fever, V. Also, to let you guys know how non-girly I am - I don't own a hair dryer :laugh: Oops, I found one. I think it was from when my husband had hair - about 13 years ago.

Sooo, anyone got some ideas about frozen pipes? The cold water in our shower doesn't work this morning. Everything else is fine - including the pipes in the garage :huh: There is a pipe that is on the opposite side of the shower that is outdoor. I wrapped it twice, but it's kinda funky, still, seems strange. It's 18…

Hey, V, even when you get better - no shoulderstand for you for sure. Also, no looking up when you are in standing poses like Triangle, ok?

Stay warm - everyone. I was thinking of you MM. It's just too cold for Texas. When was the last time you remember wind chills in the "negatives"? We aren't there, we might hit "0" tomorrow morning - just not right. I don't know what my bulbs and plants will do. I clean a little everyday. I do a load of laundry almost…

Thanks MM, my birthday was great. Another great day planned today. Yesterday, I did 39 sun salutations (in a row, you can do it, V) for my 39th birthday. I did a lot of chaturanga (think the down of a push up, MM) and my pecs are sore today. It's a place that's sore on me a lot - maybe that's saying I need to work it more.…

Yoga Journal has some good (free) podcasts.

Great day yesterday - another one today! Charlie said my class was tough - which is good, because I never know. We also did tough poses in group practice going toward big dancer pose (little dancer is grabbing the back foot by reaching down and grabbing it, big dancer is grabbing the foot from overhead - I was able to do…

I didn't get the bike ride in yesterday, but not because I was afraid of the outdoors - I was barely out there. Did get many things done though. Charlie has the day off today in celebration of "birthday week". He's coming to my class this morning, then we go to lunch, do some chore in the afternoon, hopefully get a little…

CP - ditto to what V said. A few final edits on the paper and I'm done! Also hardly any homework for the week (we are supposed to be ready to teach the seated postures, shouldn't be a problem). My teacher and husband both looked over my paper, and I realized I'm more of a perfectionist than they are. Though the teacher did…

Good luck finding boots, MM. If I have to wear dress up shoes, I really like my Justin boots, though I don't wear anything but gorilla shoes unless required. I wear boots instead of heels - even on my own wedding day. I ended up at a yoga class yesterday. I had some extra time, since I finished the paper :bigsmile:…

Try a couple of classes of both and see which one you like better.

I will finish my paper today. I also plan on doing volunteer work, walking, laundry, and cooking. Mediation was ok yesterday. I will try it for 5 weeks. If I don't notice anything, I can stop. I'm starting with 10 minutes today. They did 20 minutes last night, which I thought was too long for beginners. It's hard to sit up…

I beginning to count the weekends left in SA. There are parts of training I really like - Teaching Methodology, never had that, wow what a concept, teach me how to teach - other parts, not so much - I really care about my chakras - or any New Agey/quasi-religious part of yoga. In fact, my hard yoga teacher said, "you're…
