Working Out and Working In...

So I'm really sore...but I feel good. Yesterday started my new (and permanent) regimine of working out hardcore. I realized that the reason why I was soooo skinny in highschool was because of a couple of reasons. 1. I swam 2 hours/day 6 days/week. 2. I didn't drink alcohol (that much.) Therefore...workout/diet mode is in highgear. I'm definitely eating healthier. I'm walking 3 miles each morning at 6:30, lifting 3 days a week and swimming 3 days a week AND I just started Yoga today. I'm not very good, but I like it. It was sooooo good this morning because I could hardly move after lifting yesterday. It also reminds me a lot of swimming because it's a time period where I talk to no one. Now I love to talk. Trust me...I LOVE to talk, but even this mouth needs a break. I'm also always on the go somewhere and geared up for something. I'm hoping in the fall there are Yoga classes I can get to (or I become a disciplined guru and can easily do it in my home.) In any sense...it's work on me.
Speaking of work on me...after my so fascinating tarot reading at the Gypsy, I now know that I need some personal spirit work. Sounds like I have issues, but I'm not crazy. I just need to get a little grounded. -a little...I don't want to become boring. I'm hoping that job will settle me in September into my own place and a little more cash. I'm also vowing to blog every other day and work on my own personal writing (whatever the book of the day is!) This is definitely where I need to become more focused and disciplined. Any suggestions?
I volunteered yesterday at a Make-A-Wish golf outing in town. It was really nice though the turnout wasn't as good as the past years (so I was told.) I'm glad I've been involved in some charities this year. It's a good feeling to help.
Dating status...still single.
Wanting to date status...not looking. (today)

Hey Molly,

good for you and your workout regime. i don't think you should strive to be anything other than feeling your best (don't compare yourself to highschool)--you're always beautiful. but--it sounds like a great combination. i love yoga. next time you're in nyc we'll have to go take a class together. for writing and discipline--i have a book that i've been meaning to do for about two years now called "The Artist's Way: A spiritual path to higher creativity" A course in Discovering and recovering your creative self--I know it sounds like a bit much but i have had so many people i know swear by it and do it several times. You should check it out--it's basically a three month list of things to write about in the morning/think about to get you into a discipline and help you unlock ideas. i think it would be really great for you. and me. maybe i'll start and we can talk about it.

I just started yoga about a month ago, but only make it to one class a week b/c of my schedule. I've been looking for a moderate to difficult dvd to practice at home. Anyone have suggestions of a good one??
Molly, if you are that into yoga, you may want to check out a subscription to Yoga Journal magazine (9 issues for $15). You can also sign up for daily email 'inspirations' and motivational hints to get you to practice. They also include new postures.

New postures, like the double-reverse-hucklebuck?

Yep, like double-reverse hucklebuck. That comes right after downward facing doggie style. Acutally, a good porn could present a few new postures to try!
