Downward Dog, Cat & Cow...

Yesertday we started a 10 week Yoga class at a local park.  I loved it.  It was difficult, but not impossible at all, and I felt great afterwards.  I wasn't sore at all, though I had been feeling the burn, a lot, I went to bed thinking nothing of it.

Then I woke up this morning.  OMG! I think that yoga class was the best workout that I've ever had.  There's muscles that I didn't realize I had that got worked... I know cause they are BURNING and sore today.  I've going to do someone of the stretching moves we did yesterday (leaving out the strengthening ones) to see if I can work them out.  I've also going to do some research on Yoga, it's moves, etc. and see what I can learn.  My interest is more piqued in it than it was when I was taking it before.

I consider this a workout SCORE!

I hope to eventually work my way up to more advanced yoga, however I don't know if I'll ever be here:

The course will go over 10 weeks (1.5 hours each Saturday morning) and then will start again.  There are some ladies that have been going for years.  For now, we'll take it 10 weeks (1 term) at a time.

Next week we may not make it to the class, since we have Color Me Rad in the morning and we may not be ready in time.  Also, over memorial day weekend we won't be going, since we'll be in Florence camping.  Other than that, we'll be there, rain or shine, getting our burn!

Not deleting the past; decisions for the future; moving forward

I thought about deleting all the old posts I have on here,  and "starting fresh"... but that's not really a fresh start is it?  Sure, the past wouldn't be here, for anyone to see if they are looking, but it's still with me, still haunting me, so best to make peace with it and let it lay in the past. So here I am, 3.5 years after my last post and approx 30 lbs heavier. I made a decision last week, to have bariatric surgery.  I've decided to do it in the past, 15 years ago, but I switched insurance companies and it was no longer covered.  I thought that was the end of the bariatric road.  Someone recently suggested that I do it - I told them the insurance thing - and they suggested something that no one had mentioned before, and it never occurred to me.  Pay for it myself. So I am.  I'm going to do it. I have an appointment in a month.  It was the earliest available.  Hoping to be able to schedule it for late May/early June.  I'll still have my H

Kale Chips!

Why have I not discovered these before?  Oh the amount of kale that has gone to waste this summer that I did not use in my morning smoothies in time and it went bad. I've heard of homemade kale chips for a long time, probably a couple of years, but I didn't know how easy they were to make until a few months ago.  I'm not sure why I didn't try to make them before, maybe because it was too hot to turn on the oven, maybe I'm forgetful and would just forget, or maybe it was some other reason. But today everything changed.  I got a bunch of kale in my CSA box today and I immediately came home, looked up some recipes for inspiration on Pintrest, then did a little of each that sounded best... and made two batches (the bunch of kale was pretty big). As the second batch baked I tentatively tried a piece from the first batch - ranch kale chips.  I was shocked.  I didn't hate it!  I took another bite.  I was shocked again, I didn't even dislike it.  Another bite

A lot has changed in the past year. We moved from Oregon back to Florida.  I feel like a person split between two homes.  I love being back near my family, and I enjoy working in the location I'm in now, but, I miss the life I had, and the people who were in my life back in Oregon.  We haven't found our niche here. We did something we've always wanted to do - we became Disney Annual Passholders.  I love it.  We've already used our passes several times in the few months since we've gotten them and have two more trips planned in the next two months or so.  It feels great to be in a place in our lives that we can do something like this, when it seemed so far out of our reach a few years ago. Recently, this weekend actually, I also have learned that another family member has had bariatric surgery (several years ago)..  I'm going to be contacting his office this week to schedule an appointment as soon as they can see me, and my schedule permits, which will prob
