Alta! *she said innocently, feigning shock* what is so hilarious??? My ability to steer everything to SEX in the end? Is that it?!?! :rolleyes:

OH! The kiss you mean---very very very funny :D
 
Emelianenko has claimed that he killed a bear by trapping its head with a fork-like staff and stabbing it in the heart with a knife. This is a traditional, but not common, way of Russian bear hunting

Alex is the shit. I feel kinda bad for him though because despite his bad assery and tattoos.......his brother could still kick his ass in about 10 seconds. You would think that if you were one of the top 10 baddest heavyweights on the planet you would at least be the baddest dude at Thanksgiving.
 
Oh, you're going to enjoy the Belly dancing SOOOO much... okay, now I'm jealous... I haven't danced in at least a week, so TONIGHT is the night!

:party:

All right! You GO for it! Remember: whatever you're good at and makes you feel accomplished and happy is what you need to be doing. Indolence creates feelings of inadequacy, ineffectualness, and depression--all which spur bad habits, especially over-eating for people who struggle with that, like us. This isn't a personal slight, Anke, this is a MESSAGE TO THE FORUM in general!

AMEN to that one!! I've fallen into that trap a number of times. I keep crawling out. Someday I'll learn how to avoid it. :willy_nilly:
 
Oh Gawd I am SORE....

Ugh!

I feel great, but Monday I did 6am yoga, weight trained at 6pm, and did over an hour of yoga at 7:30pm.......then yesterday I did 6am yoga, belly danced at 6pm, and did over an hour of yoga at 7:30.........

My inner thighs are SORE!!!!!!!!! :ack2: All that Virabhadrasana......"Virabhadra = the name of a fierce warrior, an incarnation of Shiva, described as having a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet, wielding a thousand clubs, and wearing a tiger's skin" WELL Virabhadra must have also had a thousand pains in his fucking legs, too, because staying in any one of those poses (I, II or III) is hard on the thighs!

OK, well, belly dancing works out parts of the leg that seldom if ever get activity. Word to the muthafuckin' streets on THAT one. :iagree: Also, have you ever moved your hips like you'd "scoop out an avocado"? Heh heh, not really something that happens so often, is it?

Class was interesting. Rebekah asked me within 15 minutes of class "Are you a Leo?" and I was like, "Uh, yes I am... Can you guess my rising sign?" and she said, "Aries!" and I was shocked. "Nah--close--Sagittarius," and she was like "all that FIRE!" Damn straight. And I wasn't even talking. Crazy. I must have some kind of brightass aura....

And in Yoga, with a new teacher, Delana, I had a good time and felt centered and strong and happy, also very proud because my ujjayi breathing was damn near perfect. After class I went and introduced myself to Delana and she said "Are you new in town?" and confused I was like "No, I been here for a while, I just decided to start coming here [to the Ashtanga Yoga Institute]," and she said "Oh, because your practice is so strong I thought you might be new to the area and just coming in," and I was taken aback and trying not to be beaming with pride (not very yogic ;)). I explained that I practiced with Moondance at my gym and she knew Moondance (Rebekah also knew Maura, the teacher at my gym who introduced me to Belly dancing last year, apparently this town is fucking SMALL). I also explained that I was waking up at 6am to do yoga every morning to David Swenson's book and Delana was like, "Oh yes, I also do yoga to that book sometimes :)"

It was a good deal all around, but I was surprised to find that my new instructors appear to see right INTO me when they look at me. These chicks are NOT closed off or obtuse--I feel absolutely metaphorically naked and exposed when they look into me. But that doesn't bother me because as always, I have nothing to hide and everything to offer in regards to sharing peace, joy, and happiness :D but yeah, apparently I have some kind of bright presence. Maybe it's the absolute joy I've been feeling lately. Or the chakra meditation I've been up to.......more on that later.

Yay for inner thigh soarness!!! You know if feels good... dont even try to hide it!

Damn girl you are working it out!!! That's alot of yoga!! Sounds like you are really doing well... I won't lie I tried yoga once for a semester... and didn't really like it, my best friend TJ however loved it and still takes it, but not near at the same level you are.

Happy HUMP Day Gorgeous!

Pitfalls and accomplishments make up human life, don't they? :D Never give up! For me, I think, drinking and not getting enough sleep and eating too much sugar all screwed up my equilibrium. My new lifestyle is really very effective for me, in the sense that I feel great and feel like I have a cornucopia of good vibes to share with others instead of being tired, hung-over and ineffectual. For me, drinking = lots of excess calories, hangovers, and loss of REM sleep. Loss of sleep means lack of focus, excess stress and hunger hormones, and the inability to temperate my eating. This kicks in the vicious cycle of "Why me?" until the next time I can get good sleep and start a day over, and properly. My current lifestyle is sort of making each day proper. So I'll keep doing it until maybe I lose focus. I don't really want to go back, though--or at least, I'd want to have far less "off" days than I did.........

It really seems to work well for you from what I've been reading. That's fantastitc!

I've been in what I call a 'Spiritual Coma' for a while, but I think between doing the yoga in the morning, and reading your inspirational postings, I am starting to come out of it. Heck, I may even meditate again soon. :biggrinjester:

Fire... I LOVE Fire! I have surprisingly small amounts of it in my chart, I'm an air sign with rising and moon being water (Libra, with Cancer Moon & Rising). But I make up for it with my love of fire. Part of why I love to work with metal so much.

Wow I would LOVE to think I'm inspiring someone to goodness :D Shit, I may just start dancing on the funk and shaking my booty now! :party:

I love Libras. Especially the women, lots of Libra men I meet who don't know astrology tend to be totally thrown off by being ruled by Venus, and usually act all weird....the women though seem to be extremely intelligent and I adore that :) I have a moon in Aquarius, which is the opposite of Leo. This leads to something interesting:

"You were born with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius. This immediately shows a basic conflict between your individuality and your personality. Outwardly you are attracted to the uncommon and unorthodox. Internally you resent this irrational inclination for the unconventional because you are rather dignified and proud. The Sun in Leo gives you a commanding, powerful, and generous disposition, which is not in agreement with your personality. Your personality comes under the rulership of the Moon in Aquarius. You are seen by others as a freedom-loving, independent, radical person. However, your personality is limited, in that you often stress your own ideas to the exclusion of everything else. Your demands for absolute freedom and privacy are very insistent. Your life goals will be completely out of the ordinary. You will conduct studies of an unusual nature, very frequently going to the very old or the very new. The key to a better integration of your being lies in harmonizing the strong passionate nature of Leo with your thirst for the unusual, lent by Aquarius. In this harmony lies the secret of total spiritual evolution."

Word! I'm getting there...............:party:
 
This morning I was really excited about getting out of my warm bed to do yoga in the cold living room. Weird.........:troll:

I weighed in at 143 lbs this morning--now back in my goal range :party: I really want to be back at this---> soon http://weight-loss.fitness.com/before-after-between/10851-curvie-girlie-158-138-lbs.html#post225802
But I'm very satisfied with my trajectory. :hurray:

I did Suryanamaskara A once only, then B twice but it's getting boring because I only have about 40 minutes to do yoga in the morning if I want to be at work on time, and that includes prayer and chanting too--so I went right into the Standing Sequence (of Ashtanga Yoga by David Swenson) Fundamental Asanas (standing positions) - from Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Practice then I tried some of the Primary Sequence moves Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa / first series) - from Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Practice I am absolutely NOT to that level and cannot manage most of it but I'm TRYING. I need to work on the "flight" or getting from downward dog to THIS: Fitness.com - Free Exercises, Fitness Equipment, Customized Workout, Fitness Programs, Fitness Articles, Beauty Fitness, Weight Loss, Weight Training, Diet Plans Basically jumping through the arms and landing on my ass, but upright. It's fucking harder than it looks, man!

Inversions and balancing poses make people think "Stupid yoga, what the hell?" but in all honesty, doing them really makes you feel amazing after--and not just all due to the fact that you were able to do it at all, at least with modifications! There is something to it, that I'm discovering may be the reason why people have practiced those poses for thousands of years....

I got into Lotus and got my book and read the chakra mantras and chanted them and clanged my chimes together after each one and visualized the chakra's color and meaning in my mind while I did it:

Lam--Mudladhara--red--root
Vam--Svadhisthana--orange--creativity
Ram--Manipura--yellow--energy
Yum--Anahata--green--heart
Hum--Vishuddha--blue--expression
Sham--Ajna--indigo--intuition
Aum--Sahaswara--violet--consciousness

I do NOT have these memorized. I'm tryin'. I got Svadhisthana memorized :D

I AM very good at picturing these centers light up within me while I do this.

What kind of metal work do you do?
Click to expand...

Oh, a little of this and a little of that. I've done bronze and iron casting, metal shaping, blacksmithing, etc. I've also got some automotive projects that could use some (a LOT!) patch panel work, I'd like to do it myself.
 
Very cool. I'm trying to teach myself blacksmithing. Running into some problems with forge welding, but I'll work it out. I built a full shop in my back yard, but I haven't done anything all summer. It's kind of hard to get out there and light up when the weather is so hot. Now that it's cooling down I'm thinking about it more and more.
 
Very cool! I know what you are talking about. Weird thing is, though I really do wilt when it gets too hot, I can stand near a blast furnace, cupola, or forge when its really hot outside, work with hot metal, and the heat doesn't really get to me too much. Maybe because I'm so focused on the metal that I don't think too much about how hot it is.

Forge welding... I never tried that. All I know is you need to get the metal heated to the point of white-hot, almost molten. There's that fine line. I've seen blacksmith friends of mine attempt it, but haven't seen much success. Must be quite an art form.
 
Yeah, it's all about heat, air and clean. get those three things right and you have about one second, maybe less to hammer the pieces together. :smash:

I like it, though. I'm glad that I don't do it for a living, though. It's just for fun for me.
 
That's soooooooo cool that you can do all that you two--esp Phoenyx's ability to do automotive panel work--that shit costs an arm and a leg if you take it to a body shop!!!! :eek2:
