Dang girl, you got all the boys up in here writing you. LOL!!

Pass some of them over my way!

My sis ran the Nike Marathon in SF this weekend. They had SF fireman giving them Tiffany's necklaces (metals). They were dressed in tux's too. I might have to get in on that next year.

How is your Mofo Diet going? I need to read back a few pages to see whatcha doing in here.
 
Good news

Hi guys! :waving:

I am back to 145.0 lbs today, miraculously (after the Bacchian weekend). I suspect that I have passed the ovulation and am in the luteal phase. For those of you who don't know, I pay close attention to my cycle as seems to correlate closely with my weight fluctuations. For me, in days 15-26, I usually experience the lowest weight of a given cycle IF I'm, you know, maintaining. Then menses comes and fucks it all up for a few days, haha! Anyway, sometimes I think I'm losing weight in the luteal phase when it's really just a drop before the next phase in the cycle.

Well, yesterday I had waffles and fruit, a 290 calorie pizza pretzel, a home-made tuna sandwich, and a Pumpkin ale. I went to an aesthetician appointment after work, where I'm undergoing a series of dermal rejuvenation to help with acne and texture. The thing that sucks about this procedure is that my skin peels off over the next few days and I'm not allowed to exercise to break a sweat for 2 days :banghead: You can imagine that pisses me off. Sooooo no running or kickboxing until Thursday. Fine! :smash: It's worth it, though--making my skin much nicer!

Last night was so cool! I neglected to eat dinner (I know :angelsad2:) and instead had about approx. 290 mL of some great Chardonnay and some rice crackers. I invited Chris over to assist me with BD and Yoga. Chris sat down and I began practicing belly dancing for an HOUR. I had on Tanna Valentine's DVD (man she is good) and was learning her moves, doing a lot of practice with my veil. I also practiced with my zills, and Chris remarked that I'm pretty good. But when I knock out 2 or 3 patterns, I start to LOSE IT and screw up :banghead: This is fine with me, it's all part of the learning process :D. Chris would tell me if I was going too fast, or if I looked like I was "trying too hard" or whatever constructive criticism he could come up with. Most of it was compliments :) But I wanted to get some practice in where I'm NOT looking at myself in a mirror, because I won't have that luxury in a performance.

After that, I showed him some Yoga moves and asked for assistance when I needed it. I think Chris really enjoys watching and helping me, but he's prim and proper and respectful, and since I'm his only and best friend, he's terrified of offending me! I always have to assure him that I'm not upset by his ramblings, as the diabetes screws with his head and makes him manic at times. He was in a LOT of pain last night :( But he said he'd much rather hang with me than be at home, alone and miserable. So I was helping him, in a way, too. I sent him home at about 10 and managed to turns the lights out at 10:45pm.

This morning I woke at 6am and went into the living room to turn on DJ Chebbi Sabbah and started my practice with a short meditation, then went right into a headstand. I really like headstands, they truly make me feel pretty good, and it's a great way to start my session. I did lots of Dancing Warriors and Vinyasas between each set of asanas, but I also wanted to work on hip opening. So I really spent a lot of time in but I didn't look as good as THAT guy :eek: It is hard to do that in the morning. I almost cried, not from pain, but frustration because a few months ago I used to be able to put my forehead to the floor without much pain. I can't really do that as effortlessly and I don't know why. So I also spent some time in Frog pose...well it's not exactly Frog, hmmm basically I'm on the ground with my hips out as much as possible and knees at a 90 degree angle, and to deepen the pose I lean back. It's not a comfortable asana but I'm getting sick and tired of not being able to improve my hip flexibility. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO FUCKING DO SPLITS, DAMMIT!!! :banghead: Front AND side splits. I'm ALMOST able to do front splits with the right leg in front, left leg is harder, and I'm nowhere near being able to do side or saddle splits. Sigh! I suppose it'll come eventually, like the headstand.....I hope.....

:drool5: Firemen in TUXES?? :drool5: I have a "thing" for men in nice suits--uh, hot men that is!

My diet started and ended Thursday it seemed, haha! But I'm back in business as of yesterday--I was 145.5 lbs last week and today I'm 145.0, so the weekend, although fun-filled and surplus-dominated (it seemed) didn't :boxing: me. However, I think it has to do with my cycle right now, which I mentioned earlier--but I dunno. I can't work up a sweat for the next 2 days so I'm going to watch my nutrition and continue with lots of Yoga and belly dancing :biggrinjester:
 
Well, sometimes I just try to sink right into a saddle split as far as I can go, then I stop and hold myself up with my arms and try to breathe into it deeper. That's usually only once a week when I'm stretching before kickboxing. Yeah, I need to stretch every day to improve on that--have any suggestions? can you do the splits?
 
I've always been able to do the splits, I'm adicted to stretching (yes even 9 months pregnant, though getting back up was entertaining:biggrinjester:). for saddle, I generally just lay down on the floor with my butt against a wall and let gravity pull my legs open. (I can just see the comments from Karl and JZ for this :blush5:) Generally I just lay there until my hips start to protest, then pull my feet back together for a minute or 2 and repeat. I actually read books while doing that. it tends to keep my mind from counting how long I do it.
Fair warning though, your legs will hate you the first few times you do this, and keep an eye on your alignment. don't let your knees bow. straight legs.

So cool, I'm going to do it! :D

Mama: Oh I know! Looks like another of those long processes I have to work on................:gnorsi:
 
Hey lady just checking in! I think for doing the splits you just need to do it every day and push a little further into it each week... your body will eventually give in. I assume you are pretty flexible in general so consistancy like anything is key....

I hope you're having a good week so far. 145.0! We are currently the same.... I'm really wanting to get into the 130s but I feel like my life is just to crazy right now... which is not a good attitude to have... its dangerous.... I need to eat better thats been my problem lately....

Anyway, hope all is well!
 
Hey Val :)

Doing the splits would be awesome. I need to definitely work on my stretching and stuff. Glad you had a nice night with Chris, that sucks he was in such pain... I truly can't imagine what it's like to go through what he's living :(

Good luck with those skin treatments, I bet they will work out really well. At my friend's salon school they offer a bunch of those treatments and he wants me to try one... He's tried some microdermabrasion with diamonds or something and really liked it.

Congrats on the weight being back down. I honestly haven't stepped on a scale in months. I feel really good though and don't think that I've put any weight back on... Sometime I will face the scale though, just not yet ;)

Things with Rick went exceptionally well last night. I've honestly never felt like this for another person before... so strange and fun :D I've been so smiley today everyone knows something's different, hehe. Hanging out with him last night made me like him even more. We talked about a lot of things and I think we're both on the same page with a lot. I'm just so excited to see where this goes.

Thanks Dee, all IS well :) thanks for the pointers--one thing about Yoga is it's so gentle and instructs you not to push yourself too hard, but it seems like I need to push past a critical point with my hips to go further because it's very much the same as it always has been (except when I was much younger--I didn't become flexible until I started working out a lot and doing Yoga when I was 19)

Ooooh with your schedule, I totally bet! Weird that you mention you haven't been eating well because last week I thought you were totally ON POINT with your diet! Must have had a fun weekend like me, eh? :party: Hope you have a great week too! :)

HAHA! :hurray: This is seriously the best news I've heard in a while. I actually was thinking about it this morning when I was driving to work, and I don't even know you in person! :biggrinjester: Watch out, you may............fall in love....
