Got stress? When then you need a stress reliever!
I'm not sure if all of you out there are in need of some stress relief, but I sure am. People deal with their stress in a variety of ways. Some take a nap (which is a person favorite choice of mine). Some have a glass of wine (which could be nice as well). Then some turn to exercise. I've been trying to turn to exercise because with all the oily food that I've been getting here in Georgia, I'm a little worried that I'm going to blow up like a balloon!
Usually my form of exercise here in Georgia is pretty limited to going for a run or walk on the Boulevard. Tonight I wasn't feeling it too much. The main reason was that I ate way too much at lunch with Chuck and James. It was really great food and I'm not sorry that I ate what I did. It was fabulous! Thank you "Tiki Hut"! So running/walking was out because of the "beached whale" feeling. What did I do? One of my favorite exercises: Yoga!
I really miss doing yoga on a regular basis. Off the top of my head, I didn't remember too much. That was a bummer. Shortly after starting, I remembered a certain powerpoint that I had saved on my computer. When I took the Yoga class in River Falls with my bestie, Kelly, we had to do a project, 30-Minute Yoga Workout. That is still on my computer! So I turned on my relaxing tunes and the powerpoint. It was amazing! I'm pretty sure that this is the tightest my muscles have ever been. Especially the back of my legs. My downward facing dog was not the greatest and I couldn't balance to save my life. The wall was my new best friend. I kept thinking, "don't fall down, don't fall down, don't fall down." I'm sure that my back is going to hurt tomorrow, but that's okay! The benefits of my yoga workout: my stomachache disappeared, my headache is gone (perhaps the 4 Advil finally kicked in), and already feel my flexibility coming back! Slowly but surely :)
Maybe the 30-Minute Yoga Powerpoint will become part of my new routine. It's definitely more fun than running.
Until next time. Adventure is out there!
