Update

On Tuesday I got to visit with Randy who affectionately called me "germ girl".  Last week it was "slime girl" so I think that's an improvement. LOL!! I got taken off a couple of herbs and put back onto some of the basic vitamins-- B, C, D3, and a new herb-- horehound which is for coughing and phlegm removal. So I think that part is going to see some results soon. I know I have been using the bathroom a whole lot more the last few days, so my body is getting rid of something!! There is movement with all this coughing and congestion etc. that I have. I was in a constipated phase of my irritable bowel cycle and I still lost 1 lb. In two weeks,  it isn't the loss I would like to see but at least it is in the right direction. I have to also consider the fact that I have been building muscle. That is noticeable in my yoga warrrior poses. I think my arms are stronger. It sure doesn't hurt as much to hold them strong, anyway.  Randy doesn't think I will need to see him again now until the beginning of May. May 14th was the soonest I could get in with him in May at a time that works with my schedule. They are busy people over there at Alt Med. But I can tell you that they are busy for a reason. They are good at what they do.

As for yoga, due to family issues for Kris, this week was a bit different schedule. My friend Julie and I both met with Kris on Wed evening instead of Friday and my Tuesday class. We learned another vinyasa which I need to practice today at home. We also learned the beginning of the sun salutation. I really honestly did not think a person could work up a sweat just standing still, but I was wrong!! I really put in a workout on those poses.  One thing I did learn is that evening classes aren't the best for me. I don't mind them occasionally, but we go to bed far too early in the evening for me to be getting blood flowing after supper. I felt great, until I started to stiffen up. I am not sure exactly which move we learned that found that new muscle in my back, but I think that muscle would have preferred to stay asleep!!  It complained all day Thursday.  I was full of energy Wednesday evening, though, until about two hours after my normal bedtime.  The best part of that is that it should mean I was burning fat. :)  That's the best thing!!  So occasionally I don't mind that evening burn. It's all good!!

Namaste
