Resolutions

janestarzOne of my own resolutions (not necessarily associated to New Year, Christmas or Yule) is to get into shape and lose some weight. I'm getting more and more depressed with how I feel and look, so there's no time like the present. Eating less, eating more healthily, and exercising are good ways to start feeling better.
After closing DG some time was freed up, though the paper trials (sic) are far from over, and after the New Year I finally had enough free time to go back to the Gym. Though I was aiming to follow a Zumba class, Life Happened. Apparantly, I had looked at the wrong day on the schedule, and Zumba was from 19.00 until 19.45, while the Monday class was at eight pm. So when I arrived at the gym Zumba had just ended.
Instead, I walked into Yoga class.
I've done a few Sun Greetings in Larp settings, but nothing could compare to the odd positions and muscle stretchings of last night's lesson. Granted, I loved every minute of it, though the balance positions were really hard. It's not a sport I'd want to practice during my period either, but I'm definitely hoping to go regularly!
With the snow still blocking my abilities to cycle to work, Zumba and Yoga will be my weekly exercises, but I would like to continue yoga even when I cycle over 40 km a day. It will be good for my muscles to be stretched after they grow stronger.
Meanwhile, I don't think I've been this bouncy after exercising ever before, so yoga is definitely getting a stamp of approval all around.

Dank je voor het vereenvoudigen van een van mijn new year's resolutions!!

Date: 2010-01-08 12:47 pm (UTC)Ook ik zou graag gezonder gaan eten en meer bewegen, maar daar is ook dicipline voor nodig, die ik momenteel nogal mis. Misschien zodra ik weer ritme in mijn leven heb, dat het beter gaat. Ik wilde ook gaan fietsen, niet naar mijn werk, want dat is te ver, maar gewoon door mijn woonplaats. Maar met al die sneeuw is het niet erg aantrekkelijk om te gaan fietsen momenteel.
Heel veel succes met je voornemen. En er plezier in hebben en je er goed bij voelen is natuurlijk het allebelangrijkste.
Groetjes Margriet
