Back onto the mat.

Last night I dreamed that I was blogging.. I do not remember what I wrote exactly (wouldn't that be great), it was really refreshing to know that I am ready to get back into it.
I also had let go of my yoga and meditation practice at the same time that I had stopped blogging (weird...), but now little by little I am trying to get back into it. It's funny that sometimes we let go of the things that really makes us feel better (and those things are usually good for us) just because of lack of time.. We always seem to be running and never have time to slow down and breath.. to be constantly on the go is not for me: I need my mat, I need my downtime and I definitely need some rest.

Bye Bye Lumps..

They are officially gone! My lumps, my bazookas whatever you want to call them, have officially deflated. I have never been one to covet thy neighbors assets but lately I have realized that I am on the shorter end in some areas.

After having a baby (or babies in my case) most women usually think about how they are going to loose the weight and get back to their original goddess selves; that was also my case a couple of months ago. After baby #2, I was sure that things would never revert back body wise.. well, I was right; don't get me wrong I did loose the baby weight but I surely did not get my old body back.

I only had set myself up to loose some of the weight as I am not a fan of the size small (on me) and I really do like a litte junk in my trunk (the hubby likes that VERY much too) but for some reason all the exercises and yoga streches did nothing to revive the shriveled and flat lumps and chompas; but I am not one to despair nor give up 'I will get my lumps back!'.


At least one person is cute and chubby in this family

Success..

"The only real success in life is living with an open, loving heart. This allows you to connect with the Divine in yourself and in others."
From 'Living your yoga' by Judith Lasaster

I am a SWAN.

A couple of days ago I too a 'yoga personality test' (yall may or may not know that I am a born again yoga fanatic), I am still thinking about what the results showed:

you are the swan

you are a stable, steady and calm, and seek peace in your relationships and world.

when life is in balance - you are loving, forgiving, and devoted. by far, the most compassionate of the three.

when life is out of balance - you can be stagnate and lethargic, which can lead to weight gain. (so right!)

though you are drawn to a slow steady practice, which brings out the best in you - you may also want to try a more invigorating, heated practice to balance you, like bikram or power yoga. you should avoid a practice that is too sedate, opting for a more dynamic approach either in breath, asana, or preferably - both.

your challenge is to tap into a powerful energy moving the prana throughout the body. try starting each day with a series of 5 sun a and 5 sun b salutations, beginning and ending with bastrika or kalabati breath to build heat, cleanse and energize the digestive system.
avoid spicy foods like mexican or indian - and be sure to eat lighter breakfasts and dinners, saving big meals for lunch. try raw fruits and vegetables. drink hot water, with lemon juice and ginger in the morning.

I don't know about doing the series of 5 sun saluations a and be in the morning.. with baby Zazou my plans are not always the ones that come first..

Psycho Yoga

I have been doing this challenge called WOYOPRACMO since the first of january, the challenge is that I have to practice yoga for at least 10 minutes (hopefully more) during the whole month of januray, and report about it over at my WOYO page... but it has been very "challenging" with the baby:

This is what I posted today.. or is it yesterday since it's now 12:30AM:

"The baby thinks she has won today because I did not practice any yoga... well its 11:45 pm and she is finally asleep.. I think I am going to do some breathing exercises (breathing is good) and off to bed... I must be losing my mind for doing yoga at this time instead of going to sleep.. my husband thinks I have gone off the deep end!

Or maybe I am psycho because I'm talking yoga to a baby! "

I know it is going to get better the older she gets.. but I can't help but feel so overwhelmed and tired. Maybe I just need some sleep.
