Today I did things that have needed doing for ages, decluttered, threw out 3 bags of rubbish and a bag ready to go to the charity shop, cleaned down sides, re-arranged funriture and closets and generally tidied up. Even managed to make dinner, which doesn't normally happen! This was in between feeding, playing with, changing Lily.
Also lit a candle and got the incensce going whilst I cleaned. Listened to a crash course in miracles on my ipod and listened to a Ronan Keating CD my sis had sent me for my birthday which I thoroughly enjoyed. Also managed to enjoy the wonderful weather and the gorgeous sunshine streaming through the open windows and doors.
Was tempting after the busy, but productive day that I had not to go to yoga, but I knew that was not really the spirit of things considering this is only day two.. Walked down the hill to class and really enjoyed it, but since attending the basics workshop on the weekend I now feel that there is so much that I don't know. Am scared that I might injure myself, particulalry wary of my lower back. We were supposed to be gliding into the moves, but my legs were clunky and heavy and as for my core.. hmmm, less said about that the better!
Decided to focus on my breath during the class to try and get it right. Not sure if I succeeded, but it did feel a little bit better. I did not have my watch on me and I found myself thinking many times, that must be nearly it. My hopes were really high when the teacher turned down the lights, but alas another pose that I can't remember the name of was soon upon us!
With regards to my diet, had chocolate and diet coke today, but only had a light dinner of vegetables and a little bit of herb chicken breast. When I came back I had a yoghurt and some seeds which I really enjoyed. Normally I would reach for icecream of chocolate, but I did not want that.
Read the first week from the book, really interesting stuff and the philosophy is right up my street. Realised what foods I need to eat in order to cleanse and shed this excess weight. Have only got up to law two, but will read the rest tomorrow.
Was about to go to bed when I remembered the meditation... actually did it and am very pleased. I got a fright as I was visualising seeing out of my thrid eye and had read that you might see things when the sensor light outside sprung on. I could feel my heartbeat quicken and I gently opened my eyes and realised that our resident bandicoot no doubt had sauntered past completing his various noctural adventures. So no vision tonight.. It is now close to midnight and am thinking that I should be sleeping peacefully, but am typing away.
Am contemplating publishing this, but I can here my ego saying wait, proofread it change it..., but what the heck I am going to press publish.
