December!

 And I blinked, and now it's December.

Yoga classes are cancelled due to the Covid traffic light system, which means people will be denied entry if they do not carry a vaccine pass. Considering the yoga teacher is an anti vaxxer it is understandable that she is not in a position to stay open. Both teachers have said yoga is not about denying access to anyone and although I don't share their views on being anti vax, I at least applaud them for their integrity. They are, at least, genuine in their beliefs. I will miss their classes, but honestly, at this point in the year, I am tired, and I am glad not to be going out (although the classes were refreshing and beautiful), and with Auckland out on the loose, fresh from lockdown, while community cases still rising, I am quite happy to stay at home.

So I have...again...restarted DDPY in my wee yoga space. I don't enjoy it like I do my local yoga, but I do feel like it is making my body work...with the exception of my tennis elbow has flared up again and I am pretty sure it is down to the DDPY. I bought an adaptor for my phone to plug in to my old computer monitor, so now I can play the app, using my phone to bluetooth to both my speakers and my heart rate monitor.

And again, I am attempting to modify my diet. 

I came across an old photo of my ex gym-buddy and I doing our bi-athlon Oh my gosh. That was 6 years ago and we were both awesome. We looked healthy and we looked like normally weighted women (although I remember at the time wishing I was smaller) it seems like a lifetime ago.

Christmas looms. The days are going by in a blur. I am ready to hit the re-set button for 2022. Still a lot tog et through for the end of year. I just need to get to that point and take some deep breaths...and start again.

 Hmm. Clearly, I am going to need to do better than this! Weeks/months of time slipping by with little or no progress. It is frightening how many times I think "You've had second chances". So hard to get motivated when you can do so little! But how much of that is an excuse and just plain laziness? Can I really do so little, or am I giving myself license to do so little because I feel so blah? Back to one of my earlier posts, about maybe not being able to live the lifestyle I would like, as I simply am not able, HOWEVER, there is nothing stopping me from living a version of the lifestyle I want....I have all the beginnings of what I need, including a ton of books and you-tube how-to clips. The food growing thing goes hand in hand with the better eating thing. Tonight I will try (again) to start a carrot ferment. I have bought some plain salt. I think I may have used iodised in the past which is not optimal. This morning I woke early. Daylight saving has just ended, and I ...

Any progress is good

 When your progress is miniscule, you really need to take the time to be thankful for just where you are at. I have made some very small efforts in the garden. Planting the tiniest amount of carrots (a skinny little row, no more than 2 feet long....and then 2 weeks later, I planted another. I am hoping in another 2 weeks I should see definite signs of the first lot, so I can fill in the holes...and plant another 2 feet. Lettuces have gone in, but only after the chooks had had a fair go at them. A cucumber plant has been planted. I have a watermelon to plant but currently it is still in it's pot inside the glass house as some frosts are likely.  My son is due home this weekend, and mid next week he is due to go into hospital for some dental surgery, which I am dreading. Meanwhile, I have yoga two nights a week. Tnight being the second night (and I.Am.So.Tired, that I don't really want to go...but I will. It's progress.

November!

 And zoooom. Just like that, it's November. Have had an incredibly busy couple of weeks. I injured my arm and haven't been to Krannon's gym for at least 2 maybe 3 weeks, and I doubt I will get there this week. I am KNACKERED.  I have been to the doc though, and had blood tests...and my pre-diabetes has escalated again so have a referral to a dietician, and...although I have been there and done that, I think I really might be running out of second chances, so...this is it. Some changes ahead. There needs to be.
