Why can't every weekend be a 3-day weekend?

I've really been enjoying my 3 days off of work. I believe that if every weekend were a 3-day weekend, we'd all be a lot happier. I've been able to do lots of errands, cleaning, and organizing. I know, b-o-r-i-n-g! But, that's exactly how I like to spend my free time; just taking it easy. I spent 3 1/2 hours yesterday cleaning after bikram, which I have been able to attend the last 3 days at 9am. It's been hard going in the morning due to the stiffness (especially in backward bending, ouch). But, it has been really great going several days in a row. Although it feels like just a week or so ago that I was still going to bikram everyday, it has been 6 weeks since my 60 in 60 days ended, and I have been missing the constant yoga. It has been almost harder not going everyday; I over think postures, and the class in general. I have seen in the last 3 days, that I've let go, and just gone with the flow of the class. 

My odometer finally hit the magic number
Who's obsessed with 3's?
Oh yeah, that's me :)
Next is 333,333

I was told after class today that I am "so graceful," by another women. It was sweet of her, although I really didn't think she was watching me seeing as how she was on the opposite side of the room as me this morning. I was told "beautiful," by my teacher during the second side of toe-stand, as I held both hands up for about 6 or so seconds. I certainly was not my most flexible {evening classes are best for flexibility}, but it was a good, strong, focused class for me.


I decided to treat myself today and bought a little sippy-sippy [aka vodka]. I've had one glass of wine and nothing else in the last 5 weeks. I took two shots today, and now... I'm tired. I really, really was on the fence about drinking at all, because I've been living quite pure when it comes to what I put into my body, but alas, I just had to give in. Was it worth it? Eh, probably not. I was at home after all, sitting, not the best place to get energetic and enjoy myself. 


As far as my eating, I've been sticking to fruits [a LOT of fruit -- ridiculous amounts], veggies, nuts {love almonds, cashes and macadamia nuts}, and a hard boiled egg or so a day. I feel great eating this way; I get to eat a lot of food, and I consider the lovely sweet fruit as a type of treat now. No sugar, dairy, flour, or grains since the end of July, and no meat since... probably mid-July and that was just salmon [no chicken, beef, etc since who knows how long]. It may seem boring, but I love how I feel eating this way. Maybe that's why I am so tormented by my two shots today. Oh well. Gotta let go...


Hopefully everyone is enjoying their Labor Day. I feel boring, not partying, bbqing or vacationing, but I am ok with that.


Namaste
