Routine

Humans are creatures of habit, we've all heard this a thousand times.  I am one for routine, but I also do enjoy changes of scenery every so often.  Now that I've been at my new job for about 8 weeks now I'm settling in to a habit/routine of my own.

I've gotten myself  back into Yoga and just need to keep it up; City Yoga here in town is great.  They changed hands a little over a year ago, and I stopped going (again creatures of habit).  But I've been there about 2 weeks now and Jan, the new owner is such a sweet lady.  The practices are all so different from one another due to the different teaching styles of various instructors, and of course the different yoga that is practiced.  

I've been taking a Hatha, Vinyasa and Freedom Style.  The Sunday Hatha class is very relaxing and refreshes me for the new week.  Vinyasa, which is today, is more strength based and definitely makes you work the hardest.  The Freedom Style class is a fun, very upbeat practice; you can tell the teacher is very happy to "be here now."  

To add to my "reborn" yogi lifestyle, I also have been eatting no meat for the last 2 weeks.  Trying to do an experiment and see how I feel after 30 days and then I'll go from there.  I was eatting a LOT of red meat, I mean a lot- probably 4 out of 7 days a week.  Too much.  Anyway, I watched a few food documentaries recently and it is just too hard to ignore the facts out there once they are smacked in your face.  

I highly recommend watching Forks over Knives and The Cove.  I'm not telling you to become a vegetarian tomorrow, just watch them and take what you learn and apply it as you wish; or ignore it as I had been doing for far too long.

It is honestly not that hard to do, and yes I'm getting all of my protein so I'm not going to wither away on you(directed at worrying family & friends).  I'll write more about the vegetarian "diet" soon.  I hope your having a great week and thanks for reading!
