working out for Disney

[Sans Souci]

I spent this morning with Shiva Rea and have decided her surf yoga practices are just a bit too far out. Back to the bottom of the dvd pile it goes and will come out when I've forgotten how weird it is. At least the weather and time spent outside more than made up for that. Tonight's dinner raw chopped veggies and beans piled high topped with evoo and lemon juice.

I have her "Yoga Trance Dance" DVD. Doing it made me think of those mysterious dancing hysterias that plagued villages en masse in the Middle Ages. I do that one with the curtains drawn.

Hello-

I did a back bend practice today. I can't still believe how tight I have gotten. Hopefully that will change over time. There was one "intestines" comment in this one. He said "take a deep breath and let that breath wash over your intestines." Wut?

Then I went for a long and sweaty walk. Tomorrow the walk will be early in the day.

I made goat cheese-mushroom quesadillas for dinner tonight. It is a Weight Watchers recipe, but my husband doesn't know that.

Ha! Black out shades, heavy drapes and an insulating window "quilt" LOL I also make sure to do that one when nobody else is home.

How I started my day for some reason I thought of AJ from the Disney food blog while doing it

Hello-

I did a shoulder opening practice and half an hour of pranayama meditation. I also went for a walk early in the day.

I had my ACs serviced (like I do every spring)three weeks ago. I went to turn it on and nothing happened. The AC goes on outside, but nothing comes out of the vents. My husband tried to fix it, it was working temporarily and then it would stop. My bedroom is hotter than blazes. The people who serviced it can't come in until tomorrow afternoon to fix it. Luckily, the AC that controls the older part of the house works, so I will be sleeping in the spare room tonight.

Probably doing some hiking in the mountains later. We're in Germany visiting friends who moved here a couple of years ago. Making spaghetti for dinner since they are at work the whole day today. But doing regular noodles instead of zoodles. I love zoodles, but I can't make enough of them for 8 people!! Well, 7 I guess as DS won't touch spaghetti, so he's getting garlic bread.

Hello-

I did yoga and walked. I think I mentioned this is a 12 DVD set? Well, it comes with a core workout that is 20 minutes long and doing practices that are 65-75 minutes and adding the core workout starts adding up. So, I haven't been doing the core workout. I kind of feel yoga is a great core work out as it is.

They fixed the AC. When we had the AC inspected a few weeks ago, the repair man didn't rewire it correctly. So, it was a quick (and free) fix and I am back in cool air. I ended up sleeping in my room. It was warm, but not unbearable. The thing that kept waking me up was the traffic outside, since I had the window open. Eventually, that settled and I got a few hours in.

Have fun. Are you going to do any stocking up while visiting. I remember you saying things are cheaper there

Yesterday was detox yoga with Fightmaster. No mention of intestines and such I also soaked up some more vitamin D before the thunderstorm

Things are cheaper there, but the area she lives in is kind of isolated and there is no real shopping there. I wanted to look for a new camera for our Disney trip next Summer, but couldn't because there is nothing there!! I was really surprised. We did go hiking for a few hours behind her house and then we went to the Monastery ruins in the next town. It's pretty cool...she lives in the last town before the border to what was East Germany until they opened the border. You can see the border line from the place we went hiking. You see this line and then the next town over. It's all incredibly beautiful there, and very peaceful, but there is no shopping to be had, and apparently Germany has VERY strict rules about working hours and rest hours. Like, if you are too loud on a Sunday, and your neighbor complains, you can get in trouble. The fine for mowing your lawn on a Sunday is 50,000 Euro!!! 50, 0000!!!! Isn't that INSANE? So stores can't be open on Sundays, and a lot have limited hours on Saturdays too....and there are quiet hours every day of the week. I think I'd go crazy living there...I had no idea it was like that. Great place to visit, but not for an extended period.

No mention of intestines.

It finally rained a decent amount last night. I have never had a problem with pollen in my life, this year I am sneezing and sniffling like nobody's business. I went for a walk yesterday and I could feel the pollen on my skin when I came in. It was a like a slightly gritty powder. Blah. Hopefully, the rain knocked some of that from the air.

Sounds like a you had a fun weekend and sweet hike.

I wish they would fine people here for mowing the lawn at 7-8 AM on a Sunday. I am usually awake my then, but I usually like to chill in bed or read the papers in my quiet house at that hour. It's not only they are mowing the lawn, they have a lawn service come out. It's a bunch of men with professional grade leaf blowers and ride on mowers going for it--it is much louder than a standard lawn mower. After 9, I don't care, it's when it's early, it bothers me.

Hello-

So, I think I found out the culprit of my latest stomach issues. I believe it is the kombucha I have been buying at Costco. I started re-adding certain foods back into my diet and I think this kombucha is the problem. Ironically, I started drinking it because of the probiotics. I'd been drinking this brand for a while, so I was surprised. I had the first bottle on Saturday and my stomach felt kind of funky, but it passed. I had the second bottle yesterday and within 30 minutes, I was doubled over in pain. I felt like my stomach had battery acid in it. I was googling around about stomach pain and kombucha and sites were saying it is a "healing crisis." Apparently, it's your body purging out toxins and you should keep drinking until it passes. Yeah, no. Severe stomach pain is a sign there is something wrong; not a "healing crisis." I think because it is fermented, it is just too acidic for my stomach. It's too bad, because I did enjoy this one. It was made with ginger and it was tasty. My son likes it, too, so he is going to finish the pack. So, no more 'booch for me.

But other than that, I did my yoga and my walks this weekend.

Well that sounds less than pleasant!! I wouldn't keep drinking it either! At least you know what it is now so you can avoid it.
