If I could lose weight and attain spiritual enlightenment on a diet of bread dipped in chocolate, while drinking vodka...I wouldn't need yoga...or this blog...or your encouraging comments to help me keep on trucking.

Yay! Success! Up before the dawn and waaaay before any of the crazies in the house are awake. Redo of the yoga from yesterday and BOOM, we are off and it feels great!

Yes you do, but I can almost guarantee that you don't appreciate it and, if that's the case, you're probably doing it all wrong.

And THIS is what it should make you feel like:


AHHHH...(and OMMMMM)
