Is there Spring on the horizon?

Most miserable practice today. Even the fact that Aliya subbed did not help. My nose was stuffed, which made breathing problematic. I felt like a whale in SK, could not hold a bind. Got a cramp in right QL in UD. Felt exhausted by the end of the practice. Sarah and Rayna said that this is because of the cold weather, but I think it is the unfortunate combination of being fat, lazy and old.

Crazy thing with that watermain break! I do not envy people trapped in the cars and the rescuers in the cold water. I pray everybody is OK soon.


We have another lunch out at work today. How one is supposed to lose weight, I am asking you? Ughhhhh....

Alfia...I hear you!! The only thing to do is "surrender" until the holiday madness is over and just do what you can...she said as she sat in front of computer after a mediocre practice, eatting mac and cheese! And with the knowledge that there are 4 parties ahead in the next week to deal with!

We have plenty of time in 2009 to be hard on ourselves :)

Boodiba, Goa sounds great just about now! Congrats on escaping there soon!

Peace,
ABY

:)) I'm way, way less dependent about external heat for practice than I used to be, and Mars is a lot warmer than the cold & damp Yoga Sutra, but it being in the Fucking Freezing levels makes it much harder to leave the bed. Goa's highs are consistently 90-92.... Should be 'innerestin'.

Hi, everyone:

Just got back from lunch. Managed to be good and box half of it.

Came back to work and turned out that all NIH was dismissed! Because of the water main break there was no water pressure in the buildings. Who-hoo, better than the snow day! Though I do feel sorry for all people that will not have running water.

can they extend the recess to the 26th? :)

Oh Alfia, I'm sure it's much more about the cold and the yucky weather than about your weight. I've seen you, you are not large in any way! Silly lady! Although, I will say the heavy holiday treats, even if I indulge in just one or two, do make me FEEL fatter even if I'm actually not.

This weather actually makes me long to go back to Florida....and that's saying a lot.

One is not supposed to lose weight at this time of year!

Merry Christmas dear Alfia! I thought about you when I saw the water main break on the news here in Franceland.

Don't worry about stiff practices and an extra pound or two! It's Christmas. Cold, stressful, delicious, ridiculous Christmas. Right?
