The day after Thanksgiving I went skiing for the first time in my life! Michael, his mom, and I did some cross-country skiing on the trail behind their house. I only fell once, and I think I got the hang of it after a few minutes! I don’t know why I waited this long to try it out. I do realize that it is probably because ski equipment is somewhat pricey. However, so are computers and other things I’ve spent money on, so I guess it was an oversight. I plan to do it again!
I’ve also gotten back into doing Yoga again. I still really enjoy doing the OM Yoga in a Box for beginners. I’m in no way an expert, but I’m seeing some good results as far as greater flexibility, feeling less stressed, and getting better sleep. It was doing yoga that allowed me to make some other good changes in life I’m thinking. I quit caffeine about five months ago, and recently through Michael’s influence, I’ve stopped eating meat. Four months of vegetarian food has exposed me to a whole new world of great tasting food as well!
Winter is here in Minnesota! I’m liking that I’m not letting the winter stop me! More to come on Vegetarian food and yoga (and hopefully skiing too!) in the next few posts!!
