Yoga

I've been home a week and have commenced the new chapter of the lifetime that I was wanting to when I left for S.E Asia. Basically, and this is an overlap from my other blog, I had been having serious problems with being/self identifying as Theravada Buddhist. Too conservative and just not interested in things like combining meditation and lifestyle. Also my being an Aspergers and that aforementioned conservatism didn't really work that well.

Any way, the recitation of the soap opera over, I have added yoga, weights and Kegel exercises to my morning routine. I'm performing Sun Salutations for the moment. This week it has been one Salutation...which means I salute with both my left and right sides...so two complete sets of asana.

Next week I will perform two Salutations and the week after three until a maximum of five is reached.
I'm back watching my diet...essentially the same diet as I had before we left for overseas. I did manage to lose an extra 3 kg, which makes me 97 kg. I would have lost more weight if a tablespoon of sugar wasn't added to absolutely every drink. Didn't like Indonesian beer which was the happy combination of being bad & expensive.

The weights take three forms: the lighter 5 kg dumbells in the morning and the 10 kg & 20 kg sets in the evening. Just realised that I have a 20 kg weight with handles that I an lift as well...may as well use it.
The goal is being at 90 kg by my birthday in May. I went to my GP yesterday and he's increasingly happy with my progress. So's the wife.
Must go...I need to go to a farmers market to buy fruit.
