Yoga Prenatally

Currently Craving: chocolate -- i dreamed about no chocolate last night and it was not a good dream

Yesterday was a total blob day. i keep saying i didn't get anything done.. but that's not true i did get things done, but i just felt like a blob all day.

i woke up achey from practicing and then teaching yoga for a few hours on Monday so i decided it was best to give myself the day off from practicing yoga. so instead i could not get started. i wandered around the house and checked email and facebook and was generally a blob. and i spent most of the day on my bum either in front of the computer or the TV or the sewing machine or sewing in front of the TV.

by the end of the day my body had HAD it! i felt like Babe was living in my ribcage and my pelvis was so heavy it hurts to stand on one foot because of the pressure on the other leg (i think i may also have some round ligament stuff going on). then last night we went to a Weird Al Yankovich concert (something i enjoyed more than i thought i would but never really need to do again) and luckily we had seats. but by the end i was seriously uncomfortable. so that sealed it.

turns out... i have to practice yoga every day until the end of this pregnancy. otherwise i'll feel totally squished and uncomfortable (i know that may be unavoidable but i also know yoga can help). not to mention, when i practice yoga my day just goes much better, my body and mind get organized, and i feel like i can accomplish things rather than feeling like i'm wandering with no sense of direction. so that's my goal. some sort of practice every day. it doesn't have to be headstands and it doesn't have to be an hour or more... it could just be five sun salutations or a sweet restorative practice... but it has to be SOMEthing. yesterday was ridiculous!
