Yoga

Yoga, Yoga, you are no fun; But my doctor says you are the one?

I don't want to believe him; but alas I will try...
But understand at some point, I will breakdown and cry...

I tried a nice video, cause those people were pretty...
But I thought better lessons would have come from my kitty...

My cat thought it funny that I stretched like a dog...
So she taught me new poses that made me look like a hog...

During my yoga, sweat suddenly appeared...
I thought this was just stretching!!! now I'm 'a feared...'

Cow pose, dog pose, frog pose, OH MY!!!!!!
Fish pose, monkey pose, locust pose, SIGH!!!!

Why, oh why, can't we call it what it is...
Flatulence inducing, hard exercise schiz!!!

Many props to the yogis, who are limber and strong...
If your expecting me to join you, please don't wait very long...

Namaste


Funny, this pose was NOT on my yoga pose.

All in a Day's Work

I don't even know how to begin this post... Several months ago, my sister had this bright idea to do her first half iron distance triathlon. I have always wanted to do one so I told her if she did it I would do it too. Next thing I know I was clicking register now on the registration page of the Highcliff Triathlon in Wisconsin. You can read about some of the reactions I received when I announced to various friends that I was going to do this race here . Over the months my friends have taken on the challenge of being supportive and cheering me on along the way. This was no easy feat as I was on the training roller coaster. As the day approached, I thought about all of the possible things that could go wrong and right. I had visions of myself standing on the side of the bike course with a flat tire, me holding on to a lifeguard boat, dreams about wearing clown shoes for the run, and on and on... I also day dreamed about the finish line, what it might look like, who would be the...

I Have Multiple Sclerosis

One of my favorite bike rides ever! I have debated whether I was going to make this public for quite some time, however there really aren't any significant reasons why I wouldn't share. It hasn't impacted my life dramatically, and if I'm lucky, it never will. I also don't want to be a poster child, nor do I require or want any special treatment simply because I have MS. The thing is, I know more and more people who are impacted significantly by this disease and I feel compelled to help the cause. So for one purpose only, I am outing myself. Here's the brief story. Two years ago my tongue went numb, my arm went numb and I though I slept funny or had a mini stroke. I brushed it off as sleeping funny day after day, after day. Then my eye started twitching, among other symptoms. I decided I was simply crazy... After a while all of these symptoms became so infuriating so I went to the doctor. While at the doctor, he chalked it up to stress, but after a closer ...

On the Other Side of 2009!

Hello 2010!!! I promised myself no New Year's Resolutions for 2010. What I decided to do instead was write a list of 100 things I would like to accomplish in 2010, and I discovered something very interesting. About 6 years ago I was an AmeriCorps VISTA member in Maine and I had the good fortune of participating in training sessions with the most amazing facilitator. Not only did I get to participate in her sessions but on one of her visits to Maine I had the great pleasure of picking her up from the airport and spending a lot of time with her preparing for our training. We did an activity during the training that included writing down various goals (large or small, service related or personal) and identify which overall category they fit in when we look at our life as a whole. Some examples could be the following: Goal: pay bills on time Category: Finance Goal: Exercise more Category: Health I don't really remember all of the instructions from this exercise but what I do rememb...
