They be sore.
I started yoga again this last Monday. My work offers classes at a reasonable price and I’ve desperately wanted to do it again but never got up the momentum to bust out the mat at home.
The result: my tush is achy. EVERYTHING is achy, more than a jog or a session on the recumbent bike. But these are the good hurts. These are the hurts that make me smile, that tells me YES I have definitely worked my body. We even did a little meditation so even my brain (brwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains) got a little massage. AND I’m proud to say that after over 10 years of on and off yoga, I finally know how to properly do a downward facing dog. FINALLY.
My toe, on the other hand, is not just achy but it hurts. I didn’t stop to think about what yoga could do to aggravate my jumping injury, but it definitely made me hobble for the last two days. Tonight, after getting my nieces birthday gift done, I fully intend on immersing myself in a gloriously hot bath full of epsom salts and a glass of vino AND my Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.
In other news, work is rocking my world, I’m enjoying the pups, Cat has regained most of his sanity, and life is just all-round good. I’m blogging even more now on some family blogs; actually I’m continuing to just write more often. I’m finally ready to utilize that creative outlet and so my life feels that much more complete.
I can’t explain it, but I have a feeling that most of y’all out there are creative in one way or another and find it extremely gratifying to just unload everything on to a canvas, into a song, onto notebook paper, into wood, into the clothes or costumes you create.
That is certainly exercising the mind and soul right there: being creative.
I don’t think I can bring this post back round to my butt so I’ll just leave it at that.

A post written during a lunch hour last Friday: -----------------------------------------...
A Brief Moving LamentAh...the unpacking. There is something about it that I love, and another that I loathe. Upside: I get to decorate and putter around the house looking for the optimum placement of a particular knick or knack. Downside: Being under a deadline. Family in town in 7 days. Furniture delivery in 9 days. Gah....
I Suck At Facebook, Mickey Mouse’s Sage AdviceMy job has made an honest woman out of me. Not that I had much choice... No Internet access to Facebook, email, fun sites forcibly makes you productive. It's brilliant. Downside is that I'm never on. I do check periodically, or try to, at home, so if I don't...
Emotional upheaval. Period.My body has been going through some minor changes over the last couple of months. I used to be a 34 day-er, with minimal cramps, mood swings, nothing out of the ordinary. Then the month of exhaustion and discomfort comes, a month of ridiculous mood roller coasters and random food binges. I came at 28...
Guest Post over at Hollaback!I wrote a post about how to re-do your blog over at Hollaback Health. Great group of women over there; enjoy not only my post but everything else they have out. Excellent resource for bloggers! ...
Stages of Acceptance – A Fat Girl in a Skinny WorldOver at Hollaback Health, there was a post about Say Yes To The Dress: Big Bliss. It triggered a lot of resentment about big women singled out for being big and then subsequently exploiting and fetishizing fat women. I was in the minority in my disagreement. Mostly because my knee jerk reaction was...
Losing Faith in ScienceFrankly, eating clean is not easy when you are ruled by instant gratification and a strong desire for bagels and cream cheese. Lately, I've been really making an effort to eat "clean", meaning cutting way back on heavily processed items. If I want bread, I make it. If I want rice, I...
Eating the EmptinessA post written during a lunch hour last Friday: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Although this is sort of ironic to even post about this, let me tell you one of the things that I absolutely must improve on: negative self talk. I still have moments of self ridicule, of treating my body so poorly despite the fact that only moments...
Changing of the seasonsI don't know about anyone else, but once that great big ball of fire fails to be up before I do, experience a serious lack of hauling myself out of bed before 6:00 a.m. Mind: I've been up and at 'em between 5 and 5:45 if only to putz around the house, clean a...
I'm going through a massive organizational overhaul here. It is an extension of the newer look, easier navigation, better label/categories, etc. I'm going to try to stay away from actual posting on the main blog and tracking it all on the new page "Changing the Face of Diet Schmiet." Just so you know....
Sorry, I’m Not Sorry
Now that little message can be construed with a variety of tones. The first one that comes to mind is "bitchy." In your face. I just poured hot coffee all over you but since I loathe your existence, I'm sorry I'm not sorry. A *bit* much for ol' Loricious here, since the anger...
My life has been in a slight whirlwind of activity and I've let myself fall to the wayside in terms of nuturing myself and my delicate psyche. It's easy to lose sight of the goal when it passes you by; in my case a wedding and the subsequent BACK on those silly 5 stinking...

Everyone agrees that this is one of the best zucchini bread recipes around. My neighbors have raved, Mr. H wolfs down his fair share, and my brother wanted the recipe.
