I am back from vacation! It was a wonderful time on the beach - lots of digging, playing soccer on teh beach, swimming, walking, and all of that. We came back to closing on our new house so we’ve been VERY busy but it is all good. Miss you all here and wanted to give a little update on these habits that have formed and re-formed. First, let me just ask you all to send som elove out to Angela and her daughters if you haven’t already. They are recovering from a serious car accident. Angela is an Angel on BS and in her own life and could use all of your angel energy right now! I know she will make it through but it never hurts to have love sent your way!
Now onto my habits…
Should I start with the good or bad. And, by bad I mean not so helpful, useful, or in line with what I want. Yes, seems like I should start there.
In with the old - UGH! 
I am back to nightly TV watching and eating. Eating alot and even my hubby got in on it on vacation - the nightly eats. Now, it’s a hard to kick habit again. And, when I got rid of this habit before it was one of the most effective weight loss and feel good strategies ever! Just stopping the binges I would lose weight every week. Now, I am gaining and more than a pregnant gal needs to gain, I think. Most importantly, how much popcorn, chex mix, paul newman cookies, ice cream, pasta salad, or whatever else i can find and/or buy does a little baby need at 9 or 10 at night??? NONE!!! So, there it is…
Now, the Good habit that has formed.
I’ve been getting up and practicing yoga in the mornings. It started on the beach vacation on Wednesday when I was up early and actually got out of bed and walked down to the closest beach at 6:30 in the morning because there was a Yoga class at 7. I made it and I did it and it was great! Then later that night I did a prenatal yoga DVD on my own. That started a daily practice where the last 2 mornings of the trip I got up early and went to the morning class, then practiced again at night to a DVD. I also went to sleep by 10 each night (even though i was binging, i didn’t stay up late - that part was good!)
Since coming home Saturday I went to yoga Sunday, and then got up this morning and practiced. Yesterday I tried but lost the DVD and by the time I found it 30 minutes later my son had woken up. By the way, it was right next to my mat on the table…Today, I got up and practiced again.
I LOVE yoga!!! I always have, but I am really going for it now. I was nervous about the new classes on the beach but it was so great. The more I try and step out of my fear the better I feel!
I need to change that first habit that just clings to me and that I cling to. In the meantime, I hope the getting up early will inspire more early to bedtimes and less nocturnal noshing. I also need to get back to blogging and may try to be on the Binge thread a little more regularly…
okay, outta here for now!
