Showing up is hard to do…
I wanted to skip yoga today because I was feeling sorry for myself. A family crisis at home sent me to an emotional cliff. But I went despite my feelings and I am glad I did.
I tried to push myself as if the mat was a punching bag. Each time I did so I lost my balance. I came back to the breath. I still have eight more sessions in nine days. It will be hard to make it through but harder still to give up.
Here's to showing up when we feel like giving up.

Lose 10 pounds
May's challenge: Lose 10 Pounds
This month's challenge is to lose 10 pounds.
The Plan
To lose weight you have to burn more calories than you eat. Simple math. So why are diets so complicated?
I decided to take everything I had ever read or tried and combine them in a simple formula: KIF.
Kinetic Focus: Exercise everyday.
Inner Focus: Ask yourself, "Will I feel guilty if I eat this?"
Food Focus: Be a vegetarian.
If you are following along with my little experiment, here is the official "warning": Before you begin any exercie or diet program, consult your doctor.
Okay, so there you go.
Three simple ways to stear myself to eat less and move more.

Every month a new challenge. I'm not A.J. Jacobs nor am I Julie Powell. I can't live out the Bible in a year or cook all the recipes in Julia Child's cookbook. But I can do something for 30 days. A commitment to do something for 30 days is reasonable and I am a reasonable person. I just want a challenge to shake things up, mostly for the better. I just might find something interesting along the way. Besides, if you don't like what you've tried, it wasn't habit forming.
