breaking the rules...

today i'm having a party. right now. all by my lonesome on sunday morning. my party consists of eating red licorice while my steel cut oats simmer. that's right...candy before breakfast...uh-huh...
charlie's still at ouray until tomorrow night, so i took the occasion of my zone diet boyfriend being out of town to go down the forbidden aisles of the grocery store. since thursday morning, i've been consuming a steady diet of "non-zone" red licorice, coconut macaroons, chocolate, nacho chips with cheese dip, and pasta. all the stuff i gaze longingly at as we pass by with our cart filled with egg substitute, reduced fat cheese, whey protein and zone bars. don't get me wrong...the zone definitely works...but every once in a while i get these amazing cravings and a slice of wheat toast with yogurt on it just doesn't cut it...

the other thing i've been thinking about enough these past few days to finally act upon is getting some workshops going at the studio. i love workshops because they tend to light the fire of possiblity...there's so much more time to spend on the progression of a posture that students begin to see the synthesis and understand that with practice they might be able to get there. the class is filled with those moments of realization where you can literally see the dots connecting. usually it's in direct conjunction with overcoming fear...empowering, that! inversions, vinyasa transitions, arm balances...the stuff i'm addicted to. addiction...attachment...i know...i guess i'll just have to do more yoga to learn to let go.
