Guess who's working late tonight?

DH. So there goes my yoga, damnit. I'm not starting my practice again on a very good foot. 

Ugh need more sleep

This week isn't really starting out on the right foot as far as that is concerned. I thought I got to bed at a decent hour last night only to be woken up twice and then of course having a hard time falling back to sleep. Today is going to be rough. Tuesday is a heavy client day at work and none of my students are in to help out. I will push through though, I always do. Yoga later? We shall see. What's on your plate for today, friends?

Accountable

I had to work late unexpectedly tonight so I didn't get to attend a yoga class like I promised myself I would in the wee hours of this morning. I'm bummed but I wanted to be done for good with this plan so the client can finally come out of the facility, and so I of course can get paid. So that was that. I still have the whole rest of the week to make it back I keep telling myself, and I did go on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. It's hard to not get the yoga guilt when I'm trying to hold myself accountable though. Did you have anything unexpected come up today to throw a wrench in your plans?

Up early

I got up early today because I couldn't sleep. Came downstairs, made some coffee of course and threw dinner for tonight into the crockpot. I'm thinking ahead to what I have to do this week, trying to stay focused and positive. So far these are my top things:

Weather report this week looks glorious!

Pay day is Thursday!

DS finally has his appt with the developmental pediatrician and I have the day off from work on Thursday.

I organized my closet and drawers and came across so many outfits I forgot I have. Also scheduled a pickup for all the clothes I want to donate on Saturday.

DS is going upstate this coming weekend for the week to spend time with my family.

My week ahead seems pretty open in the evenings so I can yoga if I want to.

I am sure there's more I just can't think of right now since it's so early.

What are your top things to be focused and positive about this week?

Decent class

I had a decent class today. I was able to at least attempt all of the postures and only sat out in the middle of standing separate leg head to knee. But that makes sense because I pushed myself to complete both sets of triangle, as I had sat out for both in the last two classes I went to. It was also a brand new reacher today who I've never had class with, so changing things up a bit was nice. I am very much planning to attend tomorrow night's 8pm if I get a decent night's sleep tonight. I am also going to crockpot dinner during the day so I won't have that extra chore to do when I get home. Hope you all have a good work week!

Tracking some yoga

After taking a very long break after having a not so committed to my practice 2013, I decided to head back to yoga last Sunday 3/30. So far I've attended 3 classes in total and although for the most part the classes have been brutal, I'm really enjoying being back on my mat. I've been in a funk lately and also have gained a ton of weight, which hasn't helped anything. I think going back in the hot room regularly is what I need to stay motivated and remain in a good place in my head. I had all but decided I probably was not going to return again after not renewing my unlimited membership at the end of the year due to lack of use. Then, I don't know what it was, but out of nowhere last week the thought of the yoga came back in my mind.  I was sitting around not doing too much of anything, so I felt why not? I plan to go as much as I can, with at least a 3 day commitment on weeks life begins to get in the way. At some point, I also want to start going back to the gym some early mornings, to boost my weight loss. I have also slowly become more mindful of what I put in my mouth, and I'm trying to eat healthier overall.  This blog needed an update so I think I will use it to track my yoga progress. I'm actually heading off to another class in a few minutes. Wish me luck!

Boring blog

I feel like I've hit a wall on here.

In the past, I think that I've had a lot to write about that is social work related, but lately, that's hardly the case at all.

My clients tend to all be pretty stable, and if they do present with some kind of an issue, it's fortunately not something that is too crisis related that I require feedback from the great wide web on.

My co-workers are all decent people and on the occasion that an issue comes up with my student, I know that this is not the appropriate forum to write about it.


I'm still doing some minimal P/T work at my old company, and recently, I've started to peruse the want ads looking to see if there's some place else I may be able to pick up a tiny worthwhile gig without completely overwhelming myself.

I actually must say as well, that my son seems to be turning over a new leaf since he hit 5 around New Year's.

A lot of the behaviors that were making me practically go into crisis mode have almost disappeared completely.

I still have an appt. scheduled for him to meet with a specialist in the early spring, but am wondering now if maybe we won't even need it?

I contribute all of these changes to the fact that everyone is growing up around here.

With all this said, I'm not sure when I will be back to write or what turn I would like this blog to take. I kind of value my anonymity overall (even though there are a handful of people who know who I am IRL) so something like a fashion, photography or daily lifestyle blog is not my cup o' tea.

Anyways, I just wanted to check in to say I haven't completely fallen off the planet, but life is just pretty boring right now and I'm okay with that.
