Yo Wei

what a weekend. nothing this morning as i had to fit in laundry and

pick up viola. she spent the night with our scout leader and her family

while dh and i went out. a little indulgence with japanese hibachi(they

use a BIT of butter) and we split a slice of cheesecake(on the house

for our anniversary how very nice of them). i didn't feel so guilty

splitting a slice of cheesecake as i would have had we each had our own.about to get ready for bed and my second to last week of work i wanted to fit in yoga. yo wei is

a neat little yoga workout that i haven't done in awhile. its more

strengthening then stretching but its not power yoga b/c you move

slower in controlled manner. it uses small weight balls, i only have 1

pair which are 2lbs each. its plenty for this workout b/c i wasn't

looking for a tough strength workout but the ball help not only hit

smaller muscles for a functional ascpet, i also feel it helps with body

alignment awareness. b/c you are holding the weight you are more aware

of the alignment of your hips,shoulders, and back in the poses as you

don't want to hurt your self just swinging weights no matter how light

they are. the instructor leads in voice over and doesn't mirror her

cues so it threw me off at times but i was able to stay with the flow

for the most part. i didn't have to look at the tv much, i understood

the cues for the actual exercises. she does some nice ab work but its

not long or intense but its nice and moves i could use at the gym on my

own. it ends with a short stretch. no vinyasas or anything just moving

one move to the next in a strengthening manner although some of the

poses will flow together like doing a downdog into a plank for push ups

etc. i wasn't in the mood for endless vinyasas tonight so this held my

interest better.not sure why i don't pull this one out much, you don't

NEED the weight for it, the workout will work just as nice without it

and its under an hour so not sure.hoping with all the spring

dvd cleaning i have been doing i can fit in little gems like this here

and there. i have a few on craigslist already.hoping it goes well if

not will figure out another game plan. not really interested in trading

right now. i have plenty of great workouts and not much room to hold it

all LOL.off to bed have to go to work in the morning blah! i

will miss my paycheck over the summer but i will sure love the break

from that job LOL.
