all part of life

The yoga front..

When we first started going to Yoga, 80% of the classes we(MIL and me) attended were 5:30 AM classes.

Somehow between her going to India and me taking up a new job, switched to doing Yoga in the evening. 

Now, I have officially become an evening Yogi.. even on weekends! 

We start off with 100+ % attendance with the 60 day challenge, work very hard to keep it going till about the 100th day and then watch it taper off to a steady 75%. 

Then summer comes, other outdoor activities, travel will compete for time and before you know it, the end of the year will see the graph repeat itself. 

Well, not this year, or so I tell myself. 

So far though, the data I track shows that it is almost one for one compared to last year. 

and here is the interesting part.. my weight after coming home after class (or at 6PM if I miss class) over time.

Looks like the weight over time tracks too. Given I am a creature of habit, maybe the factors that all go towards the weight (food, exericse, travel, etc. ???) change for me over time in a very systematic way? Do not know. Will track it for a few more years and we will see if that is true. 

One would think though that in winter months the weight will increase because of less outdoor activity and in summer it would decrease. This says the opposite. I am wondering if there are others out there who have tracked their weight with a fixed exercise regimen and seen similar trends. If you know of someone or such data, do let me know!

For now, the Yoga continues when it can!

All it takes..

A conversation just before bedtime.

Little One : You have to sleep with me for at least 15 minutes today till I go to sleep. then you can go to your bed.

Me : I have work to do. 5 minutes and that is it, okay?

Little One : What do I have to do for making you thaacham (sleep) for some more time? Chainsaw you to the bed?

Me : !!!! Did you mean to say Chain me to the bed?

LO : laughs out loud and says "I guess so.. if I chainsawed you to the bed you will be dead! ha ha ha"

Me : That was not funny!

Somehow yours truly has become a very serious dude these days. Used to be a lot more funny even three four years ago. Don't know what happened over time. It is time to take life a little less seriously and start thinking funny... writing funny!
