Yoga

Today, I start yoga classes with a friend and coworker. What made me decide to do yoga? Well, I want to start feeling better and start getting into shape. Since Daryl and I plan on trying to have a baby in the next 2-3 years I want to be in better shape than I am now before we start trying. Plus I also want to lose 20 pounds. While I have started eating better, eating better is only the first step to being healthier. Along with that comes exercise. While I just said the one thing that I do not do on a regular basis I am going to start. Mostly because I will have the motivation to keep it up since I will be going at the same time as my friend. We are doing this as a team, to support each other. But there are other health benefits to yoga. Since we will be doing hot yoga... yoga in a 105 degree room, it will help relieve stress as well, as well as help with my asthma. Thankfully I haven't had a problem with my asthma in a long time but still I don't want to mess around with it. I want to help it. Yoga is supposed to help increase lung capacity as well. We will be going to Bikram Yoga here in Bellevue, WA close to where we work. http://www.bikramyogabellevue.com/index.html


On a work note, it is review time and I have to fill out my review and figure out where I want to go within the company and what I need to do in order to obtain that goal. While it means more hard work is ahead for me in order to achieve my goal, I think it will help achieve the overall goal of using my education that I worked hard at achieving. Yes it will also cost me some money for the training, and while I probably could see if the company would pay for it, knowing that everyone is having to shrink budgets because of the economy, I'm not going that route at all. I will see what I can do when I decide to move forward with the additional training. I know I will do it but it is just a matter of time and money. For now, I need to finish filling out my review. Figure out what my strengths are and where I need to develop.
