Amongst the multitude of new year's resolutions I made was to try to feel a tad better about myself. And now in April, a third of the way through 2008, I'm finally getting round to making a start on that.
My first ever proper diet hasn't exactly gone swimmingly so far; the very day I started it, I caved in and ate two creme eggs. But I am trying. It's slightly oxymoronic, but I never knew how satisfying hunger could feel. I just need to work on not giving into tempatation; the guilt after the gorge isn't so pleasant. I've been attempting to eat mostly fruit, yoghurt and cereal, I'm not really sure whether that's good for me or not. I'd like to lose some weight, but if I can just feel a bit fresher and less sluggish, that's be okay.
And today I started a yoga. I don't really know what I expected, but it surpassed it anyway. There were a lot of elderly ladies, including a ninty-two year old woman who was as supple and agile as me. I hope that says more about the state of her health than mine, but I wouldn't bet on it! The teacher was just incredible. Her voice was really comforting and she was so knowledgable. She told me that many people find inspiration through yoga and said certain aspects of it can awaken creativity, which sounds perfect for me; I'm not as ponderous and imaginative as I normally am or would like at the moment. I felt so ethereal during the session, whilst doing my body some good, so I'm definetly going to try and go as often as possible. I think she runs more than one class every day, so I might aim to attend at least once or twice a week.
