Well I did something that I do believe I've never done before ... bought something because of an infomercial!!  My furry friend sometimes likes to get up and go out in the middle of the night then I am left trying to go back to sleep.  Thus, the TV comes on.  I stumbled upon the P90X  infomercial and there was something about it that totally grabbed my attention.  I think it was the personal trainer Tony Horton.  He wasn't over the top annoying and I liked his concepts.  So the next day I did some research online, no I don't usually impulse buy, and found I should check out his more intro program Power 90.  After doing more googling I came to the conclusion I really have nothing to lose there's a full guarantee of refund up to ninety days.

So on Sunday I started the program, and I have to say I really like it!!  I have a long way to go till I'm ready to go to P90X, but by the same token seeing how he operates it's totally doable.  A lot of the stuff I am familiar with and there are certainly some things I will have to work to be able to do properly but I love the way he mixes up the the routine.  Some yoga, free weights (dumbbells), boxing... it's actually fun.  And it's not so long that it's not manageable.  Lots of stretching and I haven't really been sore much.

This was exactly what I was looking for and so far I look forward to the daily workouts!!  You can find it at www.beachbody.com

You have to check out this site and the videos Playing for Change. And follow them on Facebook fan page so you see the latest videos! They just loaded the Keb'Mo' one on facebook and it is as usual when it comes to Keb'Mo' awesome!! I got to meet him last year because he was in town for a concert and he's a vegetarian so I got the pleasure of talking to him at the local veg restaurant. And rambled on about Ayurveda!! But hands down a great guy, very tall!!

Letting go of things…. Letting go of mementos…. Letting go of days gone by….

Sometimes you have to let go in order to make room for the future.

People who hang on to everything they’ve ever owned drive me crazy. Or even more annoying is a person who has really nice items that they never use because they are saving them for a special occasion. Let’s get real everyday you wake up and take a breath is a pretty special day.

My family = pack-rats… “never know when you might need that”, “might not be able to buy something nice again”… if you look at the root of most of the pack-rat phrases for keeping something it usually has negative twist or has a hint of fear of the future….

How do you find solace after a hard day? What helps you stop to breath and find your own thoughts? It is so very hard sometimes to find ourselves let alone hear ourselves.

My mind seems to go 90 miles a minute and wears me out. There are so many thoughts polluting my mind that sometimes my voice is fully muffled. How can I follow my gut instinct if I can’t even hear it?

I have to find a way to stop and breath. There’s meditation, yoga and for me music. Alas, music soothes the savage beast.
