I’ve decided to take charge of my though process. Now this doesn’t mean that I am 100% accurate, have all the answers or don’t get emotional. The last four days have been an emotional roller coaster for me for many reasons. My heart and my head conflicting at so many points, neither taking a full win in any argument.
However, I am not letting this stop my plan to change my life. I spent an hour last night outside walking in the cold. I don’t think I will do that again and will instead kick my husband off the xbox 360 and workout in the living room, because I went out without layering properly and even though this is GA and it’s relatively warm, I was cold.
I walked/jogged and got my pulse to 156 for a short period even at one time. [Try jogging uphill when you're out of shape!]
I got home, tried out the xbox Kinect game demo for Leela [meaning "play" in Sanskrit] and did some guided meditation in the demo. I liked it so much I asked if we could put in on the game Q for GameFly to rent before we buy it. Since I am learning health and wellness and some of my favorite things to learn have been complementary and alternative/integrative medicine I have learned about yoga, and Ayuvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, etc.
The person guiding it is Deepak Chopra, and I have to say I am impressed with a “game” that can help me relax and that was only 1 of 7 chakras and one of seven things for each chakra.
I then did some yoga, and played some Season 2 Kinect Sports. I played baseball and tennis and got sweaty again. I probably should have done the cardio before the meditation, but it’s all good. I was up well past 1 am, but Tim let me sleep in today (minus the Dr. office wake up calls) so I feel rested. I’ve already done my 15 min of yoga today – modified. I will be doing some cardio probably later today.
I think instead of P90x I am going to do my own modified schedule using the same idea of muscle confusion but having more fun. We’ll see!

I’m trying to stay up to date on all of it! But I am also going to school as well, doing doctors visits and counseling. I am seeking out a holistic way to heal myself. Mind, body and soul.
