Okay so today was a day of self-discovery. I have felt the itch to try Yoga for a while now, but haven't. Some part of me thought, "Well, it isn't Christian and what if I get tainted?" Today, I tried it anyway. The lady we are staying with has some beginner Yoga dvd's so I thought, "I am going to try this and just see how it feels." It was awesome! Let me explain:
There I was...the picture of relaxation...and it felt wonderful. I didn't know my body could feel so good! I was doing things that seemed so simple, yet I was sweating and breathing hard and my body was saying, "Thank you!" I know and LOVE my Jesus. I know He is my power and strength. Although there may be some negative connotations involved with some Yoga practices, I think my body is going to enjoy it thoroughly. Besides, I would not give up my Jesus for some Hindu "god". Too bad there isn't a Christian Yoga or something. Maybe there is. I'll have to check it out.
All I know is that walking isn't a certain religion. Aerobics isn't either. Why should Yoga be a problem? It felt great and my body thanked me for it.
I felt so good afterwards that when we went out to dinner, I ate salad and soup. We went to a wonderful Italian place and I ate salad and soup! That is something in and of itself! It was delicious and I felt better by eating right.
Oh and on a side note: I discovered that a Hair Straightener is my friend. I think it made me appear to have lost 10 pounds and that is good. SO.....what does all of this have to do with God and weight loss? Well, I felt in touch with my body for once. Usually I feel very disconnected. I was so in tune that I felt wonderful and I know that was a gift from God. He is so good. Thank you, Lord, for the great day!
You this this hun
