Doesn't have to be good. Just has to get done.

12/17/22 5k saturday

Occupied myself watching Prison Break again.

As a morbidly obese exerciser, I can tell you... it isn't easy but it is worth it. A 5k is alot easier than it used to be 80 pounds ago.

The trick is... as much as you want to make fast progress and go faster, your body might not be able to handle it.

Especially for bigger bodies. Someone asked my opinion on the 30 12% 3mph program that people were jumping on awhile back. I was honest. It sounds like an injury waiting to happen. When was the last time you just walked for 30 min, with no incline? Try that first. How does that feel? How difficult is it?

You need to use your resources to judge what is doable for you and your body. Just because someone on YouTube did it doesn't mean it is right for YOU.

I have spent most of 3 years working up to this workout. And sometimes it still makes my hips hurt and I took 2 breaks.

Is it as fast as last week's 5k? Hell no. But my lungs are a little fiery and I gotta go shovel snow soon.

So today, this was doable for me.

Reset

Readjust

Realign

As many times as you need to. Just don't quit.

And if 3 mph is too fast for you.... that's OK. GO slower! Start where you are, right now, no matter where that is. This was at 2.5. But it got done!

Cardio & The Watcher

Psych up and do it, sexy bitch!

The aftermath:

[rainyfestivalsweets]

Motivating myself to workout

By watching Mission Impossible 2.

The female lead is so amazingly sexy. Is it Zoe Saldana? I have to look it up. Nope! Thandiwe Newton.

How did I not see this before?

Beauty, grace, and collarbones- whoa.

4.7 miles elliptical

10 miles on the recumbent bike

2 circuits kettlebells

Had a meal prepped dinner 🍽 of roast and veggies.

Kicking back with a strawberry lime margarita.

Edit: adding a protein blonde brownie and some "light" whipped cream. I cut it into 4 pieces to make it last longer but it didn't last long tbh.

I am within my calories tho, per my calculations so no problem there. I read that having dessert regularly can help people reach their goals.

I have been treating myself (purchases) to lots of veggies and lots of single serving snacks. My goal is to have a snack if I want/need one. But the key is one pack! If I need more I have the option to add volume via jelly or sf gelatin, veggies, and protein. So instead of having 3 servings of chips, I have 1 serv chips, 1 serv celery, and a meat stick. Trying to work on that anyway.

5 Ways Meditation Makes Us Better at Yoga

Meditation. Yoga. The two go together like Batman & Robin (though with less capes… usually).

As spiritual health practices that have both found popularity in the West over the past 50 years, we tend to lump yoga and meditation together. Whenever we read of one, the other usually isn’t far behind. And when we’re shopping for yoga pants it’s no surprise to see a meditation mala in the vicinity.

Yet despite the obvious correlation between yoga and meditation, there are still countless people who do one or the other and not both.

Big mistake.

Yoga makes you better at meditation because it creates a relaxed body that is conducive to a relaxed mind. Not to mention, it also makes it far easier to get into lotus position without feeling like your legs are going to snap in two.  And meditation makes us better at yoga in five key ways. Let’s take a look.

How meditation makes us better at yoga

1. Meditation helps us focus on asanas

When we’re practicing yoga, we are, of course, exercising the body. But we ought to be exercising the mind at the same time.

Every time we place the body in an asana (pose), we should be focusing on that pose. By focusing the mind on the body while in a pose, we experience the asana in full. Yoga asanas offer many mental health benefits, but in order to glean those benefits, we have to actually focus on what we are doing.

Sadly, many people don’t leave their thoughts and distractions at the yoga studio door. And so they are not able to focus on the yoga.  

Meditation is well known to improve focus and concentration. And because of this, it makes it easier to focus the mind on the body when we enter a yoga pose. The result is complete mind-body immersion in the asana.

2. Meditation lowers oxygen consumption

One of the lesser-known benefits of meditation is that it changes the way the body uses oxygen.

Scientific research shows that meditation lowers oxygen consumption rate by 10%. This means that we are more able to control the breath during and after meditation. This is a game-changer for anyone who gets short of breath when practicing yoga. If that’s you, try meditating before doing yoga, and during your yoga session, take a few moments here and there to practice mindful breathing. This will help regulate the breath.

Not only does this help us practice yoga for longer, it also gives us more control of pranayama.

3. Meditation helps you to discover the philosophical aspects of yoga

While most yoga studios these days are more concerned with physical exercise than philosophy, historically yoga has been about both.

If you want to truly embrace the yogic lifestyle, you have to get in touch with the philosophical side. Meditation can help.

The yogic system itself includes many meditations, such as Trataka (Still Gazing), chakra meditations, mantras, and sound meditations (Nada Yoga). Not only do these meditation techniques help train the mind, they also prepare the mind-body for more advanced stages of yoga. After all, it’s hard to truly experience Pungu Mayurasana  (Wounded Peacock Posture) while you’re worrying about that business meeting.

4. Get too sweaty doing hot yoga? Meditation will help

Anyone who practices Bikram (hot yoga) knows what it’s like to sweat a little too much. But meditation can change that.

We get sweaty when our body temperature rises. But meditation reduces heart rate and blood pressure, and this cools down the body and thereby reduces sweating.

So if you’re worried you might be a little hot, sweaty and, yes, smelly when you’re doing hot yoga, try meditating.

5. Meditation improves balance

Feel a little wobbly in Warrior III? Meditation will change that, at least according to one scientific study.

Ying Kee, PhD, and his colleagues at the Nanyang Technological University’s National Institute of Education took 32 men and split them into two groups. Kee made both groups stand on one leg while holding a basin of water.   While they were doing this, Kee asked one group to be mindful of their hands, while the other group were allowed to think of anything they liked. Kee then tested the balance of members of both groups.

The results showed that being mindful of the body increases balance, where thinking about something other than what we’re doing will actually lower our balance.

So, if you want to stay in an asana for longer, be mindful of your body while you’re in the pose.

Anyone who is serious about getting better at yoga should embrace both the physical and the mental exercises. And of the latter, meditation is the most important.

By practicing meditation not only do we embrace more of the yogic lifestyle, we also prepare the mind for success in the yoga studio.

The benefits of meditation are significant, and they are invaluable when it comes to improving our yoga practice.

If you’ve been doing the physical side of yoga without practicing meditation, perhaps it’s time for that to change.
