On the Road to Healthy…
So, remember when I said I was building up to 108 Sun Salutation As? Well, I did it. I actually finished a few days early because my ankle, back, and legs were starting to get a bit whacked out of shape from the repetitive practice. Still, the goal was achieved and I actually felt really…

On the way to 108
So, today I finished 70 sun salutations for Day 16 of my 28-day challenge to build up to 108 in one go. I wrote when I was starting it two weeks ago. When I woke up this morning, I was feeling keen. I thought to myself that it’s only another 38 rounds to the full…

28 Days to 108 Sun Salutations
So, I needed something to prepare myself for an online yoga class that I have agreed to teach *live* weekly. I must have been feeling weak in my desire to do something a bit more meaningful when I agreed to do it. ðĪŠ In any case, to ensure that my ankle is up for it…

Reminders to Self
It really doesn’t take long to follow the path of least resistance and return to old habits – whether deemed good or bad. M came back on Sunday. On Monday, we went out with friends for lunch and an evening out. My stomach was a bit in shock with the return to booze and food,…

Reboot Detox 2023
Every now and then, I try to do a fasting lemon water detox. The longest I have done is ten days of just lemon water throughout the day and no food with the exception of a smoothie at the end of the day when my brain thinks it wants food. The shortest I have done…

Plus, M is always “working”, so even when on holiday he is messaging, fielding calls, etc. Still, the environment has changed and we…

Ankle Recovery: Week Nine @Home with 0 crutch
So, this shall my last ankle recovery post unless there are some major milestones to share. This is because I am personally getting bored with thinking about it all the time, so I imagine it must be equally boring to read each week about the progress. Now that I am basically on the road to…

Ankle Recovery: Week Eight @Home with 0 crutch
It’s been a great week of almost normal walking. I’m still a bit of a hobbler when it comes to stairs or when I’m tired toward the end of the day. However, I’ve been green-lighted to go without the crutch in familiar terrain and home. So, all is well. I will do a full reflection…

Ankle Recovery: Week Seven @Home with 1 crutch
Last week was the last of the two-crutch walk, and on Monday this week I was OK’d for just one crutch to hobble on. In actuality, I could mostly hobble along without, but there are those moments when the terrain is uneven or unpredictable, so the crutch still helps. It’s been satisfying to be getting…

Ankle Recovery: Week Six @Home on My Feet
Don’t let the picture fool you – my foot does not like to be confined to a shoe! ð However, there has been progress. Two days of physiotherapy down with some pretty significant swelling that has been deemed normal for the situation reveals that the body is truly something strange and amazing. Trying to do…
