supine track full

today's practice was the supine asanas of VK, for the right leg. my practice has taken an hour recently and the first half hour consists of warmpup poses - bhanda warmup, pranayama, chanting, hip opening asanas, gomukasana, chest opening dropbacks, surya namaskaras. that leaves half an hour for the poses of that day, wherever i left off the day before.

weight has crept up on me. i need to once again track what i'm eating with the COM software. i asked the nutrition list suggestions on how to prepare food with my new anticipated longer-hour schedule. my friend in Japan responded. to practice CR correctly, i should only be eating at breakfast and lunch. i remember that means having some fruit at night, what Grimmly is doing now. that means eating a low calorie filler (guar gum puddings) twice a day. i have only been consuming one at breakfast. i will take the mixes with me and have one after lunch, to keep me full. i don't take easily to feeling hungry. the fillers help my CR. learning is remembering, in my case remembering what worked in the past.

Hello,

Ooooh I admire people who can control their food. I can to an extent, it's just I so love to eat...I love food. It's a constant practice in awareness and discipline for me. I have been trying to drastically cut down eating after work at 10:00pm, but after a long busy day...I'm hungry. Also have a husband who likes cooking and wants me to eat!! :D However reducing the amount allows me to almost spring out of bed early in the morning. Hmm I need to practice more. Good luck to you, thanks for the inspiration. xx

Dear Eshter
thanks, it's not easy to control. mostly is educating oneself on what foods are nutritious, avoiding high caloric food empty of nutrition and preparing food right. it takes discipline, as you say. yoga helps because if we don't observe good nutrition, we can't practice.
cheers
Arturo
