Day 54

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 8:12 pm

Hi!
Well, I went a bit activity crazy today!  Started with my regular yoga set, then did laughter yoga, then did a 75 minute yoga flow class and I ended the day with my belly dance class.  Whew…I’m tired and ready for bed BUT not before I floss!  Have a good sleep!

Day 53

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 8:54 pm

Good Day!
I have been noticing that I am waking up without the help of an alarm lately.  It’s often about 15 – 20 minutes before my alarm is set to go off or if it’s a weekend, I am waking up very early in the morning even if I have been up late the night before.  I am wondering if the regular yoga practice has something to do with this.  Maybe my body’s way of making sure that I have the time to fit my yoga into the day before anything else happens.  Hhmmm… I’ll have to keep an eye on this trend.  I haven’t noticed anything similar happening in the flossing arena though.  Frankly, I think I would be annoyed if I was waking up extra early just to floss!  Have a great day!

Day 52

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 8:45 pm

Hey there!
I am thinking about changing up my yoga routine a bit.  Each of the poses that I do are timed and I have been wondering if it’s time to up the challenge by adding more time to each of the poses. The bigger challenge for me is making room for the extra time it will take so I am going to keep thinking about this idea.  The flossing remains relatively uninteresting and I’m not sure what I can do to spice it up.  I have to confess that I don’t really feel like I have developed a flossing habit yet as there has been more than once that I’ve had to drag myself out of bed at night to floss because I realized just as I was drifting off that I didn’t floss all day.  Hence, there is now a package of floss by my bedside!

Day 51

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 8:42 pm

Hi!
So, how did you celebrate?  Making it half way deserves some recognition.  Don’t forget!  I started by having a chai latte.  That is a treat for me and I rarely have them so I thought this would be a good time to do it. My next part of the celebration will be a massage (I couldn’t get an appointment the day of ’cause I wasn’t planning ahead!).  As for continuing, I did my yoga and flossing today as usual!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Day 50!

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 4:26 pm

Woo Hoo!
We are half way through the 100 Day Challenge!  How awesome is that?!  I’m pretty amazed at myself actually.  Even this morning I had a brief thought about skipping my yoga practice today but when I realized it was day 50 I got myself to the mat!  50 days is a long time to do anything so I definitely think this is worth celebrating.  I hope you are celebrating too.  Whether you have missed a few days here and there, missed a few weeks or showed up everyday, give yourself a big round of applause…in fact, I highly recommend that you ask your family, friends, co-workers or anyone in the general vacinity to give you a standing ovation!  You deserve it! 
So, let me know how you will be celebrating this halfway milestone…I want to hear about all the different ways you will be acknowledging your accomplishments!  Congratulations!

Day 49

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 7:06 pm

Hi!
I am going backwards!  Somehow, I seem to have become less flexible again instead of my hoped for, more flexible.  I wonder if it has anything to do with my being flexible in other areas of my life…hhmmm.  I think I’m pretty flexible for the most part but maybe there is an area that I need to look at like…the toilet seat doesn’t always have to be down or maybe we can skip potatoes for supper if we are having popcorn later…something to consider! I am using flexible floss and I’m flossing at a variety of different times during the day so I think that area is covered for flexibility!  Well, I think I’ll experiment with this flexiblity theory and see if it has any affect on the yoga.  I’ll keep you posted!  Have a great day!

Day 48

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 4:26 pm

Hey!
My routine is a bit unsettled today as we have company and my usual yoga space is being used to house the company!  So, instead of saying “Oh well, I’ll just skip it today”  I found another spot in the house to do it and squished myself in there.  It was harder to do when I didn’t quite fit but I got it “dunn” just the same!  Sometimes you have to improvise a bit in this challenge but the key is to do whatever you can to complete your challenge for the day (even if you are a bit squished!).  Have a great day, everyone!

Day 47

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 4:15 pm

Hello!
Monday’s can be a tougher day for me to fit in the yoga practice.  I have to get up at 6:00 am to do it before I start the rest of my day and it is often a day where I do yoga two or even three times!  I have been doing a set routine of poses every morning for the challenge and then every Monday I also lead my Laughter Yoga club.  We don’t do yoga poses but we laugh for 30 minutes which is a work out in a different way.  Then I will sometimes stay and do the yoga class that is offered at the studio where I lead my laughter club.  That didn’t happen today, though!  I laughed and then went for breakfast!  Flossing didn’t happen until much later in the day (evening to be exact) but it’s done for today too!

Day 46

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 9:22 pm

Hi!
We have a few Easter eggs around the house today so flossing is definitely on the agenda today (but I thought I would wait until the end of the day just in case I needed to eat a few more eggs…).  Probably a good thing that I am doing yoga everyday as well because I have a weakness for those little mini eggs – they’re so tasty and little that it’s easy to pack a few away!  I’m hoping that the yoga will help to balance them out!  Have a lovely day everyone!

Day 45

Filed under: 100 Day Challenge — Deb @ 9:14 pm

Hello,
45 days…wow!  When I look back I feel like I have been doing this challenge forever!  I don’t know if that means it is becoming part of my routine or if the whole experience had been pure drudgery!  It hasn’t actually – it has been a great learning process for me and there’s still more than half way to go.  I wonder what else I will learn in the next 55 days.  I’m sure there’s more to learn…even if it is a new way to floss!  Have a great weekend!
