Sometimes I go out like a ton of bricks. Sometimes I lie there waiting for the sun to come up. Sleep, I think, co-relates with how old you are. I am NOT saying that I am old but hey, aren't we all getting there? Anyway, I had a bit of the flu all weekend through. No, don't worry, it's not the AheeNee (AH1N1) flu. Just a normal sinus problem. But sheesh, people look at you like you have sprouted horns and became Lucifer when you sneeze these days. It's almost illegal to have the flu, you know.
Anyway, spent Saturday moaning and groaning and since I had the flu, I had the perfect excuse to go my mom's house where I feel like a daughter and not the mother. Being in charge gets tiring, you know. So, whenever I go to my mom's place, I have every excuse to be pathetically childish.
Then on Sunday, spent half the day either doing nothing or drifting in and out of slumber....like pig.
It's amazing because this morning, woke up and sent the kids to school and then went back to bed and slept like a log till noon! Can't quite believe it, I'm telling you - the work backlog. Groan...but I am sick, y'all! See? I get pathetically childish even in my own blog. Usually, I would struggle just to catch a 20 minute nap. After struggling, it becomes impossible to sleep, right? Right!
But these few days, I have no problems sleeping at all times, all hours, in all positions, on all types of surfaces! Amazing. I even skipped gym for sleep. That's....wow, for your info.
Anyway, tomorrow is back to gym for Body Step. Hope I don't break a knee cap after the sleep-holiday that I had these past few days.
Step, Step...and Away!
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...
