Candy!
Posted in ashtanga yoga, things i do to myself on 04/05/2011 09:24 am by karenI have serious problems with two kinds of candy: candy corn and Junior Mints. So I don’t buy them.
Last week, I asked someone on my team if she still had a book I lent her over a year ago. She thought she’d returned it, so was mortified to find she still had it. She returned it to me with a box of Junior Mints.
I tucked the box up in a cabinet over my desk and forgot about it, until I saw her catch a glimpse of it during our 1:1. I felt ungrateful for leaving it up there, so packed it into my bag and brought it home.
“Yay! I can freeze them and eat them three at a time.” That was my plan. Except, who was I kidding? I ate them all. I had a sugar hangover before I even went to bed. Then I was restless and had nightmares all night. I woke at 12:30, looked at the clock and thought, “WHEN will this night be OVER??”
Ugh. Not good. Practice was actually fine, which was a pleasant surprise. Despite my candy-consumption, I am suddenly on the other side of the winter vata thing. Feel really grounded and stable, even in the midst of madness at work.
Thought of the day: If an indication of progress in practice is reduction in muscle tension, I’m going to have to quit my job.
Happy Tuesday! (And just say no to sugar.)

dear Karen
i once remembered i lent a book to someone about 8 years after the fact. i traced her. i had not seen that lady since we both graduated from the same MBA program when i called her about the book. she looked in her library and found it. it was a limited edition book, private printing, on how to prepare for job hunting. if it was on another subject i would have not asked for it back.
