Back In The Alps


I am again loving every minute of this charming place except for its cold, cold weather. My body aches for the sweat and the yoga practice that it is used to. Though I am still able to insert a practice here and there in our hotel room, it is the type of practice wherein it tests my own attachment of not completing the primary series. I held up well. My acceptance has made me detach from this thought. No matter how many Surya Namaskara A's and B's I do, it is still physically impossible for the muscles and joints to get "oiled" up in this freezing weather.


One consolation I look to is that I am aware that the the body burns more fat in very cold weather. With this in mind, I try my utmost best to control my food intake over here so I use up more of the fat in my body as opposed to adding to them. Food here is dairy, bread and pasta based. Carbohydrates overload to help keep warm. Though very yummy and are absolutely one of my favorite dishes, it is not very good at all for my "agni." I am desperately calling it my "controlled cheat week," eating at least a little bit of everything except meat. Thankfully, I still tread on the consciousness of what goes inside my body-- which is more warming foods and liquids.
