Colorful Options

Back when I bought my yoga mat in 2008 the only color choice was black. Now Manduka mats come in all sorts of different textures, thicknesses, and colors. The Manduka is made to last a lifetime, so I won't be getting a purple, pink, or any other fancy one. It doesn't matter though, I really love my extra long black Manduka, and it still looks brand new. I was thinking though (making my hair even curlier), maybe I could paint something on my mat. Hmmmm. Yet another project to ponder. I'm good at pondering the projects, not so good at completing them.

New Yoga Mat

So, here's a picture of me doing camel pose on my new yoga mat. Ross also took a picture of me doing crow, but that one looks funny. I'm floating in my camo shorts. I can now pull them on and off without undoing the button or zipper (listen to me brag...). I rolled up the mat and put the two new straps on. Now it is all ready to go for yoga class tomorrow. I only did 35 minutes of yoga today. I'll double up on work outs again tomorrow.

So far I'm really pleased with the yoga mat. Tomorrow will be the first time I take it to class. We'll see if I have any trouble carrying (8 lb.), unpacking, or repacking it. I don't actually anticipate any problems using the mat.I've enjoyed the yoga pod casts I've tried so far. The only problems is that I don't know all the Sanskrit names of the poses, but I've been able to figure things out so far (or at least I think I have). I just noticed that in the photo it looks like I have NO boobs! They are shrinking, but I still have some. Haha. Time for tea.
