Another one bites the dust!
Down one more pound to 195.5!! Yes, this is a low I have not seen in about a year! Granted far from my overly ambitious goal of 2.5 pounds a week, I have lost one pound and the weigh in is officially tomorrow.
As for today, the Weekenders party went well. I ended up with two pieces - one end of season sample (draped tank top basically in “blossom” <pink>) which ended up costing me $27.00 and a black halter dress (which can be worn 8 different ways and I HOPE will look ok on me as she only had a small one. ) I was thinking I could take that when I travel on my honeymoon as it is dressy enough to wear out but easy enough to pack. With my hostess credits the dress cost me $14.46 instead of $70. So, I can afford to make a buying faux pas at that price, right?
Ann, please explain breathing through alternate nostrils to me. Is it one nostril and then the other one or alternating between mouth and nose breathing. (I never realized how complicated breathing can be!)
It is very cold here..and I mean VERY cold here. OK, I am sure it is not as cold as the Praires, but still.
Let’s see what other news do I have??? I did get one interview for an assistant head next year. (I am presently Head of Spec Ed but want to move to another area so am expecting I need a demotion for that. This job is assistant head of the Arts - sounds like more fun, doesn’t it?). Anyway, I think the interview went well, but I am a drama teacher and they are a music focussed school. Also, to hire me means losing their beloved drama teacher as I would bump him out of his position. Soooo, I am guessing the dude in the 3 piece suit who was interviewed before me (and I am guessing is a music person as drama and visual arts people do not wear three piece suits!) will get the job. Still, that was a posting from round 1 and there are 5 rounds of postings - so 4 more to come. There is time… I really just wanted a feel for the types of questions I can expect.
Oh, and the dog is doing well! (You can see him- and me- under our health category). His more recent tests still place him at borderline thyroid problems but the results from the Cushings test improved. I am hoping it is the supplements I am giving him. The vet said I could put him on thyroid meds but I opted to wait until his annual physical in May. Supplements usually take a few months to kick in.
OK, that is all the news fit to print!
Cheers all!
Lots of things to yay about!! Glad to hear about the dog and the lost pound.
Breathing is really so key to how we feel. We’re just not aware of it most of the time until we start yoga or something similar then we notice it.
Best page I could find on it was: http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/pranayama/basic/viloma.asp
I don’t really do all the counting, I just lengthen my breaths, actually it happens pretty automatically.
The stuff at the bottom about the yogis knowing more than medical science etc sounds pretty hokey, but I have a friend with asthma and asked him which nostril he breathes through and he said ‘left, my right one doesn’t work’!! It totally freaked me out. o_o
Congrats on snagging the good buys! AND the pound down!!!
I took a peek at your doggy—he’s adorable!!
I had nasal and ear drum surgery when I was about 14 and while my right side NEVER blocks no matter how bad a cold is; my left frequently has zero air exchange even w/o a cold. Sometimes just shifting position or a steamy shower will help and other times nothing will open it up.
Yay for a pound down! Well done!
Well done for the loss, and the clothes sound lovely too! I don’t know much about migraine, but breathing definitely helps me with stress (and stress-induced headaches, come to think of it)…
your doggie is gorgeous! glad he’s doing better.
