Feeling better
Posted by Ana Lucia at 1:40 am in Ana's Musings...

Hello readers.

Just woke up (my Sunday) and the good news are that I feel SOOO much better in my feet and right knee. Its been such a hassle having my legs injured and having to drag myself around in the streets.

The worst thing was not being able to do my workout (my source of emotional and physical balance).

Nevermind. Its like 99% gone and so, lets move on.

Its a beautiful day outside and the temperature is absolutely pelasant. Not hot (expect if you stand under the sun for a while). I bet the ebaches will be so crowded today.

Had a nice breakfast (oatmeal milk and ripe papaya), soooo good! I´ve got a beautiful fruit salada, lots of apples, a green salad and organic plain yogurt in the fridge for the day. Yes!

And now I´ll make my bed and do some yoga :)

Also I downloaded Woody Allen´s new movie (“Whatever Works”) and I plan to watch it today.

Looks like I will have a good day, which is quite important since I should prepair myself to deal with a shitty work week (specially without the director being there on Moday and Tuesday).

Hopefuly its going to be a good day. I deserve it.

Is it life´s way to get me to slow down?
Posted by Ana Lucia at 11:26 pm in Ana's Musings...

Maybe life wants me to slow down, take a brake, change my day to day routine, be aware of different things…. I dont know.

But having both my legs (and feet) sore changes my life in a not very nice way. Yesterday I felt so miserable. There are simple things I naturally wannt to do like going to Hortifruti buy fruits and vegetables, go to the chemist or simply stand up and get some water. But I have to move myself soooo slow! It hurts! I feel vunerable walking on the streets and have to be careful not to loose my balance.

Morning, when I get out of bed, this is the moment when my legs hurt BAD!

Yesterday morning I went to the doctor and had X rays taken. Doctor prescribed some antiinflamatory tablets and told me I´ll be fine. Hope he´s right.

Anyway, have to go to work today and hope it will be quite day…. I´ll work less hours….

Looking forward to come home though. Rest and be online with my husband.

my right knee and left foot

they are sore! And because of that I need to walk slowly around the streets.

Of course it bothers me a lot. I am a fast walker!!!

Anyway, Im doing what I can like taking antiinflamatory tablets and applying ointment, putting ice bag and not doing my walking workout.

Its a beautiful day outside and the sky is deep blue blue blue like my beloved husband´s blue blue eyes.

Missing him.  So much! More than words can say.

Hopefuly the day will run fast and I will be back here to be online with him and give him all my love and support and everything him needs.

Going now.

Yoga is fun!!!
Posted by Ana Lucia at 3:51 pm in Ana's Musings...

Yep! Yoga is fun!

I´m so happy I did to full Kundalini Yoga workouts. I feel good. Even the chantings are good.

The stretching all through both workouts are releasing the pain in my right knee and my left foot.

The poses and the “breath of fire” are sooo chalenging. The exercise really motivates me. I know that if I practice this yoga daily my body will be stronger and maybe even my emotional will become stronger.

I´m the sort of person that tends to stay in my comfort zone if I can and because of that I have been pretty much only doing Leslie Sansone´s “Walk Away the Pounds” workout (which is great too and strong cardio) for such a long time.

But now, as I injured my knee and foot, the yoga is a more than great alternative.

(maybe I could get my husband to practice with me next time in New Zealand????)

Anyway, the “breath of fire” is a very fast breathing that makes your belly moves when you actually relax it. Gosh! Its so powerful!

I discovered Ravi & Ana Kundali Yoga workout years ago while browsing through Amazon.com website. I have those DVDs and for a long time they were kept and forgoten inside my wardrobe.

I think that maybe the reason I injured my knee and foot was for me to give my kundalini yoga a try and, later, when I´m more confident, try practicing Bikram Yoga and Shiva Rea´s DVDs as well.

Its quite late now and I should go to sleep (specially because last night I couldnt sleep because of a bad migraine…).

I will have good dreams with my beloved husband!

Our beloved Blog
Posted by Ana Lucia at 1:34 am in Ana's Musings...

I love that we have this wonderful Blog where we can register our moments, our history, our thoughts, anything we want and the way we want it.

Yet its hard to sit and write….

Anyway,  as you readers can see on the previous post, I went to NZ last March and had another most wonderful noneymoon with my beloved husband. What an amazing time we spent together!!! The weather was great, so warm. Beautiful days and we surely made the most of it. I am soooo looking forward to be back (September).

The Little House was cozy and tidy and comfortable. And, boy, do I miss being there!

As the weather was warm, we took the opportunity to prepare and eat wonderful salads (including avocados in pretty much every meal!).

We went  for really nice drives around!

Downloaded lots of The Biggest Loser episodes and had so much fun!

On the way back to Rio I had a bit of stress because of having to catch combined Lan Chile & TAM flights. They just dont give you any information about how you should proceed and you have to walk around the airports trying to find out what to do! This is just not fair, specially considering how expensive those plane tkts are.

My husband will have to catch Aerolineas Argentinas and GOL airlines flights when he come over in Dcember and I pray to God he wont go through the stress I went when this happens.

I had a migrane yesterday evening and during the night. Luckily, I feel much better now (after taking like 8 paracetamol tablets – the ones my husband brought to me). They worked! yay!

Almost finishing  reading “Believe it, be it”, by Ali Vincent, the girl who won 5 Season of The Biggest Loser. very inspiring and shows you that everything you truly believe you can make it possible for you.

I am MISSING my husband SOOOOO VERY MUCH! I am so blessed that Cam is MY HUSBAND and I LOOOVE him more than life.

Time shall run fast (and it will) so that I will be catching the plane to NZ again.

We had terrible rain in Rio a week ago and the city turned out to be in a caos. I didnt have to go to work one day. Loads of water. Its better now. Not too hot and sunny.

I should go out for a walk, but I am just going to workout from home. I will do some biking and another workouts. I have injured my write knee and my left foot trying to run…

Yesterday I went to Hortifruti early in the morning and bought lots of green vegetable and grapes and apples. So delicious! So healthy. I will make a BIG salad for lunch and try to feel good.

Counting the hours to wake my husband up and sing him the little song…

Sleep deprived
Posted by Ana Lucia at 1:12 am in Ana's Musings...

Here I am…. My last day of Carnival holidays off work and I am sleep deprived and feeling like shit!

I am sleep deprived.

Besides that, I have been through quite a lot of upseting moments.

Also, this Friday, I will have to spend the night at the hospital with my Father and no internet.

This place where I happen to live in (Rio de Janeiro) is terribly hot. Have been locked inside my bedroom with airconditioner on.

Hopefuly things will get better soon.
