Yoga this morning took my usual half hour but for some reason it felt much longer. It was as if time slowed down and I was fully in the moment of each move. It was great because not only were my muscles really stretched but I felt amazingly relaxed as well. It was a great [...]

I can’t overstate the importance of getting enough sleep. Due to some circumstances earlier this week I was up for 2 whole days and nights and by dawn of the third morning, I was a zombie. I felt awful and weary deep down in my bones. I had experience with sleep deprivation from my early [...]

by Trula on July 14, 2007 · No Comments

I just started a new job outside of my home production and publishing biz (the money is crazy) and this past week have not been to the Y or done much exercising at all. It’s cool, I haven’t gained any weight back but I haven’t lost any more either. I cut myself some slack the [...]

by Trula on July 6, 2007 · 1 Comment

I’ve heard about some actresses, singers, models and other women who work in entertainment that keep themselves on a strict diet every day except for a once-a-month splurge.
