January 8

 Something I struggle with:

Alcohol

Sugar

I know they are both very bad for my body.  

Today, I took a Senior Yoga Training and the teacher reminded us that as we get more serious about our yoga practice, our eating habit and ways of viewing our lives will change.  We should become more interested in what we put in our bodies and how we take care of our world.  In the 10 years that I have been teaching yoga I have cut back on processed food.  I have also been forced to back off of gluten and dairy products.  But I struggle with cakes, cookies, and chocolate.  I know sugar is the "White Poison" especially since my dad has Type 2 diabetes.

Unfortunately, Covid has made me increase my consumption of alcohol.  Staying home has introduced me to my good friends, Jim Beam and Captain Morgan.  I also know that alcohol is deadly to my liver.  I can blame stress, worry, and grief but ultimately, I'm to blame.  

I will try my best to take better care of my body in 2022.  It has to last me a lifetime and I hope that will be a long time.
