Mid-Summer Progress Report

At the beginning of 2008 I was in a pretty sorry state. I suffered from quite severe case of depression last winter, had put on some pounds and was feeling pretty suicidal. It was quite tragic since last summer I was pretty much at a peak in regard to being in shape.

I have made a considerable turnaround since then, all starting with going to visit an Acupuncturist. That critical step put me on the path of really getting better. That path has  been lined with mushrooms and a few visits to a counselor who also happens to be a yogi. I also have started taking a hatha yoga class every week. I joined the U.Va. Aquatic and Fitness center and went swimming (once). I am struggling to keep pushing it so I do yoga and swim more than one instance of each week. I did go swimming in our pond at the farm twice last weekend so that was a good sign. :)

Last weekend I bought an eco-friendly yoga mat (I was allergic to my old one) and a great yoga DVD by Shiva Rea. My goal is to do yoga at home twice a week in addition to my class. I have not been riding my bike very much because it has been HOT, but I plan to when the weather starts to cool down.

Other things I need to keep working on is getting back into spinning, dancing, and making music frequently. I just applied to WTJU to bring my radio show back to FM College radio. I am anxiously awaiting a call to see if my application has been accepted. I have a feeling that if it is, it is going to bring great things into my life in regard to music!
