  Last night I started my yoga with the corpse pose,  I used it to release the tension in my shoulders and hip.  I didn't really get to meditate in the pose only because BF was in the room and the tv was on - but I was relaxing the shoulder and hip that have been hurting and today I feel so much better.  I recommend to always start simple.  Don't go flying into anything quickly, especially with yoga poses.  You could do more harm than good.   The only thing was I needed BF to help me up - but I plan on doing it again tonight and maybe the rest of the week if possible.  On the weekend I will add more poses and exercises for the hip and shoulder.  Meanwhile, the diet has to get back on track.  IT was MY BIRTHDAY weekend and needless to say, I left no carb behind.  So back to the basics.  Protein shake for breakfast!   Have a great day, Namaste - here is some information on the Corpse pose. How to do the Corpse...

 The cost of being ill is ridiculous.  Today I had to cancel therapy because they wanted $414.00 upfront. I know in my head that everyone went to college and the costs of everything is going up but this is totally crazy.    $414.00 to show me some stretches and exercise that I can probably find online - I know what you are thinking,  maybe I won't do them right.   I have been at therapy before and nothing really helped.   I know I need the surgery, but I have to wait until Medicare because my work insurance won't do it while I am overweight. And then I have to find a surgeon who will do it while I am overweight - or I have to loose weight.   And speaking of that I just lost another 3 pounds so makes it 23 total! Yippee so only 80 pounds to go. (Or at home I am already there because I keep the number posted on top of the scale so I always weigh 145 - 20 more pounds then I need to loose but I did weigh that once, for a day)  Toni...
