I (heart) Yoga!

Yesterday I had my 5th yoga lesson and the first with a new teacher.

I have understood as much as that the yoga I do on Tuesday mornings are something called Hatha yoga. It's slow paced and focused on the breathing. Perfect way to start the morning. Last Thursday I went to an evening class. Same teacher and all though it wasn't as slow (and not as relaxed, mainly becuase of a couple of teenages and a parent talking their way thru the class) it was nothing compared to the class I accidentally took last night.
The teacher had other engagements so another teacher stepped in, she was young and slim and looked like something off a fashion magazine. It was something else completly.
Power yoga, I quickly learned, is something very different from Hatha yoga. I was sure I'd die halfway thru it, sweating floods. But still, it was fantastic.
I am hooked.
Reading about yoga I can see it's really something for me.

I used to wake up every morning at 4 am, not being able to sleep again. Now I even sleep thru the alarm! I feel happy. Yesterday there was some shit at work and I got really upset but at lunch I took a very quick 10 mins power walk concentrating on my breathing and came back to the meeting calm. Very good.

I am taking another Power Yoga class this afternoon!

It's true!

The royal engagement was a fact at 14.00.
They will meet the press at 16.00, live on tv.
I can't help but being excited :-)

Royal engagement??

Hands down, I am a great fan of the royalties.
Today the rumour is that our very own crown princess Victoria will announce her engagement to Daniel (the man of the people, all though not a very sympathic guy). I am SURPRISED to see all the headlines on all the newspapers sites. This is BIG NEWS. Not only in my world but obviously in the rest of Sweden too.

We'll know in half an hour if it's true or not. But as much as the newspapers are writing about it it can't just be an hunch. This has to be for real.
So, 14.00 announcement and 16.00 showing of the rings from the royal castle...

Yoga!

Yesterday I had my first ever yoga lesson.
It was amazing. I felt good for the entire day.
Relaxed and happy.
I will do this again. And again. And again.
(at least every Tuesday morning)

I can't believe breathing can do this to you.
Afterwards I sat in the sauna for 15 minutes. Totally relaxed. What a fantastic way to start the morning. I totally recommend it.

John Sykes - on the cover

No, no, no, no way. I was just given the Rock it! issue 48 (last issue of 2008). 'You're a Lizzy-fan, you can have it'! Loving magazines, even if they're in German I had a look at the cover, and then another look.

I slowly took my eyes off the magazine.

The day I dreaded had come. This was obviously a magazine everyone has been trying to hide from me and I know why. Sykes looks awful. On the cover. The photos inside the mag are ok, but on the freaking cover he looks like Robert Plant in a wig. Robert Plant as he looks now that is.
Awful.
Old.

Don't tell me it's happening, Sykes is losing it.
Is he losing his good looks??

I may be shallow for saying it, but I already went thru this once with Ian Gillan. I don't like time doing that to beautiful people. No, no, no.
