I love swimming but I've never thought about counting the number of breaths!! That's a great idea to keep track of things. And you're right, my mind always wanders off when I swim, but I think it's relaxing and free at the saee time. <br /><br />You have one of my favorite java ice-creams RIGHT THERE!!! ahhh i miss it!!! I bought it once for my mom when she visited me in Chicago, and she also fell in love with it!!! :) <br /><br />I keep all my old clothes. hahahah It's a HUGE waste of room even though I want to donate it all the time!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-66086794653121645722009-04-28T17:54:00.000-04:002009-04-28T17:54:00.000-04:00:) Swimming is nice!!!

So often we're not in the moment at all - planning, thinking of something else - and we miss out. I think the best way to stay in the moment is to focus on your breath at first, and then just try to experience what's happening at that moment. It's so important not just in yoga but in life as well. I'm glad you talked about this :)<br /><br />As for the clothes - I have a lot of clothes that I should get rid of (never ever wear) but they have memories. I like the idea of making a quilt out of them! My mom quilts so maybe I'll ask her to do that for me :)Maggiehttp://www.thesaladgirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-39080368845704578812009-04-28T12:40:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:40:00.000-04:00thanks for the insight on concentrating on the "no...thanks for the insight on concentrating on the "now" instead of the "what next". i often find myself going through the motions at the gym, almost hypnotically, but after reading your post i want to try to concentrate on my workouts more so i can get the most out of them. i appreciate your motivation! good job on the quick improvement with the swimming. <br /><br />don't get me started on old clothes! i swear i can find an excuse for every article of clothing i own, even if it is ten years old. so i have boxes of clothes i will never wear just collecting dust. i used to buy a shirt at every concert i went to as a teenager, and my sister is working on making all those shirts into a patchwork quilt, which will be awesome to have. <br /><br />love your food photos also, the cold warm salad was my favorite photo for the post!janethahttp://www.mealsandmoves.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-26054753625981791932009-04-28T12:09:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:09:00.000-04:00wow, the first part of this post really made me th...wow, the first part of this post really made me think I do think I actually do a lot of things perfunctorily, without much thought. yeah, I'm def going to try to live every moment and focus on everything I do, too!<br />for my old clothes, I use them as rags to clean the floor or something, or just donate them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-37450984782953587312009-04-28T11:30:00.000-04:002009-04-28T11:30:00.000-04:00What a great eating day, everything you had looked...What a great eating day, everything you had looked so awesome!

Life is WAY too short. For instance, DD will be 10next month and I wonder where the heck 10 years went? And if the next 10 go by as fast she'll be 20 before I know it and I'm not ready for that.

I...I definitely relate to your comment about focus. It really makes a huge difference if you can focus on what you are doing. I find that to be very true in my workouts - I do much better if I'm simply focusing on working out instead of reading a magazine or thinking about other things. One thing that really helps me do that is having everything else under control, so to speak. For example, if the house is a wreck, I have twenty million things to do, and I'm afraid I'm going to be late for the next place I need to go, then it's really difficult to focus completely on workout out (or whatever I'm doing). But if I have a plan for accomplishing all those other things I need to do, it is much easier to focus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-31544606026551890662009-04-28T08:48:00.000-04:002009-04-28T08:48:00.000-04:00Yeah, I agree with your comment - your heart has t...Yeah, I agree with your comment - your heart has to be in it if you want to succeed at something! And I admit, when I workout, I'm often thinking about other things. But this isn't always bad. When I'm running, I like that I can think. That said, I also appreciate when I'm just in the moment and have a clear mind. Sometimes when I'm boxing, I like to pretend that the pad I'm hitting is some annoying person I don't like..!<br /><br />Anyway, I probably don't always live in the moment and it is something I need to be more conscious of. Thanks for your post. It's good to get a little kick every now and then to remind you of these things!<br /><br />Oh yeah - your food! Gorgeous as usual. I love your cold-warm salad. Sesame seeds are great!<br /><br />Also, thanks for the info on the white fungus. I'm wondering where you find it? Chinese shops? And do you get it fresh?
