Yoga swing week 2


Week two proved more productive. Dare I say I'm getting the hang of this. The yoga swing has take over my morning yoga. I'm spending about a half hour to 45 minutes on it. 

Things I have learned this week

  1. That the second week you are not really sore. I have a good work out and can feel it. I just am not waking up really sore. Just my normal sore. Once I hope on the swing after getting the kids to the bus I feel better.
  2. I'm improving a lot in a short amount of time. My balance and ability to get farther into poses has increased over the last few weeks. 
  3. That the only thing holding me back is myself. My fears of falling or my lack of confidence is the only thing stoppi g me from doing poses. These upside down ones are scary but safe. After I try them I think that wasn't so hard. Also I underestimate my strength. 





Back bends 

This seriously popped my back. It sounded like rice crispys and felt like heaven. 
Back bends are so much easier on this thing. I love it. 



Shoulder stretches I messed up my shoulder pretty bad a few months ago. It was shoot pain down my arm. Right before If It the yoga swing it was starting to act up again. After a few days of using this yoga swing the pain left.


Leg stretches

This is far easier to get the 3 legged dog. You can seriously feel the stretch.


Upside down

This last one I thought would be super impossible, but here we are. Progress😁

Yesterday after getting the kids to school I called the school to discuss them giving my kid with food allergies chart in his file school lunch. I don't have him signed up for it, he brings his own lunch, and they want to charge me $2 something. Needless to say I was beyond upset. I took my CBD and made the call. I had to leave a message.  I braced myself for more crazy as the phone rang and it was the kid's school. This week has been nuts with Tuesday being the only good day my son had. "WTF now" I said right before answering.  It was a lady about the school lunches. She tells me we can put a block on him getting the school lunches. I just have to write a note to the school board. Thank you. Now we can maybe get these behaviors under control.  Now maybe we can get these behaviors under control!

This last week with my oldest has tested me to my limits. A little background: my oldest is 11 with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. This presents as anger. If this wasn't hard enough I have off and on depression and anxiety.  So my oldest has been refusing his CBD the last few weeks because he wants to go against what I say. P.S. once upon a time he was diagnosed with ODD. The diagnosis was only taken away because he was doing good on the CBD. It takes a lot of work for him to take the CBD these days. Sometimes he spits it out and some days he doesn't have it at all.  He has also decided he will be eating foods he is allergic to. This being milk, eggs, wheat, and peanuts. Halloween started this carp. For Halloween I normally get him candies he can have so after trick or treating he can trade. These food allergies are not life threatening, but do cause a lot of behaviors and the ODD behavior. Yay not! He didn't trade candies out and said he was going to give them t
