Check out my cool new fitness toyNo-slip yoga socks!  I was in the health food store the other night and they had these right when I walked in the front door.

I’m often too lazy to unroll my yoga mat (and when I do, it often doesn’t get rolled back up.)  So these are PERFECT!  I was worried that my teeny-tiny-toes wouldn’t fit into the separate openings but they did.  These socks ROCKED.  And even better than keeping you from slipping on the floor (or your mat) they also helped in tree pose because I had like Super Spidey Grip on my inner thigh.

For my non-yogi readers,  here’s a pic of tree pose.  With bare feet, my lifted foot has a tendency to slide down my leg!  1 tree pose

I think these would make a great gift idea for any of your yoga enthusiast friends – especially for this time of year when feet get cold anyway!  I’ve added them to my “Favorite Things Amazon Store” if you want further details. 

Monday morning, after the too-short night of sleep, I still managed to get in an hour of Iron Yoga.  I knew that if I didn’t, I’d be bumming later.  Once my day got going I knew I wouldn’t have another chance to workout again until Wednesday morning and I didn’t want to go THREE days in a row without exercise.  That just perpetuates the vicious sleepless circle.

This one still works me well – especially my legs and shoulders. 

To thank my body for doing well in yoga, I then treated myself to a hot shower and one of these:

It was 32 ounces of green nutrient rich goodness… try to top that, Super Big Gulp!  Spinach, sprouts, cucumber, 1/3 frozen banana, 1 clementine, 1 apple, 2 stalks celery. 

Who wouldn’t feel like a million bucks after YOGA and GREEN SMOOTHIES?  It’s like having a spa day before you even head out the door to work!

Today’s question:  What is your FAVORITE YOGA POSE if you’re a yogi (yogini??).  Right now mine is Eagle Pose.
