I briefly spoke to Hillary after practice. She leaves next week for Mysore and will be there for a month. Amanda leaves next week too, I think on Wednesday. I envy them. I want to leave with them now (patience). Lately, I’ve been counting down the days…13 days (last day from my real job)…29 days (before I leave for Cebu)…62 days (before I arrive in Mysore). It’s hard to live in the present when the future is more exciting. I won’t see Hillary when she’s there but Amanda will still be there when I arrive. A few days after I arrive, Ronda and Kerri will be arriving too. It’s going to be nice to see familiar faces.
Practice today was good. I was in bed early last night so I felt rested for practice. I think my stamina is increasing. The day off from work last Tuesday really helped too. Ever since I’ve start practicing regularly in the Silverlake shala, I’ve noticed that I feel full in my stomach. I don’t do wheat grass juice first thing in the morning and I am not eating late at night anymore. The wheat grass juice and the midnight snacks never use to bother me though. Is my digestion slowing down or am I going deeper in my practice? I would like to think that I’m going deeper in my practice. I’m more conscious with what I eat at night now and I try not to eat after 8PM.
Nothing exciting is happening this weekend. I picked up a few massage shifts and some private clients. I need to pay for all the “therapy� I’ve been doing. I’m going to be looking at digital cameras this weekend. I decided to get one for my trip. I still don’t know what my parameters are. I need to determine how much to spend for the camera, what features I need, what accessories and software I need and etc… This is too stressful for me. A friend of mine will be helping me decide all this. I know I’ll be tempted to spend more than I want but we’ll see.

I've noticed that once I started a regular morning practice I stopped getting hungry in the morning too. I don't know if you just began in the morning or not, but adapting to an new environment can definitely cause all sorts of changes in the body. I think the body starts to get into a very certain rhythm with morning practice, and it probably takes different amounts of time for different people, but I think the hunger thing is certainly part of that adjustment.

I've always practiced in the morning but this feeling just started 3 weeks ago when I started practicing with Noah regularly. The practice is more intense and focus. I don't feel hungry. I feel like the food I ate the night before is still not digested, like I ate a couple of hours before. I think it's a good thing though because I'm not eating late at night anymore.
