Day 10, 11 & 12 - Fun, fun, fun!

Day 10 - Olly Tompsett
Today was really good fun - I was invited by a friend to go see his friend Olly Tompsett play a gig in London's Shepherd's Bush. Olly's currently playing the lead man in Wicked in the West End and also writes and performs songs with his brother Ben and their (10-piece!) band. The sound was so cool - Olly's got a voice a lot like Stevie Wonder (they did a couple of his tracks too which was amazing) and they're obviously both so talented. It was a bit Mark Ronson, a bit cool laid back jazz and a bit full on dance party. In short - it was a privilage to be surrounded by so much talent: http://www.olivertompsett.com/

Day 11 - Tired
I'm feeling a bit fat and a bit lethargic - probably from the late night last night and the fact I seem to be gorgin on fresh and dried fruits in an attempt to stay raw - it's been a long working week for me and I'm on day 8 working through straight, but I'm off on Thursday and am going to pop in and see Morgaine in Fulham after doing a back to back double yoga session. Holding it together, just need some rest methinks.

Day 12 - Toe Stand
Yoga is going so well. I'm on day 12 of my 30 days so I'm nearly half way and I'm seeing huge improvements in many postures. Most noteably - got both my hands off the floor during toe stand which I got so excited by I practically clapped, causing me to lose my balance and be back in the former hands-on-floor-pose. My focus is also really becoming iron strong (now if I could transfer that over to learning not to want toasted sandwiches or feta cheese I'd be happier). I'm still raw but it is becoming difficult - I think because, again, I'm having a social time and still trying to learn new behaviours in those settings - when I'm at home, I pretty much have it down. Its all a learning curve and I'm trying to forgive myself for finding it difficult and not having perfect thoughts or intentions. In the grand scale of things I know I am doing extremely well and just need to keep reminding myself who I want to be and that change can only happen as a result of MY actions. I'm happy though so thats always a bonus :o)

Hope you're all doing amazingly well and will hopefully get on the computer in the next couple of days for a proper catch up :o)
