Well, on September the 15th I arrived into Canada… it was a busy few days, get my licence, bank account, Criminal Record Check, Grocery Shop, Friends Weddings, Familys Birthday, New Job, Weekend off- visiting friends and meeting new babies- and now back to work… for an Overhaul.
Today was a 9 hour day and tomorrow we start some 12-13 and then a few of those and then work of 10.5. During these past two weeks I have used some of my Ayurvedic lifestyle techniques to keep me golden- but I havn’t been rigid. But I am now ready to put it to the test… can someone live an ayurvedic lifestyle while working as a labourer in a Power Plant working over 75.5 hours per week… more specifically, can I?
Can I continue to have an hour yoga/meditation practice, jala netti, tongue cleanse, abhyanga, kitchari, herbs- balance, sleep, work, study and fun??
Well I think so- I made a batch of Kitchari last night, practiced yoga outside today and just about to begin studying after a few weeks of Vacation from it after writing my second mid term… since being in Canada I have eaten out at restaurants/ bar style food a few times, I’ve had sushi a few times, Chinese food and a lot of chips… but time to begin following my guidelines again and not eating before bed, being mindful while I eat, and only eating until 3/4 full- while choosing real food. I think I got this- my weight is 223 LBS right now… at the end of the haul I will see what happens.
I want to study for a few hours before I go to sleep and do yoga in the morning- so I will end this now and update later this week.
