I like to think about things. I also like to question things – sometimes just for the sake of it.
I nerd myself into some things. Other things I am extremely uninterested in.
I have also become a climate change aunt, despite mine so far, in the context, young age.

Welcome! 🙂
I have been doing yoga daily for about six and a half months, and now, for the first time, I have acquired a yoga-related injury. It's nothing serious, but quite annoying. I have probably contracted an inflammation in some muscle on the underside of one buttock, which continues down the back of the thigh.
At first I thought that I may have got sciatica, but I really do not think so. It feels a bit similar, but sciatica hurts incredibly much more and affects the function of the whole body much more than what this does. I can stand and walk without major problems, but it's a bit cumbersome to sit on the dass – or sit at all, but still not outrageous. It hurts to lean forward, for it pulls and stretches the buttocks and the back of the thigh.
Sat yesterday and sought information on this, and that's why I think it's more of an inflammation than anything else. I know exactly what it is that has accomplished this, and therefore I will opt out of those exercises for a long time to come. In addition, I will skip yoga altogether until this has given way. I could probably do maybe half of what I usually do, but I prefer not to cause more pain and reduction – so I choose to take it easy with just yoga.
But because I still want to do anything, so I am simply allowed to focus on something other than stretching my buttocks and thighs. So I'll be there for a few days (as long as needed) to devote myself to arms, belly and waist instead. That's not how I want it at all – I want my yoga. But I do not want more trouble than I have, so yoga has to wait. Thankfully, it remains when this what-it-is-actually-for-something, has given up.
I'm still quite impressed that it took me over six months to get my first yoga related injury. I have had exercise pain maybe twice during all this time, but never hurt because I hurt myself. So I take the liberty of being very happy with myself anyway, even though it annoys me that there will be an interruption of an as yet unknown number of days.
Something that, on the other hand is fun is that I got home my two new bras in the size that suits me right now. I do not know at all what to expect – if I will land in this size, or if I will continue to decrease in scope. It would of course be very fun if I reduce further – I would feel insanely proud if I eventually get in size 80D / E in bra.
But it remains to see. Right now I am happy to be able to have size 85D. Only this is something I six months ago would not have thought possible. I will be happy if I stay in this size – believe nothing else. Fixed as said was – it would be fun to reduce further.
And it gets be a conclusion to the post that started with a yoga related injury and ended with everything positive instead. 😀
Suck it, ni!
