Half a cupcake

I ate half a cupcake today- a sugar loaded, non organic cupcake, and it was delicious. 

This is to prove that no one is perfect, and that when you see my result pictures in a few months, you'll remember that I ate a cupcake, well, half a cupcake.  Sometimes you just have to, give in to a little craving so you don't binge out. 

I actually felt an overwhelming sense of guilt after I ate it. Not good. Just eat the cupcake and be done with it, hmmmm? I get to take a look deeper into that, clearly it's not "just" about the cupcake. 

...then I remembered I sweat my ass off at Bikram this morning. I improved in many of the postures, and today was double hot because of the humidity. Not that this earns me a cupcake, but it made me feel a bit better about it. 
Sunday 7:30am does not sound like a perfect time to stretch in a 110 degree room, but there never is a "perfect time". I've learned you get to lean into the uncomfortable, do it, feel it, get results! 

This journey is certainly teaching me a lot about "leaning into it." Someone gave me an incredible compliment today "Raina, your my hero when it comes to the definition of commitment, you say you're going to do something and you do it, life doesn't get in the way...you're clear."

WOW. Life is always giving us feedback, it's not positive or negative, it just "is". Take it in. 

How are you showing up in the world? How are other people experiencing you? I've discovered so much of these little/big nuggets of knowledge, life tools in a workshop called Synergy Education.  I'm a graduate of their Basic, Advanced and Leadership Programs and it has had a profound impact on every aspect of my life. www.SynergyEducationinc.com

How did I go from a cupcake to this? Ha!
However it happened, I hope your enjoying reading my blog and I'm committed to continuing to divulge my inside voice to you!
