Digital Grading

Right when the DVD first came out, Matt and I watched tons and tons of Lord Of The Rings commentary. One of the segments was about digital grading and how they made the scenery just POP out of the screen. So now, whenever we see bright green grass, we joke that it’s been digitally graded.

Well this week, our entire yard has gotten a digital boost. Everything is neon green! For more info on our yard, check out Matt’s latest post on our garden: The Garden of 2009.

I woke up at 6 this morning and pittered around on my computer in bed before I got up to do the 30 minute Sun Salutations Flow by Dave Farmar on YogaDownload. It’s not my favorite session, but I love how challenging it is and it always tires me out. I am having a right-hand wrist/thumb problem again and it really hurts to hold downdog and chaturanga. I’ve been making a fist, which resolves the problem, but I know that isn’t ideal for form to do long-term. Hope it gets better soon 🙁

[This just in! YogaDownload is offering 40% off of all their classes for Earth Day tomorrow!! Enter this code at checkout: EARTHDAY09. Sale ends Thursday the 23rd at midnight]

I came down at 8 to make breakfast and had yogurt on the brain. But I was SO COLD! The thought of eating yogurt was torturous, so I just turned my base into hot oats. It ended up being an awesome bowl!

The Mix:

  • 1 tbsp raisins
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (used more to use up the last bit)
  • 1 tsp flax
  • 1/3 cup heated blackberries
  • 1/2 crumbled New Morning graham cracker
  • Hidden spoonful MaraNatha AB

Exciting news: Meghann, Tina, Heather, Caitlin, Jenna and I are in the early stages of planning a Blog Summit!! We’re hoping this will be a chance for all of us to get together in one room with a bunch of fellow bloggers and readers from all over and have a blast talking about all the fun things we discuss daily via keyboard. We’re envisioning a weekend late this summer (TD) in a cool city (TBD), and we already have a few sponsors up our sleeves to make it happen! I hope I’ll be able to meet many of you guys there!!

Time to get to work!

    I have issues with my right wrist as well and yoga, push-ups, things like that seem to tweak it. Not quite sure how it happened, but it can be really annoying when trying to do some of the yoga moves. I’ve seen things out there like wrist supports for issues like these…maybe that would help??

    As a yoga teacher for many years, I see a lot of students with wrist issues, generally caused by improper hand form in down dog and chattarunga. If you’re new to yoga I definitely recommend some led classes for this reason!

    Next time you’re in down dog, notice your hands. You should be putting as much pressure in your fingertips and your tHUMB as there is in the ball of your hand, by the wrist. Spread the fingers wide, and root down through all 4 corners of the hand. Sometimes the thumb likes to peel up and we hang out in the wrist too much.

    Also make sure you aren’t taking too short of a down dog. We sometimes feel that it’s most important to get the heels to the mat…not so. You should be able to go from DD to plank WITHOUT moving the location of your feet! Check it out! The point is to create more SPACE with the body and through the spine!

    If you like, take a pic of yourself and I can comment! ;0) I’ts a VERY common thing with a lot of students and unfortunately a video or download can’t adjust you!

    Give it a rest of a couple weeks!

    hey kath.. I have similar wrist problems, both from typing and just from life (born that way? not sure…). It helps me to wrap up my wrists when i go to bed at night. also, doing upper body weight exercises in general strengthen my forearms which help with some of those yoga moves that often hurt my wrists and thumb-to-wrist connection (whatever that is called).

    I usually read in Reader but wanted to pop over to comment about the wrist-yoga situation. I practice regularly and I have wrist problems too. There are a couple of fixes my teachers have suggested, any of which you might find useful. 1) wrist support gloves – these are kind of like carpal tunnel gloves. i found they were very expensive and my hands slid. 2) using wrist supports, usually wedges, either wood or foam. these are good but my hands often slide on those as well, although putting the small foam ones underneath a yoga towel (between towel and mat) helps with that. 3) try doing the poses on ridgetops or in kickstand – that is, instead of your hand flat on the ground, bring the heel of your palm off the mat so your weight is on the ridge below your fingers (i.e., the palm-side of where your ridge of knuckles is on the top). kickstand is similar but the thumb is farther back like a little kickstand for the ridgetops. using ridgetops/kickstand does help – as does using what in anusara we call “muscular energy” – hugging the muscles onto the bones (i.e., engaging them), all the way up the arms to help take the pressure off the wrists. good luck!

  34. Kara says

    April 21, 2009 at 9:25 am

    oh, sorry, one more anusara piece of advice – which may or may not be the right form for you depending on what style you are practicing. but in anusara, we plug the shoulder blades into the back so that there’s a solid foundation. this also helps relieve pressure on joints like the wrist, because you are supported by the correct bone structure and alignment and so your muscles have an easier time holding you up, which means less strain on the joints. i would try that too – especially important in poses like downward dog, vashistasana and vashistasana prep, etc.!

    Hi Kath! I wanna go to the summit! 🙂 What IS a summit?

    YOGA… try rolling your mat on the end near your hands. Then place the palm of your hands on the rolled part and the fingers on the floor when in down dog. Also, be careful when lowering into chaturanga that you never for farther than you elows in height away from the floor… then it’s just a nice lift up into up dog. Does that make sense? I used to have tons of wrist problems when I first started. Now my students often ask about this… hope that helps!!

    Also, no worries about lowering your knees in chaturanga and taking childs pose instead of down dog as often as you like. Remember… yoga is yummy, not crumby. (crumby wrists) hehe 😉

    I must say though, I agree with L and Allison K that the summit should be in Portland! Ok I’m obviously biased because I live here. 😉 But Portland is beautiful, especially in the summer and it’s a fantastic city for food. We have lots of interesting restaurants (vegan/ vegetarian/ organic/ peruvian/ local/ everything!) and organic grocery stores and a million coffee shops. Also, the farmers markets in the summer are wonderful too. 🙂

    I am SO CLOSE to my goal weight but still now, 8 months later, I haven’t reached it. I am starting to log carefully on CK again, planning my meals ahead of time etc. And my net is back down to 1200 BUT… HOW do you manage to get through those late evenings or even those working afternoons where you’ve already eaten your packed lunch and snack and still have hours until dinner. I can’t “afford” any more calories from my calorie budget, and seltzer isn’t cutting it anymore. Tips? splitting lunch in two? more water?

    Our yard is only a third of an acre! It just looks big because we’re at the end of a cul-de-sac, so our front yard is a tiny little corner, but the back widens to a huge swath of grass.

    The lawn looks great! I read about Matt’s (not-so) garden on his blog. I am sure it will turn out great this year.

    Oh to be a fly on the wall at the summit! Sounds like a lot of fun …

    Love the yard! So spring-like!

    I know you were in San Francisco before, but it would be a great place to revisit for the Summit. How fun!

    Thanks for the yoga advice! I think the root of my problem stems from my computer mouse/typing overuse, not the yoga. Strangely, putting the weight into my fingers and thumb properly makes it worse. If I put my weight on the outside of my hand, it’s better. But pressure on it is worsened by yoga. I’ll try some modifications.

    YES!!!!

    Jen ,
    Oh man – good deal!

    zestycook ,
    Definitely not – we expect you to be there!!! And Nate might come too 🙂

    Erin ,
    Congrats!

    I’d ask you all the usual questions: are you sure your goal is realistic (you look pretty good to me!), is your NET too low, are you getting enough exercise, are you eating packages or REAL food? I would say splitting up lunch might help or just try eating an earlier dinner? It’s hard to give advice without knowing all about your lifestyle.

    Wait, I thought you were against palm oil consumption?

    You know the Maranatha Almond Butter has palm oil in it right?

    I don’t mean to beat a dead horse, I just want you to be aware.

    I am aware, both of MN’s palm oil inclusion and of its dangers to the environment, but I am not “against palm oil consumption.” This is the ONE product I eat with palm oil in it, so I think my footprint is pretty small.

    I am so excited by the idea of a Summit! Anyway you could swing the location towards the South East? I live in NC too, near Hickory. This weekend Husband and I went to the Earth Fare in Boone because of your high recommendations. WE LOVED IT!

    Hey Kath! “Fists for wrists” (a YogaFit phrase) is actually a totally acceptable way to approach a lot of poses if you have hand/wrist injuries. (YogaFit is the program I’m doing my yoga teacher training with & actually the same program that Polly did!) We teach it as a modification. If you have a tendency to have pain in your wrists, do the fists for wrists and don’t feel bad about it! You need to find the perfect pose for you 🙂 It’s not the same for everyone.

    I’m excited about a blogger summit too! Of course having no idea if I could come or not, I’m already excited at the thought of a big group work out! And chatting about these things in person with a bunch of like minded people…. LOVE it! What a fun idea, can’t wait to see what transpires! 🙂 When tossing around ideas of where to have it, maybe pick a city that’s an airport “hub”, to allow people to have the fewest amount of connecting flights? But maybe that will make your blog summit a blog CONFERENCE!! hehehe…. fun fun!

    hey kath! i actually made blackberry oats this morning too!
    Here’s my combo:
    1/3 c oat mixture (like yours w/half oats & half 5-grain cereal)
    2 T 2% cottage cheese
    1 T wheatberries
    splash of vanilla
    1/4 c blackberries
    2.5 peanut pecan clusters (they’re by Frito & they’re REALLY good! they’re not exactly calorie perfect, but use sparingly)
    & 2/3 T Barney Butter

    AWESOME combo!! i’m in love w/it! you should try it out!
