My new yoga mat arrived, and I think it will prove to be a good investment. It doesn’t slip around on the floor, and it’s actually long enough for me to do my various poses without making a choice between having my hands or feet touching the floor. Two cheers for good yoga mats! Unfortunately it still gets slippery when wet (cue Bon Jovi), so I’m just going to have to suck it up and dry the thing off from time to time throughout my workouts — that or quit sweating, which might have worse repercussions. That was an expensive mat, but I noticed Beachbody (makers of P90X) sells one for a reasonable price. We paid the same price for a crap mat from Bed, Bath and Beyond, so theirs is probably better and accessible for those on a tighter budget.

Finally, I also went insane and bought a 30 Day Supply of Shakeology. Call it curiosity. I’ve only had one shake so far, but am about to prepare another. It’s nice to have that as a meal replacement, and it’s an interesting drink…seems kine of like a magic potion with a strange after-taste. I’m not really sure how I’d tell it’s worth the hefty price-tag though. If I gain the ability to levitate or read minds, I’ll let you know.
