Day Fourteen: Still Two Classes Behind. Gah!!

I had the very best intentions to get to yoga this morning, but I seriously couldn't get my arse out of bed. In all fairness, two weeks ago I couldn't get my arse to yoga period...so there! So I'm still two classed behind and I don't know when I'm going to make this up because I'm slammed for the rest of the week at work. I'll just finish the week as normal and try to make it up on the weekend and probably a double day next week.

This weekend I need to find a dress for our big annual holiday fundraiser at work - the Candy Cane Gala. Normally I would revel in this undertaking but I have absolutely no desire to buy anything that's not made of moisture wicking material. I'm addicted to being comfy and can't bear the thought of fighting my way into a pair of SPANX. (I always just presume these will be integral to my outfuit. I swear, if I spent as much time at the gym as I do trying to put on a pair of SPANX, I wouldn't need them in the first place!)  But I digress. It's all about the comfort for me at the mo. Perhaps Lululemon makes a strapless unitard that I can dress up with some strappy sandals. And they do sell tutus... Hmmm...maybe my Gala outfit is planned.

Great class tonight! My balance was all over the place of course, so nothing out of the ordinary there...but I felt strong tonight. And I really liked the instructor - well they're all fantastic!

Not a whole lot to say tonight...it was a rough day and I was very grateful for my practice this evening. It was much-needed.

Tomorrow will be the half way mark in The Challenge (seems like longer) and I promised myself that I would attempt to push myself into a back bend from the floor at Day 15. I've only done it twice before and it was a year ago after I'd been working out lots. I haven't even felt able to even attempt it until I gained a bit of strength. It may be possible that my arms have passed the point of not being completely useless noodles and I feel like just now I may be strong enough. Or maybe not...we will see:)

So this is your basic Bridge pose, which I can do pretty well.
(Unless you've had a caesarian that very day, anyone can.)

And then you push yourself up into this. 

This is what my goal is for tomorrow. 

I will likely snap my hands off and land on my head. 

Also, never try this right after you've had a caesarian.

Actually wouldn't this be a funny way give birth? No epidural for me, thanks!

Goodnight all.

Justy
