The Yoga is going great. The laundry is a killer! Seriously, between the two showers a day and all the extra laundry, my Enmax bill is going to astronomical. Also, if I ever do another 30 day challenge, I'm going to get Tide to be my sponsor. I'm not even kidding.
This morning's class was not great. Let me rephrase. This morning's class was awesome: Hot Fusion - which I love. What wasn't great is that the guy next to me hadn't washed his yoga "strip" in about a week. I honestly didn't know what to do. It totally threw me off and I couldn't concentrate at all. I was trying to balance and was falling over, or pogo-ing around like a maniac. Poor Alice, who was teaching the class was really good, but must have thought it was my first time because I was terrible today. Well - for the most part anyway. I did do 2 pur-itty impressive poses which I'll get to later.
So except for the fact that I am now going to carry Febreeze in my gym bag just for such emergencies, I have to say that I have yet to smell BO in a hot yoga class. And really - if ever anyone deserved to have BO in their lives, it would be at hot yoga. It's odd. I think it's because during hot yoga you sweat so much - it is literally pouring off of you - that it's almost self-cleaning. Now, I have caught the odd whiff of "Ugg Foot" - but BO? Never.
Ok...so I totally did this today:
The hardest part about this pose was trying not to fall over - it was all about the balance for me. I didn't do it for hours and hours...but I did it:)
And I did this one too.
This one looks harder than it is. The hard part is trying to breathe when your belly is pushing your boobs into your lungs - while trying to keep from having a double chin. This girl doesn't seem to be having that problem.
I have so many poses I want to get better at and even some I haven't dared attempt yet. I feel like I could do this every day for years and still be able to keep getting better. It's funny how you take this 75 minutes out of your crazy and "very important" work day to master something as simple as standing on one foot for just a few minutes. But you do...and I want to stand on that one foot for the whole time so badly that I do it sticking my tongue out in ernest concentration. It becomes a real big deal. It's ridiculous, but I tell you, when you do manage to balance the whole entire time, it's an awesome feeling. It's so silly.
One goal of mine is do all of the sun salutations routine (I'm pretty sure it's not called a routine but you catch my drift.) with my thighs never touching the floor. (Or each other but that hasn't happened in about 10 years.) It is so graceful and looks awesome when the instructors do it. I still can barely lower myself to the floor out of a plank without falling and grunting the last few inches...but I will get there.
Tomorrow I'm treating myself to a bunch of "prod" to help speed up the getting-ready process after an early morning class. I'm rolling into work too late in the mornings so I'm streamlining the 'tine. Watch this space.
(Seriously, how long did you really think it was going to take before I started making this a blog about products?!)
Goodnight All. And remember, always cleanse and tone. Even when you're bombed.
Justy
