Day 8

I was so tired yesterday, that I get to do a "two-fer!"

Day 8 was interesting in light of the headache from the day before. I need to really get a grasp on food timing. If I have a class that happens after 11, I was told to eat by 9. Two to three hours before class. So I'm doing that today for Day 9.

But yesterday brought about a little balance. I was able to do tree pose for both legs, which made me smile at myself in the mirror. It's funny, everyone in the class is so focused, and so am I. But I allow for a smile if I accomplish something, a smile if I do something crazy, or just a smile simply because I'm doing the class. And that all seems ok to me. I have to keep finding joy in this process as I progress, or else it doesn't feel good to me.

So I missed the morning classes today, and the next one isn't until 4:30. Another afternoon class...sigh. Well, I have to do it in order to finish the 10-day challenge. I've come to far to lose the streak at day 9.

More later...
