Day 2

My yoga studio has changed the type of class they offer from Bikram to this Bikram-esque class that is only 50 minutes.  Due to the shorter class, they are able to offer 50+ classes each week.  So to kick off the new schedule, the studio is doing a 50/10 challenge:  50 classes in 10 weeks.  I just finished my second day.

It will be an easy challenge for me except for the consistency over the 10 week period since I usually take a 'break' every couple of months and not go as much as I normally do (or as much as I should).  While I think it will be easy, it did make me laugh when someone else told me it would be easy.  "That's only 5 days a week."  It was funny to me because I really don't know ANYONE who exercises 5 days a week!!!

thankful - 2

This morning I am thankful for sore muscles. I had not been to a 90-minute marathon-of-a-yoga-class in about two weeks. I had a good class and loved the heat in the room now that the temperatures outside are dropping. Yesterday I felt the benefit of nicely stretched muscles all day and today they are doing a fantastic job of reminding me I need to go more often. Even so, I am thankful I have the physical ability to move them. As they say in class, you can either have pain by not moving your body or you can have pain by moving your body. I will take the second one - thanks!
