Frustration. That is what I felt today. Frustration. I am surprised that I could even think to identify the emotion. It was hot. Damn hot. And I was miffed. Not for any particular reason, I was just feeling ggrrr...
Why couldn't I do the pose like that girl over there?!
Eyes on your own eyes in the mirror...
Ok, I'll look at unbalanced, inflexible me. Why can't I do what I could do yesterday?! I am flopping like a fish!
Push, Push, Push further...
I AM TRYING! (insert graceful fall to the floor)
If you fall, pick yourself up and try again. You get another chance...
Great, a metaphor... thanks (insert weeping) I am so tired! I am trying to pick my foot up to stretch it over my head backwards and upside-down but I am just so weak!! I feel like a wet noodle. Agha!
CHARGE FORWARD...Stretch... Stretch... Stretch...
(gasping) Ok, I'll try this again.
I don't think I drank enough water again... I am going to have to chug bigger gulps of water through the day. I just don't think that I drink enough on a daily basis. A big chunk of time was spent on the mat recuperating in between postures because of it. Some I had to skip entirely. This morning I changed my mind at the last minute and went to an earlier class than I had planned, which meant that I hadn't eaten anything all day before the 10:30am class. Urg. My body was not a fan of the decision.
But, I stayed in the room. Goal accomplished.
Off to drink more water...
we are in this together...that is what keeps me going
