3/57

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...
