WEDNESDAY
Yoga with teacher Derek. When I was at my redest and sweatiest, he told me I looked like I had just had a facial. I was glowing and beautiful. Always nice to hear!
THURSDAY
An awesome gym workout. I ran a solid 9:30 pace and it felt great. Then I did some hardcore core work. Who needs a personal trainer?
FRIDAY
Yoga with master teacher Lynn Witlow. I'll admit this wasn't as much of a highlight as it was a reality check. She made us hold the poses for real. And it was HARD. A real highlight, a shirt I've been lusting after that's been out of stock FOR MONTHS was back in stock. So I bought it FAST. I will soon be looking extra fabulous.
SATURDAY
Date night with Josh at Aquagrill in a purdy new dress. It was amazeballs. And I looked fabulous!
SUNDAY
Posture clinic with Lynn Witlow! I gotta admit, after all the date night drinks, I wasn't too excited about getting up early and going to yoga ALL DAY. (Literally. The class was from 10am to 4pm) But it was amazing and I learned so much. Basically all of my problems in class can be solved by doing the following:
- Activate my inner thighs. Those muscles are there for a reason. USE THEM!
- FOCUS
- Get out of my head and stop over thinking everything. Just do it!
I also realized something else about myself. This yoga is hard. It's supposed to be hard. And it's not supposed to get easier the longer you do it. But I've been making it too easy. I let myself come out of postures early because they're hard. I don't try some things because they're hard. Hard isn't the enemy. Hard is a challenge. A chance to triumph and overcome! And sure, I take on hard things, like Bikram yoga and marathon running, but even in those, I do just the bare minimum. I don't challenge myself to try harder. No more of this! If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got. This is easier said than done, but I'm going to try harder to try harder.
On to next week!
