Holy cow it's late folks! I just got home and my eyes are closing; but I promised a daily blog, so here we are. This is dedication: pure dedication, or madness. At this point I'm not sure...
So, today I did the class before going to the beach and I am glad I did because if not I would be rolling out that mat right now and it is 1:30 am on this side of the pond.
Today was one of those days that I was about to completely skip doing yoga. I was dog tired and I had only woken up! I didn't get enough hours sleep time and it was a restless sleep, so I seriously considered bailing out. It would have been my first time to do so also: I have not skipped one single day yogis!
In the end, my OCD won and I rolled out that mat thinking I would have to come to child's pose more than once. Boy, was I wrong! I thought the first series of five would kill my thighs and I would have to rest; but I did them all like always. For the cycle of ten I was sure I'd be down on my knees by cycle six; but I was able to do all ten of them like always, but there was one big difference. All those other times I had been breathing double time for the cycle of ten -2 inhales and exhales instead of one-. Today I was able to breathe exactly as instructed by Travis and by the end of the cycles I was sweating and my heart was racing; but the breath was calm.
Needless to say I was grinning like an idiot for the rest of the day. Wow! I have really improved miles and miles from that first time doing Cardio and we're not even halfway through the program! It felt wonderful, let me tell ya.
I then rolled that mat back up and went to the beach where I immediately died and napped till lunchtime. I had one of those homemade sandwiches and a fresh peach for dessert. Of course, I napped right after.
After the beach, we got home, took a quick shower and changed to go have dinner to one of our dearest friend's house. There we had delish raclettes for dinner and we chatted the night away.
I apologize for not having any pics today of the food, but one: it was a pretty hectic day and two: I just felt weird asking to take a pic of my friend's raclettes, you know?
So there ya have it folks. I promise I'll do a better blog tomorrow, but right now I really just wanna jump in that bed and get some shut eye.
Tomorrow is Mellow Monday and all will be calmer.
Sending good vibes your way! Namaste.
Doing cardio then walking miles in Whitby, North Yorkshire was exhausting but I am keeping on at it as I don't want to skip a day as I have made it this far lol. I foamed rolled my entire body in the afternoon when we got back to the B&B and then used this chamomile and clove gel on my very tired and sore muscles lol.
ReplyDeleteAlmost halfway through the challenge and I am getting tired. Doing it at home is one thing, but doing it while on holiday,I find it a bit more difficult to motivate myself. Very happy tomorrow is Mountain Pose. 😀
I hear ya. I went on holiday to Granada while doing UY and it was quite the challenge keeping up with it. Just so you can see the level of dedication -or OCD- I had with this program, I ended up doing Strength at midnight after walking through the whole Alhambra. Just keep reading. It's all in here ;)
DeleteOMG you are a machine! I can't exercise at night. I do it after I have had a coffee in the morning. Otherwise I just won't do it!
