Day 3 of 60 (Double Trouble)

I rushed like a mad dog to try to get to the studio knowing the 210 would be a mess, got up really early still dark outside, made spaghetti for the kids lunch, made them breakfast b/c they dont like dad's scramble eggs..he's the chef. Quized my son for his big test (he's in 5th grade) and made coffee, I know coffee is bad.. but I have yet the strength to give up my coffee (French Press baby with Peet's Major Dickerson's corse grind) I am getting my yoga bag ready with an extra change of clothes and towels for a double.

My three year old was still sleeping as I snuck out of the house feeling a bit guilty not saying bye or taking him to preschool like I normally do, but normally I don't get to go to Yoga on Friday b/c Friday night is family dinner (sushi) night... I went to class and had Brooke as the teacher, got to see our other teachers like Val and Jeff there as well..in fact on Thursday morning I didnt know till the floor exercises that Jeff was next to me...see I was being focused..I just thought there was some very bendy/flexible dude next to me.

It was a good class I was in the back row and I have not been in the back row in months, my vision is so poor if I was in the back I couldnt see to the mirror (and this is me who hates the mirror) but there was a neat part of being in the back, there was less pressure of anyone seeing me from behind and I thought I would lay low... but instead b/c I didnt see the mirror I really listened to Brooke's instruction.. One lightbulb moment was the Triangle pose I never put my elbow by my knee...but then again my knee had issues and I didnt want to put too much pressure on it. Overall great classes, even though there was no fan love...just teasers... you know all you instructors do that, walk around the switches...you see all of us getting excited, then you either walk away or turn it on to immediately turn it off..that's just cruel hahahahaa.  By the last few floor poses I was wiped out...feeling heck if I can do another class immediately after....so as class was done I went to the lobby to pass out and feel the cool breeze of the front door. Saw Val and asked her if I should attempt to take her next class, she said it's up to you..BUT you should b/c I'm teaching..

Ok fine, went to the dressing room changed my clothes so I won't kill my neighbor with stink and changed my towels...thinking, praying, that I will survive the class. I would hate it if I would sit down through poses or walk out... I wanted to bring it!  I noticed during my half moon pose my arms were cramping up..I noticed my face getting hotter.... I just said keep going...keep going, drank more water than I normally would and was scared I would puke water, then to later hear Val tell a story of a student who puked water after camel...I was like oh oh.. but still drank water..I had a empty stomach so nothing should come up.  I did survive the class and even tried to crack a smile here and there...I am glad I did it, but did feel very light headed afterwards. I had my veggie juice (kale, spinach, ginger, celery, apples) and 100 oz of water. But my big tip aside from veggie juice is MISO SOUP, it's healthy but salty...that really helped. Today I noticed my left (fractured knee) was bothering me...normally I would say hey I would skip the weekend and go on the mend but no I can't...sorry Bernandette I will miss your 6am class and go to either the 3 or 5pm class to give my knee some time.

I was on an immediate conference call with the president of my company, he wants me to go to Charlotte NC to train the team there ugh...is there Bikram there dang it...don't send me anywhere in the 60 days...
