Day 16 and I’m feeling so incredibly great I have stuck to coming every day to the Kava Bar not a very difficult commitment to keep since I’m hear most nights BUT now I’m doing yoga for an hour and a half of the 897897354 hours I spend here any way.
The time spent sweating is slowly showing and the best was when I open the door for my daughters and one said “wow, mom you look skinny” and the other agreed remarks such as those coming form these two is a “big deal” so I took it as a huge compliment to my accomplishment of coming every night to do the class. See that’s the only true goal I set out for myself when I took this on.
Commit to 40 continuous days of doing yoga, period.
The funny thing was the whole activity is such a no brainer I’m here all the time. And even so on that second day when some of my muscles introduced themselves to the rest of my body, ouch and sweet at the same time. That naughty side of my brain said, “oh ouch let’s not go tonight” and the less-naughty side of my brain said, “but it’s at the Kava Bar where else will we do?”
Yeah that’s how intensely non dedicated my commitments to get fit and work out actually are I’m just being honest with myself I sometimes like it start of big but never follow through. (i.e. stay fat/not fit)
The work is showing, even by not focusing in on it nor do I want to become one of those OCD Mirror Looker “fit person” The mantras are new, okay with that, the mudras are new, okay with that as well.The instructor has a unique style allowing me to practice other forms of yoga (lol) but overall dedicated, knowledgeable and strict. Which makes it all good I’m only here for 40 days.
In the few weeks that this routine has become my life I welcome the way my jeans feel and the “compliments” of having lost weight from people I haven’t seen in a while, but this one commitment alone has gotten me out of bed, made my day bearable, gave me something to look forward to and now the place I can release, take in, challenge, breathe, grow, and leave behind the "life part" of our lifes' and our lives could be so much happier. Yoga has really filled those voids at different times. I feel healthy, heartfelt with love and compassion for everything I do and everyone I deal with and just try to stick to that throughout my day and always knowing I have my yoga class to go to later and all will be well. And so the day seems so great no matter what....
