I started yoga, finally, three weeks ago, and absolutely love it. Mostly.
This morning was a bit of a struggle. It's going to be a long road.
I started with a lot of negativity today. Not sure why: just woke up a little tired. I looked forward to yoga, but it was a strain right away, and my brain went right to, "God. Three times a week for the rest of my life?"
Plus, I've been doing everything imaginable to help my back. Started a daily spreadsheet of activities, pain and tightness to document what leads to the next bad patch, and used it to log every time I stretch, shooting for five times a day of 10-15 minutes.
And I was very happy about it, until this morning it suddenly seemed like a huge, endless struggle.
But I felt much better at the end of yoga. I've got a great teacher, too--Tim Bouldry at David Barton Gym. He's always exuding joy and plus he said he was proud of me today. That helped immeasurably.
Helped. It will be a challenging day.
