OK, so forget about using the ten days prior to May 15th to prepare for the "30-Day Challenge" - somehow, it started yesterday.
What happened is that the studio put up a big sign-up board with the chart to mark progress, but people just started checking off days as soon as it went up (Wednesday, I think). My sister and I signed up and, knowing that we had the option of starting yesterday or waiting until we were ready, decided it would be best to just go for it. I thought about it all throughout class. I tend to think these things happen for a reason.
I still think this is the best thing to do, it's just that I have drank alcohol for three nights in a row now (yikes), I'm probably going to be drinking tonight, and next weekend we are having a massive rager at our house. Help? I was supposed to be in my best form for this stupid challenge. I should have known - this is exactly how I go into things: completely disorganized and unprepared. (So at least I'm used to it.)
Needless to say, I'm a little worried, but I should still be able to swing this. I have a will of steel!
Meanwhile, regarding yesterday's class:
I feel vast improvement in the fourth part of Half-Moon pose, the forward bend. My top and bottom half are totally glued together now whereas before there was usually lots of room "for light or air". I still can't get my pinky fingers touching underneath my heels, though, and I'm starting to think the problem might be physiological. Why can't I do it? Maybe I should ask someone about it after class.
Now that I can get my toes all the way around my calves in Eagle, my balance has taken a nose dive. Eagle has become a very challenging pose.
I was able to hold second set Standing Bow for the full thirty seconds on both sides.
Triangle was pure torture yesterday. I couldn't even do second set. Oh my God.
The floor series went well but I felt like I did something weird to my leg in Camel. After that pose I was quite anxious for the class to be over. Nonetheless it was a great class and I really did feel a lot better coming out than going in, as I felt kinda crappy yesterday.
I'm actually off to class right now. Bye!
