Half way done with Yoga-January!

Went to yoga last night and it was quite different to the intro session! I got there really early as I suspected that there would be a January rush and perhaps the class would be full. Well as it turned out there were only 7 people in the class, so plenty of space and no need to get there so early. Good to know for next time.

So the class itself – pretty full on! It was very enjoyable. I didn’t attempt any headstands, but I’m proud to say I managed a full wheel! Altho that was a bit of a strain on my lower back – but no aches from it today so all good. Was in a pretty special state at the end of it – felt incredibly loose limbed and relaxed, and on the verge of giggles for a few hours after!

So as I was resting on the floor in the final relaxation at the end of the session, the familiar thoughts began to buzz around my head like fruit flies: “This is great! I should sign up! I’ll go 3 times a week and I’ll be super fit! I could take a course! Go on one of the yoga retreats! Hm I wonder what India is like this time of year?” See this is what I always do. Get completely carried away, and then interest wanes over the course of the next few weeks….so I snapped out of it this time, knowing that there would be a new thing to get excited about next month. And you know, I could always continue with yoga if I really get in to it. There’s nothing stopping me from doing the odd drop-in session now that I know where and when to go!

My mood has been on top form this morning - did the morning walk before work (3rd time this week!) and feeling pretty damned good! Now just have to get the food under control and the weight SHOULD start going in the right direction again...
