Well, the day progressed rather fast.... and my eating was not the best. It wasn't bad I ate too much food, it was bad because I didn't eat much. Everyone knows that lack of nutrition equals lack of energy, which means a tough time with getting through a workout.
So I finally made it home, with my sticky mat/yoga mat out and dvd in the player, and no excuses in sight. I got changed and I started the DVD as planned. It started out with much fun, and memories of past yoga classes. We did various warrior poses, venyas, planks, downward/upward dogs.... I was working up a sweat and it felt good. At this point in time, I am about 30 minutes into this session. Unfortunately I took advantage of the pause button on my remote and I had to suffer the consequences. I would pause the DVD and resume to try moves that I felt were beyond my skill level. I would fall over and get back up. I would try to balance and my foot would slip. I would try to mimic the move on the TV and curse Mr. Horton. Thirty minutes later, yet only 15 minutes later in DVD world, I had to turn this workout off and take my shower to get ready for bed.
I have to say, I had no intentions of quitting but with every "pause and resume" I felt more and more frustrated. I felt that the frustrations today were not worth getting through the workout so I conceded. I do have to add in here that my lack of balance today may also be influenced by my unbalanced hormones that occur about this time of the month.
Tomorrow is a new day and a new workout. I don't think that there are any other ridiculously long workouts this week, and I am determined to get through the rest planned with this first round. I will also do better with keeping myself full of energy which should translate into a better workout. (But) For today.....I didn't succeed at first.
