7:15am...Chasity
"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right!" ~Henry Ford
Starting to get frustrating.. This whole detox process. Feels like I'm going backwards sometimes.. After class today I had a talk with Chasity. I asked her if there's anything I can do different to make my class go easier or make sure that I'm being safe about it now that I'm going every day. She asked what I was eating, when I come to class, if I've been doing anything different since I started. She said it's completely normal, I'm approaching it correct, and I know my body and when to take it easy. Chasity and Oleg said to keep strong you just go to class every day, do what you can do, and you will get better and better. They also said that at about Day 10 is when that initial detox process is over and it gets easier to be in the room and push yourself harder. Makes sense.. She said in the meantime, do all you can do and take a break when you need to. She also said, eat what you crave. I totally believe in that! Your body needs it for a reason, that's why you're craving it. It's so funny how even practicing regularly, it's NOTHING at all like going daily! I'm hoping they're right and in a few days i'll feel more renewed. I'm sure I'm detoxing all the Holiday crap out too, didn't really think about that!

I am loving your blog Cat!! Good luck with your challenge, just keep going everyday and accept your body for what it is each day. There are so many factors that have an effect on our practice, some we can control and are aware of; others we don't even think about. My personal practice has been lacking lately but I am going to start the 30 day challenge on Saturday. I may even join you in the blogging..
Cat~ Don't get discouraged ever. Just keep going. It's funny because you will start to feel very strong at some points in the challenge and suddenly you might get run over by that damn yoga truck again and be a hot mess. It's all part of the process and don't ever beat yourself up. So glad you are doing a challenge! A fellow Vegas yogi! You've got great teachers over there at GV. :)
YAY HOLLIE:) It's fun blogging about it, and I can look back and see how I felt on certain days and how I'm advancing and everything..I'm also writing down what I eat to see how that affects me too... I'm just realizing I have to eat a lot! Good, healthy food, but a lot..Which isn't a bad thing;) My goal is to not lose much weight.. A couple of pounds is fine, but I want to mostly maintain my weight and just work on the muscle tone, strength, and flexibility.
Thanks guys! I love it, even though it's kickin my ass right now;).. But it's a CHALLENGE, so I should expect a challenge!
YES we do have great teachers over there! I love our yoga community:) Thanks for the advice!!
I needed to hear this....this is me, this week, sometimes I just need to stop and break...next week I will do what I can and break without feeling weak. I changed my spot, found out I was matting up in the no oxygen spot..got to move around here and there...eat and drink what my body craves...Good job Cat. xo/V
Your being helpful to me.
Oooh I'm glad Vivian! I also moved my spot today!XO
