Hello and happy Saturday!

Sun is shinning and I just finished a new Yoga class, and I am happy to report.. I loved everything about it!

I have been practicing Yoga for about a year. I try to get to my local YMCA Yoga, Body Flow, or gym as often as I can, and I also have some wonderful videos I can play at home when I am in a pinch.

But really, to benefit completely , I need someone standing over me or I tend to get lazy…WHAT ? YES, I GET LAZY!

Yes, I cheat! Not good at all. I am getting better and beginning to self motivate and police my moves. I absolutely still put more effort into practice when I am being watched! I think I also like the group feel, its just so inspiring!

That’s what I like about Coaching.. I have someone who is always supporting my efforts and cheering me on.. Yes , I do have my own coach.

Anyway, I was so pumped about this class, finding one that meets my schedule is not always easy! This yoga class began at 8:30 this morning and like everyday for me, I forget to set my reminder. Today was no difference. : (

So, as you can imagine at 8:10am, that crazy light bulb in my head goes off and I say

” What am I forgetting to do?”

And the made rush begins, can not go to Yoga in my PJ’s. OK, so I have worn my Pj’s before to yoga.. No, the compliments were not pouring in, but that’s Ok.

Find pants.. freaking dog hair is everywhere. This weather is not making it easy for shedding puppies! Where’s my lint roller…black yoga pants and dog hair are worse than PJ’s.

Sneakers.. coat.. keys.. GO!

Yes, I was disheveled but I made it with one minute to spare!

Good news, I had polished my toes nails!

I was welcomed with such excitement, met some new friends and enjoyed relaxing and stretching my body!

AND , happy to say the amazing instructor is ok with those who show up late! Probably not such a great thing to tell this chick.. so I will pretend I did not hear that ,start setting my alarm and make sure that I show up on time…in less I forget!

PS.. getting back into spin class and dragging my daughter along! She loves it!

Go get motivated, and have an amazing day!
