Last night I was not sure if I wanted to go to yoga (just due to pure exhaustion) but I woke up BEFORE my alarm clock, so I crawled out of bed and into my yoga clothes! I ate half a peanut butter cookie Lara bar and chugged down my "sweat water" and an Emergen-C. I have found that those three things make a great combination before a morning class! It only took me 29 classes to figure it out :-) When I made it into the hot room, I really just wanted to go back to sleep so I laid down to enjoy the heat until class began. I was still counting all of the reasons I didn't want to be there but since I finally caught up with my two doubles in one week, I didn't want to do a double unless I needed to! As I opened my eyes to start the class, it was like Bikram had sent me a yogi angel--Radio was putting her mat down right next to me! She gave me the strength and energy I needed to get through those 90 minutes! Thankfully Tyler left me alone today and I was able to give it just some of my energy, not all 110% that I typically try to give! I did all 26 postures, I stayed in the room, I sweated and I put class number 29 into my report card! The instructors always say that sometimes, you go into that hot room and all you can do is just lay there, but at least you are there! I thought about trying to just lay there the entire 90 minutes, but I couldn't bring myself to do it! Cest la vie!
We were supposed to go to brunch with a friend but unfortunately the scheduling didn't work out so Sarah and I enjoyed brunch at Magnolia Cafe solo, and did some wedding planning! I had an omelette with avocado, cheese, turkey and black beans! Tasty but I think later my stomach did not appreciate all that cheese :-( I also enjoyed some coffee, hoping it would give me the energy I needed to get through my busy Sunday, but I don't think it did its job. Oh well!
I feel like I never stopped going today and I just wanted to nap! I am thankful for Sarah helping me get through this busy day and making the best Red Beans and Rice while I was at work study! We used some sausage from the Farmer's Market and it was such a great addition to an already delicious meal! I also enjoyed another snake bite with another Green's gf beer! It was the Amber Ale this time--the one from yesterday was a tad sweeter! Apparently this beer is made in Belgium, so it's no wonder it's better than the other gluten free beers!

I am excited about rising to the half way marker tomorrow! Hopefully my yogi angel will be on the mat right next to me! One of my favorite teachers, Lisa, kicking my ass for 90 minutes! Bring it, #30!
