So tonight is my 7th consecutive class and I’m looking forward to finishing up my mini-challenge to earn that cute tank top from the studio. I was really looking forward to taking tomorrow off and letting my body (and mind) have a rest. I think after last night’s rant/semi-meltdown, it’s pretty obvious that I need a break.
But then I sat down with a calendar and figured out how many days I still need to do in order to finish all 60 days of my challenge. I’m 11 days behind on my challenge. This is what the month of October looks like for me in order to catch up and finish all 60 days on time:
Look at that nonsense and tell me my life doesn’t suck! It’s a good thing I bought a second water bottle this weekend! I may even have to start using my rubber mat and towels, or suck it up and pay the $50 for a second mat (which I’m thinking of doing actually). And maybe I’ll chop off all my hair and quit wearing makeup too so I can make the whole showering and getting dressed thing easier in the mornings.
I’m pretty determined to at least catch up to where I need to be, but whether or not I actually finish all 60 days is a horse of a different color. Please wish me all the luck in the world. You have no idea how much I’m looking forward to this Saturday so I can get a damn day off! And then I’ll have a solid month of zero days off. I guess this is where the whole “one day at a time” thing takes over and I put all my faith in a higher power.
No Mistakes.
P.S. I read an article the other day (or maybe it was a blog on here?) where the author once asked an Olympic trainer what the secret to success and finishing your goals is. The trainer said the normal things you’d expect: dedication, discipline, genetic jackpot, etc. But he also said that the most successful people were the ones who figured out how to deal with the monotony of training. Not every yoga class is going to be stellar; I’m not going to nail every back bend, some of the classes are going to be hotter than others. Finishing my challenge on time is going to require my getting used to these facts. Ya, it’s going to suck getting up at 5:30 every morning to go to class, but that’s just part of the shitty, boring, monotonous process on the way to success.
