If I could lose weight and attain spiritual enlightenment on a diet of bread dipped in chocolate, while drinking vodka...I wouldn't need yoga...or this blog...or your encouraging comments to help me keep on trucking.

I was super excited about my Groupon purchase for the yoga room. I have a pal who also purchased the Groupon and will be doing classes with me. My thoughts "this will be great for next month". Right? Next month, after getting a little bit familiar with yoga again, building some confidence (and losing more weight that any other human being ever has in 4 weeks...hey, it could happen). I mean I had a solid plan. My pal, apparently quite a little eager beaver, shot me a text about taking our first class on Sunday...uhhhhh, as in...tomorrow???? Panic in sued, heart pounded, mouth dried up. Oh crap. 

I had to very quickly weigh my options, and they weren't good. Either face all my fears, ones that include foolish things such as: me being the chunky monkey in the front row that falls flat on her face during a Downward Dog pose; while the rest of her perfectly proportionate class glide effortlessly into a Scorpion Handstand. Unfortunately, as scary as all the crazy scenarios are in my head, I have decided...I love yoga...I can feel the pull to "go for it" and really take things to a more realistic level outside of my living room. I can also feel the panic that there is a chance that my friend could start without me and use up her month of unlimited classes. That would then leave me to go into a class all by my lonesome. No-ho sir, not this girl. 


Yup, I felt the pull, I felt the panic, and I worked my magic by pushing it back as far as I could. Tuesday...evening. Time to get my Asana in gear.
