I'm telling myself I can do this.
Carve out 10 minutes of my day to practice.
I haven't since my last post.

I'm doing my best not beat myself up over it.
I've been extremely tired. I don't know why really.
My back is still bothering me - right side still extremely tight.
I made an appointment with my chiropractor hoping he can loosen things up.

This morning I woke up a little frantic because I overslept a little (which is becoming common) and my mom called me with news of the schools being clo… Continue

I didn't really make any resolutions this year.
I just decided I needed to take better care of myself.
I turned a year older & with having diabetes running rampant thru my mama's side of the family,
I figured it's time to get my butt in gear and be as healthy as possible.
I said it before, i got big plans this year
& I gotta be the best me I can be.

However, this week I have been extremely tired. While practicing this morning, I realized my body going thru some sort of detoxification pr… Continue

That's what my daughter said to me while I was doing downward dog.

My lower back is extremely tight.
Tighter than usual.
I spent most of day 3 in bed with
a sore back and a really bad headache.
So I didn't get to my mat that day.

Today, I took a few minutes to work on
some twists to help loosen up my back.
My back feels a little better,
but my midsection feels alive right now.
Like it's been reenergized.

Looking forward to tomorrow's practice.

My body did not want to cooperate this morning.
I couldn't seem to focus & my daughter kept interrupting me.
I found myself very discouraged at times, but I pushed through.

Today's practice included:
10 minutes of Sun Salutations and some floor work.

My lower back is a bit sorer than usual.
Tomorrow will be better.
