yoga-cize

hello!  i am so tired.  it's a combination of not sleeping for like 23 hours a day, as i grew accustomed to doing during the break from school, and the fact that i'm actually really working during the day.  i'm struggling with being exhausted and still wanting to have my life, watch tv, make dinner and clean up after myself.  however, i've managed two full days of it, and am very proud of myself.

this afternoon, i went to a new yoga class with a friend of mine from work and it seriously kicked my ass.  it was so incredibly difficult - i ran track for seven years and never sweat as much during a workout as i did today in that class.  i felt like i was running an impossible race, possibly because the instructor was calling out poses like this: "warrior pose, inhale, plank pose, exhale, upward facing dog, inhale, downward facing dog."  read that sentence and then imagine doing all those things as quickly as you read it.  exactly.  i feel awesome now, though, and the class had the added benefit of being filled to capacity with beautiful people with amazing bodies (including diane lane!*), which was, surprisingly, more motivating than it was depressing.  i just hope i can move tomorrow.

*i think it's totally bizarre that i could just walk into a yoga class diane lane was taking.  i don't really know why i feel like that's so bizarre, but i guess when someone is a bazillionaire famous person, you might expect they wouldn't dane to sweat it out in a public class.
