1. Play in Illustrator and create a new AD, due by COB today! (I really love this part of my marketing job)
2. Run home and throw together Day 2 of CrockPot week. Thinking Cilantro Lime Chicken tonight since I have the necessary ingredients for that meal.
3. Rush over to Yoga this afternoon from 6:00PM-7:15PM
4. Trek up to Rockville via metro to meet up with AJ and Sketchy for MNF! Stupid fantasy. I need RGiii and Santana Moss to completely screw up in order to win this week -- a win I really need!
Yoga is something I never tried until a random summer in college. I went to one class and absolutely fell in love. At the time I was also running regularly so was somewhat in shape to get through a yoga class. I did Vinyasa yoga which is just constant flow between poses/stretches. I always describe yoga as the one and only time in my life when my brain is seriously completely blank. It is the most incredible and stress-relieving feeling one can have. I then went on to take semester long classes at GW which made life a lot better in all respects! Then two years ago I just stopped yoga and running and everything!
Trying to get my shit together again and starting with something I know I once loved -- Yoga. A couple weeks ago I reached out to a couple friends (one of whom got me INTO Yoga in the first place -- Catherine) to see if they would go to a class with me. I feel going with other people makes you more motivated to actually go! I was so disheartened to see how much had changed in two years with my body. I could hardly get through the first half of the class and was very far from being able to do the stretches properly. The next couple of days I was super sore.
BUT this made me even more motivated to get back on the Yoga bandwagon and challenge myself to get back to that place I was so long ago! Catherine regularly attends classes and passed along an amazing Cyber Monday deal from the place she goes -- Meridian Yoga. I bought some deals and now have about 17 classes to use. I'm signed up for today and Wednesday. Hoping things get better by the 10th class. I feel that is a reasonable goal. At any rate, there are awesome introductory deals: http://www.meridianyogadc.com/. Hopefully once I build up the breathing and endurance aspects through Yoga I can start running again. This past weekend I registered for a simple 5K Color Run at National Harbor for mid May. I'd really love to be able to run that race by then.
Here's to making goals, sticking with them and accomplishing them (also to getting my ass into gear to be able to wear something amazing for the wedding and to love my wedding photos!).
