but when I did not practice, I regretted not having done so." So says David Swenson (I think I am paraphrasing).
This morning I woke up groggy and tired, again due to Will climbing in bed at 4:15 and waking me up. I had to move to his bed shortly thereafter, because he was crowding me, but it took me a while to fall back asleep and waking up was like swimming up from the bottom of the ocean.
I seriously debated blowing off the hot 90 this morning, something I never do because I love going. I was so tired, though, that I thought I might feel better if I didn't go. My arms still felt pretty fatigued from yesterday, and I felt stiff all over. I went anyway...and as I have experienced before, I had a great practice. I still felt foggy throughout which actually helped because I didn't have monkey-mind. I felt pretty bendy and had good stamina and balance. I sweated a ton and just got in a groove with ujjayi breathing and focusing on Jenny's dialogue.
During the final savasana, I pushed up into a backbend. My arms didn't want to support me, so I didn't stay long, but when I was up I was able to see myself in the mirror and my feet were turned out to 45 degrees. I guess I am just going to have to build up more strength.
I did a couple of half-hearted sun salutations when I got home, but I zoned out during Surya B and forgot what I was doing...ha! I couldn't remember which foot I had lunged with first then I just blanked. I had to go look at the book to remember what to do.
I wanted to make myself a bunless burger for lunch, but I was too tired to even do that so I ate some leftover pasta. I did have a salad with it, though. Then just a few minutes ago I ate a bunch of organic m & m's. I now feel the most alert I have all day - though I think it's just the "omigod, I can't believe I just ate that" shock factor.
Hopefully I will feel less foggy tomorrow. No practice - I have a 7:45 meeting at school for the news show celebration, then a haircut at 10:45, I need to go to Michael's and to Lenscrafters, then Will's progress conference is at 2:00.
