Like promised, I am going to keep you guys in the loop with my yoga challenge. If you live in Houston, here is the link for the studio. It is a fantastic studio, with all kinds of amazing people. I am really enjoying my time there, and I have practiced at a lot of studios in town, and none of them have made me feel so right about being there. Basically super friendly and welcoming!
Day 1:
So no joke, I was super anxious about how this was all going to go down! (Yoga, group meeting and outings and oh yes life) But again everyone is so incredibly lovely that Day 1 went flawlessly. I was stunned about how many people were actually at the studio at the same time. One class leaving, one level arriving and a group meeting entering. Pure insanity! Regardless, I was surprised how quickly I got out of there and home to dinner by 8pm. By the way, if you haven’t been to a place called Whiskey Cake, I highly recommend it and yes have the Fried Green Tomatoes, omg so good.
Day 2:
Today, super easy! My home practice! ( 5 Studio practices and 1 at home) I had a social event right after work and without end time. It was just best to be this way.
Day 3 :
It was a little more hectic coming from work to the studio and getting ready at the studio for my event. Of course, everything worked out to plan. I had one of my FrontRow events over at Kendra Scott in the Village. So I wasn’t going to miss that or time with my girlfriends. Then we went over to A’Bousy for a wonderful multi-birthday celebration. The funny thing about having a good time and having champs is that one bottle is never enough. Then we went and had more laughs over at Armadillo Palace. Overall, a great day and night.
Day 4 :
Work was the usual stress, so it was nice to be able to go home and wind down a bit before going to class. I was stressed out, mildly hungover but I got my book in the mail for the group meetings. Why is this all speaking to me the way it is? It is just more and more clear to me, this is what I need to be doing. Now, I haven’t sweat the way I did, nor could keep my balance to save my life. Super embarrassing considering the number of people in the room. But I blame the champs from the night before. Luckily, I had an uneventful evening planned. Just had dinner and went to bed.
Day 5 :
Day off! Yep, that’s right, I was just beyond sore, and I wanted to go see a movie and just hang out. I went to go see The Favourite at IPIC in ROD, yes remember I’m a history geek. The film was entirely not what I thought it would be. I figured more of a Pride and Prejudice, but not at all. I won’t give out the spoiler, but I would recommend it. Of course, I had all my favorite treats from there, bubbly and those Buffalo chicken spring rolls, YUMMY, however the service and a little on the shitty side.
Day 6 :
So I went to Group Meeting this morning, let me tell you, it was the best free therapy I have ever received. Laugh, cried, and had some breakthroughs. I was able to plan what I want to feel and where I want to go on my journey thru the 40 days. Afterward, I went over to the museum of fine arts. I went to go see the Tudors to Windsors exhibit because it was the last weekend and I got myself a membership for my birthday. It was pretty cool, but I expected more. What didn’t disappoint, was a great lunch at El Tiempo. At 3pm, I went back to BIG for my yoga class. Oh man, this was a super sweaty and super full class, but like always, I LOVED IT!
Day 7:
I woke up feeling not so great, damn allergies. I got groceries and breakfast delivered. Finished cleaning from the week before. Ran errands to the car wash and world market. Then I went to my 5th yoga class. The room was 97% full. This by far was the biggest class I have ever been to. The hottest, temperature wise, class. And yes I thought I was going to puke halfway thru. But overall im just happy with myself that I was able to get thru the week!
I am looking forward to whatever is around the corner!
