today...aaargh!

so, today was a little stressful (internship for 10 hours, traffic, tired, etc), but i am proud to say that i came home and did my yoga for 20 minutes. i didn't walk the dog because i was exhausted. i have been taking the stairs consistently, except for when i go to the basement to get to the parking garage (the stairs that go to the basement are kind of creepy...). i only take the car a couple of times a week so my elevator usage is pretty low.

anyway, i was sore yesterday from the yoga on monday. i had forgotten that because you use ALL your muscles in yoga, it can be a little rough on your body when you haven't worked out for a while. the posture pictured below is my nemesis at this point (sorry, i couldn't find a better picture, so the little man in tights will have to do). i have never had a strong upper body and this pose is extremely challenging for me, so my goal is to get to the point when i can actually do it correctly and feel comfortable. it may not look challenging, but trust me on this one!

my eating has been terrible, but i really am working on it. my years of bad habits are creeping up on me and i am really struggling, but it will be okay! progress is what i am looking for not perfection, right?!
