Update: I'm Still Here! I Promise!

I promise, I haven't forgotten about this blog or my yoga challenge!

But if I had, it would be this guy's fault.

After my son was hospitalized, I took a hiatus from this blog in order to take time to focus on him. He's been sick on and off and he's needed some extra love from his mom. However, he's doing better so I'm aiming to start my challenge back up again (although I suppose it's going to be more of 365 non-consecutive days of yoga rather than a year of daily practice--unless I extend it. But one thing at a time). Before I do though, I wanted to post an update on how I've been without daily yoga.

In a word: yuck.

Physically: EVERYTHING HURTS. My muscles are stiff, my back is out of alignment, and I feel like every day I discover new aches and pains. Sure, I had the occasional sore day while doing yoga but overall I felt better.

Exhaustion: I am so freaking tired and not just because I have a baby. I had more energy when I was doing yoga . . . right? Exhaustion makes it difficult to remember my own name.

Mentally: My brain fog has been particularly bad. This could be due to how tired I've been but I've been having a hard time focusing.


I keep thinking of that quote about how it's important to spend ten minutes a day in meditation but if you don't have ten minutes, sit for an hour. Basically those who think they don't have time need more . . . I think. I'm excited to get back into daily yoga . . . right after I take a ten minute hour long nap.
