Day 6 /Class 6 - The Rejuvination

This morning I woke up before my alarm, not a completely uncommon occurrence, but lately not too common. I was done with my shower, breakfast a little blog hopping and out the door in 45 minutes. Pretty good for a Friday. I was doing pretty well until 11:00am. I'm sitting in my organizational behavior class, starting to get a little dizzy, my face getting flushed, and I can not concentrate. For the past 2 hours I have been sneezing like a mad woman and blowing my nose in the most unladylike fashion, and now I was fading fast. An hour to go in OB and I am sunk. I already ate all my morning snacks, I've gotten up to pee twice, and I have no idea what my professor was saying.

Somehow my body stayed in that class, but my mind was completely absent. Malka, my trusty companion, met me for lunch and we were joined with our friend Phil at a local pub. I was so hungry I almost went into the kitchen to nab some fries. Finally fed, but still really needing a nap, the last thing I wanted to do was go to yoga.

I kept thinking to myself - "Just one day off, come on, that would be so nice, I can recover, I'll be better when I go back. It will be great." But Malka would not have it. She came with me to her first class earlier this week and she was determined to go again. She wanted to see if she could stay in the room the whole time, and wanted to get her money's work out of the intro package.

We go, I'm dragging. I want to turn back home at every moment, but I can't let my friend down. I mention to the teacher of today's class (a woman who was my first teacher at this studio and shares my name) that the challenge was starting to wear on me, and she replied in her very chipper way "Well, we'll pep you back up!" And boy did she!

I managed to find a slightly cooler spot up close to the mirror, focused on myself and just went through it. The 90 minutes flew on by, I felt great, and Malka stayed in the room the whole time. I feel wonderful right now, and I'm looking forward to the big double tomorrow. Yay!

Now its time to eat again...
