Making Progress?

Lately all things in my life have to do with yoga. What to eat for lunch? If I eat a veggie burger and fries, I'll feel horrible in class later. If I eat lentil soup, I'll feel bad in class too. Should I have a glass of wine tonight? Eh, maybe not, I'll feel dehydrahted in the morning. Coffee, soda? Nope, need to drink water so I don't pass out in yoga later. Everything seems to revolve around yoga. Maybe that's a good thing, I do tend to obsess about things and let everything else take the back burner. I mean that is how I got to the point of committing to the challenge. For years, any sort of exercise has just not been my priority. School, work, home projects have always taken over and during the last few months something clicked in me that reminded me without great health, none of those other things matter. Do I still work very hard at my job everyday? Absolutely. But for the first time in a LONG time I have managed to leave work at 5p each day to get to yoga while still meeting deadlines at work. And somehow, I haven't felt incredibly stressed. Maybe making this challenge a priority is positively affecting other aspects of my life. One of the instructors, Kathy, always says "the most important thing in your life is you." She's absolutely right. Of course the instructors say lots of things, some of which I can't help but laugh, like when Gianna calls everyone "my yogis." All I can think is "I fooled you!" Ha ha! Yogi? Hardly! Some days it takes all I've got to just stay in the room, much less actually do all of the poses. Overall though, I am making progress, which makes me feel good.

In other progress related news...Jason's company is doing really well! He's done so many proposals lately, for bigger jobs, and the signed contracts have been rolling in. The next few weeks will be very busy for him but hopefully this is a sign of how things will be this year. I'm so happy that his business has been successful so far and can't imagine things any other way. We've had to make a lot of adjustments in this past year and are slowly getting back to a place that involves actually building our savings again, it's all been worth it. And I know as time goes on we'll continue to see that. For now our life is revolving around my yoga schedule, Jason's work and squeezing in time to hang out with friends! I'm ready for spring and grilling out on the patio, that will definitely call for having people over to enjoy it with us!
