40 days of yoga...day 17

I was incredibly excited to discover today that I am really starting to succeed at a back bend. Mind you, not going from the standing and back...but lifting myself off of the floor with my legs and arms...about 3 weeks ago I would have said this was impossible. Especially since I have NEVER, not even as a child, been able to do this. I feel my body getting stronger...a little at a time, but I am getting stronger and I love it. I love how it feels and I feel a little more confident. Today I did 20 minutes of yoga first thing...I did a FUSION class (ballet, yoga and pilates) for an hour...and tonight I plan to do another 20 minutes of yoga to help me unwind. I still have the meditation to do...I am NOT going to give up! I will do the 10 minute guided if that is what I must...or I will try a new technique a past co-worker told me about...see if it works and if it does help...I will post it.

As a side note...my husband may be working in Germany this year...how exciting is that? Granted, we had just heard the France contract was a no go...and we were thinking things would calm down. Never a dull moment I suppose. Hopefully we will know soon if this is a reality!
