Yoga is supposed to make people feel good. It did the exact opposite for me today. I went to the gym today and took cardio/weight training class that my gym calls Club Strength. During, and immediately after the class, I felt great about myself. But then the yoga class started. I think my muscles were very fatigued after the first class and so I had some trouble maintaining some of the poses--especially downward facing dog. Then I had trouble doing some other poses because I have rolls of fat that don’t allow me to bed in certain ways. I started to look at myself in the mirror and started realizing how fat my stomach is and how HUGE my legs are.

Well it was downhill from there.

I had started out the day in a very healthy mindset and even had a nice healthy breakfast and I had a very positive frame of mind. I know that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself and that I should be patient with my attempts at betterment, but it is just so HARD sometimes and I get so discouraged.

I guess I have no choice but to keep lugging away and not give up.

Easier said than done.
