there is no try

i have done six 90 minute sessions of bikram yoga in the last four days in an effort to complete my 30 day challenge. i was ready to give up last tuesday until a friend, a well intentioned ex-boyfriend to be exact, said to me "there is no try."

earlier today, i decided to "do not."

after this morning's class, i spoke to the studio owner about what had to do be done. i seriously contemplated, and even for an hour of two tried to mentally prepare, for the four consecutive days of doubles (two classes in one day) i needed do in order to "successfully" complete the challenge. and then the thought hit me, everything within reason.

in this great month of june, i have battled through a three day spout of the stomach flu, undergone a portion of the most emotionally draining house remodeling process i ever thought possible and decided to revitalize my aspirations for graduate school studies. my bikram yoga 30 day challenge has been most helpful in dealing with the latter two situations. i am most grateful.

i am finishing out the remaining three days of my challenge by attending class once a day. when all is said and done, i will have completed 26 classes in 30 days. and i think that is PRETTY DARN AWESOME.

anyone who is up for seeing me smile throughout my 26th class is welcome to join me at south pasadena bikram yoga at 430 pm. there is no try. ;)
