My Downward Dog is Off

My quest for flexibility is on.

Today I started back my first day of yoga.

It was a total failure. The DVD is 45 minutes long.

I stopped at about the 20 minute mark….and started to look at the poses sideways…and then doubt set in…

Will I ever be able to flex my legs like the girl in video?

Are my standards just a tad to high?

I.

Will.

Not.

Quit.

Currently Reading

This weeks choice in book is what I referred to before as my “smutt” reading.

My girl Mary B. Morrison never lets me down with some good old fashion smutt reading. Her book “I’d rather Be With You” is actually the second book to a series. I did not know that until I started reading it. There are a couple different characters in the book, and I’m assuming if I would have read the first one, I would not be as confused as I am right now.

I’m not that far in the book, and let’s be honest, this is not a world change read, but it’s fun, and I just needed a distraction this week.

I Will Try: Update

It wouldn't be fair to post a blog on things I am trying to change in my life, without sharing an update on how I'm doing with them.
If you can recall, I wrote a post titled " I will try". If not, please click here and catch up. 
One of the first things that I said I wanted to work on was my flexibility. Since that post I have done nothing to get closer to homegirl in the Beyonce' video.
That ended today.
I use to do yoga. Like, a lot. A really good friend of mines gave me a yoga DVD many, many years ago, and I swear by this one DVD.  Here is the link to purchase said DVD. I also went ahead and purchased one of those yoga mats as well. Swore I'd never buy one, but I tried it out today, and I see why people use them. Seeing as I have tile in my house, and I'm not wanting to bust my ass or hurt myself, I'm glad I just went ahead and purchased a mat. If you are in the market for a yoga mat, they run in range of $9.99 to $19.99. I could not find the exact mat that I purchased, and the one's I did find were ridiculously over priced. 
I plan on doing some yoga tomorrow, and I want to aim for at least twice a week, if not more. 
I am getting closer to being able to do this: 

Dear Lord,
Let me get my legs up that high...Amen...
