So, now I understand why the third day is the hardest!
// I apologize ahead of time for my rant //
buuuuuuut ....I really needed to push myself with this day. It was already a rough start. I didn't sleep well the night before, being sore an all.
I also am a P E R F E C T I O N I S T.
I wanted to be as good as I once was and felt disappointed with myself because I wasn't able to hold the poses or straighten my legs all the way during down dog. UGG Also, my little fur pups were not helping. Que Video --->
I know that day 4 will be better. Let me know if you are going through a challenge and how you pushed yourself through that in the comment space below! xoxo Kalie
Day two was filled with difficulty. It was already a hard day at work, and the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was rearrange my living room, set up my camera, and work out for 40 minutes.
I really wanted to curl up on the couch, eat popcorn, and watch reruns of Queer Eye more than a makeover.
Can I get an Amen!
But I showed up for myself, which afterwards made me feel really proud. As I was editing the video, I was able to see that even though I was struggling, I didn't stop. And that my friends..... made me feel proud.
Today is going to be a short post, because truthfully, I can barely move my arms. But I hope that this helps anyone who needs to hear this:
YOU GOT THIS!
YOU'RE STRONGER THAN YOU REALIZE!
ALWAYS SHOW UP FOR YOURSELF!
"Dedication." I am keeping myself accountable and will be blogging my challenge for the next 30 days.

If you haven't tried yoga before I have created an Amazon List of Yoga Essentials that you can find here: YOGA ESSENTIAL LIST
But if you want just the basics you will need:
A yoga mat
Comfortable clothing
A water bottle
and an open mindset!
That's is really it.
I also post a daily vlog on my YouTube Channel.
My take away from my first day back was, " Man, this used to be a lot easier!"
My legs were shaky, my legs were uncomfortable, and my breathing was all over the place.
But 20 minutes into the 49-minute video, I started to use my "third eye" and see my body. I was able to "see" my abdominal wall and it's 4 sides, breathing together. I was able to see the arch on my feet and adjust them accordingly.
I know this process is going to take a while but I am so excited about this journey
