I set the alarm for 4:45 a.m. Unfortunately, it woke Eevory up, too, and I wasn't able to get her back to sleep. Tomorrow I'll put my iPhone on vibrate and put it in my pillow as my alarm.
Tom came home for lunch to help me with Mia. After we ate he rocked her to sleep while I rocked Eevory to sleep and I was able to practice. I don't think I would have been able to practice if he hadn't come home.
My chaturanga is improving. I'm slowly building some strength in my upper body. Flexibility seems to have leveled of. I'm still only binding with fingertips in Mari D. Hamstrings have been bothering me a bit lately, too. Stamina seems to be slowly improving as well.
My tastes are starting to change again. I find this happens when I get more serious about my practice. I cooked Tom some bacon tonight and the smell drove me out of the house. Even handling meat grosses me out.
And speaking of food, it seems like whenever I practice, I'm ravenous an hour later. I need to start planning what I'm going to eat in advance so that I'm not tearing through the kitchen like a mad woman post-practice. My friend Lissa gave me a fancy slow cooker for my birthday. I have a fantasy of preparing some tasty breakfast the night before in the slow cooker so that it's hot and ready after my morning practice.

That's great that you're feeling progress so quickly. Nothing like feeling stronger to motivate a person!
ReplyDeleteI am usually starving after practice too- some days more than others (when practicing certain series). And you're so right, it's like you want to chew your arm off it's so intense!
Slow cooker! Good luck.
I get so hungry it makes me want to kill! Tom has already learned to either make sure that I've eaten or get out of my way after I practice.
ReplyDeleteI love feeling stronger! It makes everything more fun.
Haven't used the slow cooker yet, but I'll report when I do.
