Yoga Week 1 Update

I am writing this 7 days into  my 30 day yoga challenge.







So far I have found it very easy to incorporate theses short yoga sessions into my daily schedule. I have found the perfect time of day, right after Evan gets on the bus,  and I am really liking the routine.

Day 1 I realized that any flexibility i had gained from earlier practice was gone. Of course the last time I did a daily practice was a year ago.  My heels don't touch the ground in  downward dog and  bending forward I can't touch my toes. My fingers tips just barley graze the floor. Also, my abs were  in AGONY mid week. I know that by the end of the month I will see progress with my flexibility.

For someone who suffers from chronic muscle pain with Fibromyalgia I want to clarify one thing. Muscle pain from exercise or working out is "good" pain. That is more of a  stiffness and feels very different.  Fibro muscle pain is more burning and aching. I am really welcoming this kind of muscle pain. It feels deserved. I worked really hard for those abs to hurt.  I held boat pose and plank till my muscles shook for that pain.  Damn straight!!
