A Day of Rest

This morning was day 3 of the 30 days of yoga challenge. It was my favorite so far. One I know I will come back to again. I find myself staying on the floor and resting or rolling or stretching for a while after the video is over. It reminds me of being a kid. I used to do that a lot. I was a master of head stands. And yesterday I saw a picture of an advanced yoga pose and it looked familiar. So I tried it. I was able to hold it for 5 full breaths. A good friend told me it is called Crow Pose. I used to do this too when I was little. I don't  know why. I just liked moving.

After yoga I realized that I felt tired and emotional. Not sleep tired. Be still and quiet tired. So I decided not to do my workout or other challenges today. To just rest. I didn't  feel even a little guilt.

My husband and I took our little dog for a walk this evening, but it was a stroll. Not exercise. I managed to hit my daily goal of 6k steps and 60 minutes of moving. But not a single push up or crunch. I will get back to work tomorrow morning. I have to fit my workout in before 9am due to a road trip to get a vehicle. I'm  certainly not going to want to work out when we get home at 10pm or so.

I still ate clean and healthy. Drank lots of water.
