It was supposed to be a Kind Hot Music class (i.e. one with very little verbal instruction... kind of like follow the leader instead of Simon Says) however there was a sub so it was more like just a Kind Hot class. Which was fine. It was one of those classes I had a really hard time staying focused on what I was supposed to be doing. I kept looking around at what other people were wearing (or not wearing...) and what kind of variations they were doing... but it was still a fairly good practice. The theme was peace and finding that inner peace, especially during the game today. Keeping the inner peace that we found in our practice.
I'm trying to keep that around but at the same time, I also keep thinking about the guy who was on the other side of the room with amazing back muscles and no shirt. Now I want to make something clear... when I talk about other people's form or muscles or whatever, I am not talking about it in a sexual way. I am talking about it in a respective way. Like I admire and respect this man and being able to watch his back muscles in Extended Side Angle pose was really fascinating to me. It was more like "wow that is so cool!" I wish I had thought of asking him if I could take a picture... I understand that is kind of creepy and weird but I really respect people who are able to keep their bodies lean and muscular like that. For me, it is something I am striving for. That is why I do yoga and still work out 5 days a week and watch what I eat. I want to be one of those people that I look at and think "wow, that is a really great Warrior 2 and look at that back definition." Vain? Maybe. Do I think that once I have this ideal body everything in my life will be perfect? Absolutely not. I know that my happiness is more about what is in my head (the thoughts) and not what I look like or how much money I make or whether I can get that cute Lulu shirt. Will it increase my confidence in a few months when I'm walking around in a bikini? Yes. And I don't think confidence is a bad thing. I also understand there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
So now that I have rambled for the last 15 minutes on one of the many reasons why I have taken such a crazy goal... I do believe it is time to get ready so I can meet up with friends for the big game today.
Namaste, peaceful friends.
