Moksha Challenge: Day 1

Part of the challenge is that they will be providing a daily quote with a theme for the day (they post these in the studio, as well as on Facebook and Twitter). The theme for day one is committment. Here is the quote:

"There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are
interested in doing something, you only do it when it is convenient. When you are committed to something you accept no excuses; Only results".
_Kenneth Blanchard

This is a great quote, and so true. I found that this perfectly explains things like dieting. When I first moved back to Ontario almost 2 years ago, I wanted to "diet"...not eat too many carbs, less take out, etc. It was right before the summer, so on the weekends we would be at the cottage. This usually involved all day drinking and snack eating. But I would make excuses like "Oh well it's the weekend", or "I'm pretty good 5 days a week I can have a treat".
When I decided to start eating cleaner, I really committed to it. It's been about 3 months now and I have lost weight and size, and feel amazing.
The same will go for this challenge, I am really going to commit to the full 30 days of yoga.

I received the Spring cleanse information I was waiting for from Moksha. It explains the cleanse, lists foods to eat and foods to stay away from. It also includes recipes and a shopping list. I will post some of that info here tomorrow.

I went to the 5:30pm class, and it was packed! I forgot my contacts and had a little trouble focusing with my glasses slipping off my nose from sweat! I tried without my glasses but could barely see which I think affected my balance haha. I made sure to pack them in my bag when I got home so I didn't forget them again. It was a regular Moksha class (I prefer the flow or power vinyasa) but it was still a good practice. It was even hotter than usual because of all the bodies in there (I'd say around 40?), I find when it's too hot I start to get a headache. I will increase my water intake to see if that makes a difference for Day 2.

Namaste!
