fuzzy wuzzy I am

Wow, it's been nearly a week since I last blogged.  Bad lady.  Well, after my elephant-poo-like practices last week, I managed to get my ass in gear on Thursday. I started my practice with an almost combative frame of mind.  I was going to conquer this damn mind of mine. And I succeeded - well, I succeeded in getting through my practice without drifting off, and that was the aim.  And after a  week of stiff practices, my body and mind settled in to it.  I also practiced Friday, even though it was a  moon day, just to make up for the lousy week.  Yesterday was good as well, I practiced, grabbing heels in kapo, but LBH's were very stiff.  I went to a backbending workshop yesterday also, and it was fun.  Did stuff like eka pada rajakapotasana which felt great- strangely.

Today's practice was so-so.  I went for dinner with the parents last night, and had a couple glasses of wine.  Normally that would be ok, but I think in conjunction with the 2 strong practices I had done, my body was over -stimulated and I slept fitfully last night. So I felt very groggy getting up. Monday is my 'kriya' day - I do vaman and neti before pranayama and practice, so that helped me to waken up.  But even after that and my practice and a yummy breakfast- blueberries, blackberries, grapes and plum with muesli and granola mix and my favourite yoghurt ever, and a cup of chai, in case you're wondering!- I still feel fuzzy. Yuck.
