Beware of the Peacock

My blog could really be a blog about the trials and tribulations of my exercise plan. Last week, I bid goodbye to my family as I set out for Zumba. I quickly discovered one of the complications of having two gyms. I went to my usual gym but Zumba was at my new gym. Apparently, I need to include more details when I plan my weekly workout schedule.

Today, I set out for a new yoga class. Some of my friends were getting together during preschool but I stuck to my schedule. I should have realized that I might be in over my head when I saw the instructor. He had a bandana tied around his head and was ready to lead us. I held my own until we reached the full peacock position. If you want a good laugh, you should really look up a picture of it. Basically, you support your body on your forearms while your feet are pointed in the air. Of course, most instructors offer a modification. I knew I was in good company when the lady next to me started to laugh. You could also put your arms in between your legs and support yourself with your toes pointed out. Needless to say, I was very relieved when it came time for ten minutes of meditation. You are supposed to silence your mind but I couldn't help but think this would all make really good blog material.

Later this week, it is back to Zumba. So, prayers might be in order this week. I also got a note home from the teacher about helping at the Harvest Party. It read, "you are welcome and encouraged to wear a costume." I can only imagine what my darling daughter will come up with to go with Belle. I thought I was going to get off easy since she picked her Dad to escort her as the Beast.

Blessings,

Cindy
