I didn't have the stamina to write last night's entry, so I'm writing a quick one this morning before the ass-early class that I have to go to because of my board meeting that takes up half my Saturday.

Wow, that sounded cranky.

I was also cranky in class last night when I seemed to be reverting back to my early days of the maha in terms of balance and strength. Poses that just the night before were simple had become a struggle last night. And it was pissing me off.

I realized toward the end of class and continued processing on my way home that I hadn't gotten enough to eat yesterday. Between the Southern Arizona Legislative "Breakfast" (which was little more than fruit and pastry - no protein) and the Roe Luncheon (at which I didn't eat as much as I should've), I hardly got a fraction of the calories and protein and carbs to which my body has now become accustomed.

So my crankiness from last night soon melted away as I accepted that it was a learning experience and I got over the self-anger and disappointment about my wobbles and perceived failures. That's part of the practice - discovering the learning moments and being gentle and forgiving with yourself.

OK, now I'm off to day 23!
