The Importance of, you know, Eating
I spent all day today doing nothing really productive, reading Deepak Chopra's Perfect Health (which I picked up during one of my big runs at the Burlingame library while I was there for other books; when I saw the library had three copies of Perfect Health I thought it must be something important!) which is quite interesting, and drinking a couple cups of tea. I started my morning with some Kashi cereal around 11, and followed it up with a perfect peach around 3.
And. That's. All.
Normally, you know, I abide by the old adage of eating when you're hungry, which has usually worked just fine and did work fine for the majority of the day. Until I decided to return to the Avalon Art & Yoga Center for another hour and a half Hatha class with Ayse. Last week's was really incredible; I felt strong throughout, worked hard, but very capable.
I felt like a twig this week, especially in the balance postures, and even the twists which I usually find stabilizing and opening. I wobbled over numerous times in tree pose and when I could find my balance, my leg left on the ground was in constant motion. About two thirds of the way through I realized my lack of any real energy providing food prior to class was probably the culprit. I think I even fell asleep in savasana! I've never done that!
Shaking even as I rolled up my mat, I barreled awkwardly toward the door, into my car, and didn't really stabilize until I got home. So I suppose that's a lesson, eh?
