Reality Bites!

So I've been in the yoga studio here for more than 2 weeks and in all that time I have been positioned at the back, completely unable to see myself in the mirror.  Today, they started to rotate people around and I was in the front right in front of the mirror.  OK, so I'm always stiff in the morning, but it was such a disappointment because in my mind, I have really advanced and my postures are really beautiful.  In my mind, I have progressed to look like this, but of course the fingers on my left hand are beautifully positioned between the big and second toes on my left foot:












Unfortunately, today I saw in the mirror someone who looks more like this:


Ok, maybe not that bad (we all know my boobs aren't nearly that big and I never pass gas except in the bathroom), but not nearly as beautiful as I thought I was doing in my head.  Hopefully this afternoon I'll feel a little more strong and bendy and I'll not judge myself so much.

Gotta run.  have to grab some food and then our first anatomy test!

Love to all.
