You can't complain about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do. 

This is a brilliant statement (and seems like many have said it, so I don't know who to credit this quote).  Anyway ... it's another of my go-to mantras as I keep plugging along on an upgraded ME.

For a few years, I've wanted to improve on a few things physically.

Bad posture (horrible in fact).
Low strength (cardio junky here ... hate the "other" stuff).
Poor flexibly (genetics aren't helping me on this one).

I'd give it a half-assed try occasionally (probably more like a quarter-assed try) with no results (duh!!)

Here's what I told myself.

Plenty of time to work on my posture ... it's not THAT bad!
Important muscle is the heart and when I add strength training I get injured.
Poor flexibility - it's how I'm made - it just is that way.

So I never gave it a real effort.

Okay, so time for no more excuses.  Just focusing on cardio has left me poorly balanced and injured more than not over the last couple of years.

Music is on - time to face it.

It's taken me over six months of procrastination (I'm quite good at that) to find a yoga studio, contact said studio and schedule a private lesson to help with my insecurity that I suck at all things yoga.

But I did it.  Now I'm week 3 of a new student month membership which lets you try everything they offer.  Love, love, love the Tabata classes (type of HIIT workout) and the flow yoga.  (BTW, I still suck at it but now I don't care.)

My mind was finally ready, but my body ... it's in shock.  Oh, is it tired (in a good way - I think).  This is the first time I'm REALLY focusing on these goals and I can't wait to see how my body responds.  To incorporate the new workouts I've cut back on my running (careful to not get injured).  Funny how absence makes the heart grow fonder ... I'm actually excited on my run days.

Key is to keep going.
