Ground rules

I didn't realize until today how hard it was going to be to blog everyday, so bare with me as I try to play catch up.
I started thinking today why 200 days? The first answer that popped into my head was the 365 days was too overwhelming and scary for me. 200 days seemed managable. But I also didnt realize until today that my 200 hour yoga teacher training and 200 days both shared the same number. Haha...no I'm not a natural blonde. So maybe subconsiscislly that was why I picked 200 days. Who knows, maybe I'll decide to extend it.
Yoga teaches us to live in the moment, focusing on the present and not the future or past. So it seemed to me that 200 days of yoga seemed not like living in the present...I struggle with that.
I made myself feel better by saying if I missed a day, that its not the end of the world and to just keep going and not give up. I know that May, and June will be challenging for me since I will be traveling a total of 3 1/2 weeks for 2 months, but I dont care. I can bring a video with me when I travel, or just do some sun salutations and poses on my own. I know I can do this.
Ground rules to me are simple practicing yoga everyday. I teach yoga 2-3 times a week and while I really dont think they should count, I am really practicing yoga and I know on those three days it would be really hard to make it to a another teacher's class. Taking class, doing a video, doing my own practice, doing yoga on my wii fit should all count in all fairness.
