This idea was inspired by a dear friend who is writing a witty, insightful, inspirational blog about getting her body back after having two kids. Originally, I started with the idea of accomplishing a press-handstand in 365 days. However, it's turned into so much more than that. It's really about my journey back from chronic fatigue syndrome, regaining strength and flexibility that I once had as a gymnast, and my journey back to ironman fitness (and more importantly, the life lessons I'm learning along the way).

8/29/13: Day 61


I did a hot yoga class tonight, and I was able to stay the whole time! This is progress. Last week I tried and I had to leave early for fear of fainting in the middle of the class.  Anyway, in class tonight we did a lot of inversions, mostly in the form of headstands. It was a reminder that I’m pretty good at headstands and I enjoy doing them! Although, I must say they hurt my head more than I remember. Not sure why… When I got home, I decided to continue the inversion trend and did some handstands. And I did handstand nose touches. Yep, just like it sounds. Lift up one hand at a time and touch your nose. First it was just one, then two, then four.  I’ll have to work back up to what I used to do in the gymnastics days (50? 100?, I don’t remember).
