A Humbling Experience

Today was my first time back to the studio in a very long time. I was nervous. I'm not sure what I expected exactly, but I was still surprised at how different it was from the last time I was there. The poses were still familiar to me, but my body wouldn't cooperate. So many times I was reminded of how much weight I've gained. My body just wasn't able to bend and move like it used to. I spent a good majority of the class on my back, simply so exhausted it was hard to move. The image in the mirror showed my face, a fierce, red shade. This isn't at all what I imagined my return to the hot room to be like. But I'm planning on going back tomorrow.
