yoga + the animals=

Anything but a relaxing experience!
I started a fitness challenge today. Goal is to do 2 fitness classes a day for two weeks. Since one of the fitness classes was scheduled during my HR class tonight, I thought I'd stay on track by doing a yoga video at home. I've realized that my husband has created a monster with playing with the animals (aka "wrestling") at their level. The yoga instructor is telling me to relax my forehead and eyeballs while laying down but how could I relax when there's a dog licking my face and ears? Mikey plays this game with Anna where he flops her ears around to get her fired up. Well in my attempt to keep her out of my face by pushing her back, she interpreted that as the "ear game"... for 20 stinkin' minutes! She was also quite interested in my fleece pants. Damn dog. And I thought she was spayed. I finally got her to chew on her bone (after many giggles 'cause I really couldn't be mad at her since she's so cute), I was able to close my eyes for the last 5 minute relaxation lesson. Well, no less than 2 minutes later, I was startled by some whiskers tickling my face. Kramer decided to check things out too. At that point, I rolled up the yoga mat and muttered, "why bother..."

To a better day of exercise tomorrow!
