At 32 weeks, I dropped the ball with my weekly videos. I went to New York City with my husband for our last pre-baby getaway. When I returned Sunday evening, swollen and tired from the bus ride home, I decided my weekly yoga video was not a battle I needed to fight. Maybe I'm lazy. Maybe I lack discipline. Maybe I hit a milestone by not pushing myself beyond my energy reserves. Whatever the case, it is what is.
I was too imperfect to blog about my fall from perfectionism last weekend and thought I'd pick up the slack at 33 weeks. But again, it's just not happening. My back is revolting and I'd rather be doing soft, cushy poses from Iyengar Yoga for Motherhood than the ambitious poses I picked for my weekly videos.
My prenatal yoga teacher says motherhood is all about lowering your standards. That's what I'm practicing in these last few weeks of pregnancy.
