After a particularly stressful couple of months, during which I was eating too much, drinking too much, having trouble sleeping, suffering from chronic headaches, and feeling all-around sluggish and inept, I knew that I had to do something to get my life back on track.  That is where the 30-Day Challenge came in.  I have always been very goal oriented—and interested in money-saving offers—so this opportunity seemed ideal.

Admittedly, it was not always easy to get motivated to go through that hot-pink door, up those stairs, and into that hot room.  At first I felt embarrassed that I was not as sleek, toned, or flexible as many of my counterparts.  Additionally, there were times when I had overindulged in food or alcohol the previous day and it definitely made practicing yoga more difficult.  Nevertheless, I stuck with it, and now I could not be happier.  In just a few weeks my postures have improved immensely, I have curbed my alcohol and junk food consumption, and my headaches are gone.  However, for me, the most significant result of the 30-Day Challenge is the confidence that it has helped me to regain.  By committing to changing my life, setting a goal and achieving it, and facing my self-esteem issues, I have, in all senses of the word, Found My Cool.
