Growing Pains

I plan to go full-on Scrooge McDuck.

I put in my order this week for more Fizzy Tabs, fiber powder and vanilla protein mix. Now, I did do come comparative shopping first. After all, why should I pay for Arbonne's fiber powder when they have tons of the stuff at the drug store? It turns out that most commercially available fiber powder is milk-based. Arbonne's is fruit and veggie based. So, it's actually worth it to get it from Arbonne, I think. It is a high quality product. As for the Fizzy Tabs, I haven't found anything comparable and I just like 'em. So there it is!

I also just ate two croissants. They were delicious! They were also high quality: from the Hot Hot Bakery cart, and still warm. They were yummy. I have made a vague promise to myself to still stay within my 1600 calorie limit and go to 7:45pm yoga today.

Why so late? Because I'm teaching a free power hour at the office of one of my yoga students. She works for a nonprofit that fights female trafficking, and she's super nice. I can't think of anyone better to get a free class!

To counterbalance the free class, I posted an ad on craigslist for in-home yoga lessons. I got one weird response that I disregarded, and one seemingly legit response from a guy and his girlfriend in Fairfax. It's part of my plan for ORP Yoga. (Overcharging Rich People for Yoga.) I quoted a price that, while high, is still much cheaper than private yoga at the studio. Part of me thought I should just quote a really high price but I'm still seeing what the response is. Also I'm already pretty busy so I can really only teach on weekends at this point.

Anyways, my point is that I'm starting to take a few risks and grow here and there. It's baby steps, but it still feels intimidating. Who do I think I am, running around teaching yoga everywhere? Hence the croissants. But I'm stepping back from the abyss, breathing deeply, and reminding myself to take time to be grateful for all that I have.
