3.9.16- 6am

I haven't missed a day of yoga (yet) but been busy and tired and missed a couple of posts. The challenge is getting to me in yet another physical way. I missed my period this month, it has been like clockwork for a long time and then bam, it's gone. After I determined I wasn't pregnant I was kind of at a loss...then I had a great chat with my acupuncturist, Christi, and (after asking me several other questions about my health which she does at every visit taking extensive notes and it's so key) it became obvious I am depleted due to both the daily intense workouts and the fact that I have stopped eating meat. It makes perfect sense...my sleep has been a bit off as well per previous posts and that could be related to this. I'm not going to stop the challenge or eat meat but I am going to be more aware of how much I  eat and drink...I need more fat and protein...and I am going to start taking B12. I may miss my period next month too but after the challenge is over I'm going to dial the yoga back a bit and hopefully it'll be OK.
