I've slipped to a late-night schedule, it's not good: I almost couldn't drag myself out of bed when the alarm went off at 9, I was in the middle of a deep and stressful dream and it didn't seem like I'd been asleep for nearly long enough! However I knew I'd be very sorry later if I didn't make it, so I did get myself up and over to class, which was great. I guess I've been going often enough that it's started to feel more natural - there are one or two poses that I still don't feel I understand properly (rabbit!), but significant improvement on the two that are really hard for me in the standing series, standing head-to-knee and standing bow-pulling pose, and generally it all feels non-overwhelming.
Had a good appointment with the pulmonary specialist the other day post-lung function test. My lungs are functioning at 119% which is very good; I will stay on the same medication (really I mostly only have exercise-induced asthma, though there are a couple allergies - mold, dogs, misc. other things - that can induce wheezing). We had sensible discussion of cold air and exercise, and I now have official confirmation of what my intuition told me before: I should avoid exercising outside if the temperature is below freezing.
