Day 4...Class 4

7:15am...Summer

Summer is fantastic, soft spoken yet challenging and motivating! I always enjoy her class.Today was challenging, but nothing like  yesterday. My muscles are sore, I realize my inner thigh strength sucks.. But if I'm sore and I go everyday, it only means I'm going to get stronger. That's what I need to work on now. Before this challenge I was going just enough to stay stagnant, to gain only a little flexibility and strength every week.. Now, during this challenge, I'm hoping to advance quite a bit. It's exciting to see what happens! I also like circling each day I go at the studio.. Kind of motivating:)

Today my flexibility was good, but my strength(because I'm starting to get sore) and my balance was kind of off.. For instance, my Standing Bow was good as far as alignment and I was even able to kick my leg straighter than normal. I fell out pretty quick each time though. Triangle is SO hard to do when your legs are sore! It's basically all inner thigh strength. Ugh..

Got home and had a little headache and felt like I had to relax for a moment after my shower. Had to get out of that room.. I kind of felt as if I was still in there. Ate some breakfast and I'm all good!

PS...Those Emergen-C Electro-Mix packets are awesome for replenishing electrolytes for anyone who does hot yoga or other rigorous exercise! Not sure if they have them in the store, but I got them online!

I also hear that Ren Soriano, a Bikram Senior Teacher passed away last week.. I didn't know him but heard a lot about him. RIP.

Peace All..

Yay Cat!!! Good for you to keep it up even though those muscles are starting to ache a little. No pain, no gain as they say,right? Proud of your determination so far...keep going! Have you laid off the Maple Leaf cookies? I swear I ate like almost 2 whole boxes in like a week and gained 10 lbs. I'm totally serious. But proud of you for keeping focused on such a healthy goal! you are WOMAN and I can hear you roar!!!-Jeanette

YES girl i'm doing a food journal and it really helps! i'm not depriving myself so if i want a cookie or something i'll eat one, but it helps to not over indulge because you have to write it down:) thanks!!
