Bikram-2nd Day

Yesterday was my second day of my challenge. I didn't stand in the corner from hell, which made it much, much better. My energy was pretty good, and I only had to take a knee for a few minutes during it. There is one pose though, where I feel so lame while I'm trying to do it. You're supposed to clasp all 10 fingers together, and then pick up your foot with your hands, and then balance on the other. I don't know if my arms are too short, or if it's just some flexible thing that will come with time, but it just does not work for me! The picture below is what you're supposed to work up to. Hmm...I feel great, and I'm ready for another day!

Muse Concert/Bikram Yoga 30-Day Challenge

Hello everyone! So, I pretty much suck at writing on this blog, and since I have deleted my Facebook account, I thought I would update this more often! So much has happened, and I feel bad that I haven't written anything for so long! The only thing to do I guess is just to move forward.

Monday night, Mike and I went to the Muse concert, which is my absolute favorite band. They did not disappoint whatsoever. It will be very hard to top the magnificence that was this concert. Mike gave me the tickets for Christmas and I have been looking forward to this FOR-EV-ER! Matthew Bellamy's voice is just so surreal and beautiful, you can't help but be entranced when you hear their songs. They also had so many cool light installments and digital media going on throughout the whole show, so it was just kind of a non-drug induced trip that your mind went on when looking at the stage! I'm not the kind of person to jump up and down, but my little heart was definitely dancing when they started to play. Silver Sun Pickups opened for them, and they were good as well! I was so happy I went! (I was going to upload a video, but it was taking way too long, so maybe later!

Also, I am starting my 30-Day Bikram Yoga challenge. It means you have to do 30 classes in 30 days. If anyone has ever done this, it's pretty brutal. You are doing yoga in 105-120 degree heat and dripping with sweat and pretty much you're in hell. What is amazing though, is that it actually energizes your body rather than make it tired, as with other exercise methods. I'm getting to be okay, but definitely not to where I want to be yet! So, everyone cheer me on as I head towards the finish line. I will do a day-by-day run of how I'm feeling.

Yesterday was my first day of the challenge. It had been a week since I had last gone, and I had been sick and not eating too great, so I didn't have a lot of energy. I also decided to stand in the "hot corner" where the vent is. That was not a good idea for my first day back. I spent a lot of the time on the ground, but you are still reaping benefits for just staying in the room, so at least I stayed. I'm determined to make this day better, so wish me luck!
