Still in my jammies was feeling good about myself and food choices I had made even dropped about 3lbs on the scale only to see that my husband got donuts at the Donut Man, never been there got a thousand yelps so I had a strawberry (fresh) donut. Instead of beating myself about it, I said I will eat healthy and low in sugar to make up for the sugar spike I had in the morning...Sugar is the evil, your body will use up energy to burn sugar instead of fat.
One thing I learned from Bikram is it's a lifestyle change, it's a life time commitment. I used to be on all fad diets, I can lose 20lbs fast for a wedding for only it to creep back up. it took me a while to lose the weight that I did but I didnt gain in back fast..I listen to my body b/c of Bikram and try to eat clean. Eating clean prevents feeling sick during class. So I am very excited about attending the 3pm today....I will post back here after class.
UPDATED: Well I wasnt sure if I was able to make the 5pm class, I know my parents will be there and I wanted to see them. It was hard my kids wanted to hang out with me, they were riding bikes till about 4:15p the last class was 5pm, a big part of me wanted to stay and watch them have fun..I did two doubles this week and definately can spare one..but the discipline of going to class daily and the feeling of my body changing, my food taste and cravings (except for bad donut) is changing. I wanted to go daily as much as I can. I grabbed my yoga bag (it's a LULU love it) and headed out...only 18 mins to get there..while driving I envisioned my son's sad puppy eyes..when he said bye..ugh.
Phew got to class and got a space second row smack dab next to the mirror on the right side.. I noticed how much fatter i look from the side vs the front LOL. The biggest obstacle for me in this class is to clear my mind...my mind was so full of the kids and how I should be with them today...on my husband and our earlier grrrrr moment...filled my ADD head, plus ugh I had a donut..
STANDING DEEP BREATHING I learned as easy as this pose is, I rush through the breathing and arm movements, I am a rusher...I rush through things to get more things done..I don't know how to just slowly go through each breath as slowly as possible. Val on the earlier class actually held my arms and showed how slowly I should breath...dang that's slow... so slow but today I tried doing that..and boy you get a lot more air in..
HALF MOON POSE Today I focused on my arms are they right by my ears are my arms firmly squishing my head or are they floppy... I focus on this pose and bend as far as I can...anything that will diminish my love handles I will do!
STANDING HEAD TO KNEE this is my absolutely weakest pose, the one thing i would love to master or at least grasp is the LOCKED KNEE... after my accident, I was instructed to not put any weight on my knee..I think due to that it got weaker...so i will definately try to get this locked knee biz down.
STANDING BOW POSE my son Zane and his puppy eyes came into my head, I starting mind wandering...what should we do after class should I take them out for some froyo? due to this I was floppy..tho I do notice I am more solid on my right leg vrs left...
I think taking all these classes and my mind wandering I was a bit off on the order of the poses, when it was time to do the Cobra Pose, I got up to the top of my mat to do the Fixed Firm Pose..duh!
Tomorrow will be hard, I don't know how I will fit Yoga in...Tomorrow we are going to go hiking at 8am with the other Cubscouts and then of course it's SuperBowl...the one biggest sporting event my husband loves...I can't have him watching our loud and obnoxious boys during football. I clocked my travel round trip for yoga, it's about three hours, half hour each way plus class, plus panting in the lobby time.... I guess tomorrow is another day we shall see....
