Day 37 !!!!!

Just wanted to write a little post to keep myself motivated to make it to 60 days.

A while ago I decided to try doing the 30day challenge at Bikram Yoga (which means doing 30 bikram yoga sessions in 30 days). I'm always hopping back and forth between Miami and Nyc so I've tried and failed at this challenge before lol. BUT not this time!!!!

the 3rd week was critical....I almost bailed at day 19 I think. I could feel my body changing but I felt physically tired. The thing is, I wasn't just doing the challenge to be able to say I did it (although that feels good too lol). I just said to myself, "If I'm going to do this....I'm going all the way". 

as in discipline in terms of hydrating regularly. Eating right, sleeping on time etc.

I had noticed, when I was just going a few times a week, that I was sleeping better.

But I think what happened in week 3 of my challenge was that even If I relapsed with bad habits in terms of what I eat, forgetting to drink water, or forcing myself to stay awake reading...or whatever it may be...I refused to bail on this challenge. I had come too far. but I wasnt doing what was needed to keep my body strong enough to handle it.

It was almost like my body said 'listen missy, if we're doing this you're gonna have to work with me....you gotta treat me better. I NEED water dummy, don't feed me that garbage just because you can....and go to sleep on time. seriously. JUST SLEEP".

I missed 2 days in the challenge which they'll allow as long as you do 2 double sessions to make up for it. if you miss 3 days within the challenge period,you have to start over....which i wasn't willing to do. omg....my first double session was AMAZING! the 2nd double wasn't as enjoyable lol but I made it through:)

I was putting this massive pressure on my body without giving it the tools to handle it. I workout alot outside of Bikram- I do pole dancing, jogging etc...and honestly, thats not even too much. the body can do great things, given the proper support and means.

So anyway, I dropped the bad habits and started fueling my body in all the positive ways I could think of...and I made it! Not only did I complete the 30 day challenge, I'm going for 60 days!

Today is day 37!!!! only 23 more days to go :))))  s

 My name on the '30-day challengers' board after my 30th session!!!

 taken day 34. Felt pretty good:)

This was actually taken  right before my 36th session lol. It was a great class. sometimes you leave tired, sometimes you leave feeling like you could go for another round ...it kinda depends on how you're feeling on the inside as well. Yesterday I felt pretty strong and left my 36th session feeling ontop of the world.

And I'm feeling the same vibe today :)

I'm off  shortly to my 37th session ! 

Thanks for reading, wishing you a lovely day!
