Wow, I dont know what happened with my post!
Bikram Yoga Challenge Day 7!
I wont post the food again. Not my best day. Was stuck at a meeting all day and dived in carbs and cookies. But with a super healthy and light dinner, I ended my day in around 2000 calories. Not ideal but still in weight loss range.
Class was great. The heat does not seem to be an issue for me anymore at all. Only my foot stll hurts, and hurts more now. I am going to the doctor on Monday afternoon. Hopefully she will solve it!
I didnt put any pressure on my foot in class, which means i had to sit a lot of postures out. Good thing that half of the class is on the floor and I gave my all to that part and did really well.
I feel great and empowered and stronger!!!
have a great weekend, ladies!

Another pound down! I think this Bikram yoga challenge is really gonna help me and keep me on track. I feel great and strong, although today I am a little sore because I really did my best last night. Feels good. :)

Class today was the hardest so far. I could not concentrate or balance. My foot hurt so I was worried when I went to the doc on monday she would tell me to stop with the yoga, my mind wouldnt stop!!! luckily half of the class is on the floor and on those i don't have an issue with the foot, so i relaxed and had a great second half. Sigh.
Tomorrow is a new day!

Bikram Yoga 30 day Challenge, Day 5:
B: oatmeal and bluererries 200
L: chicken 250 in tomato sauce 60, onions and veggies 100 cous cous 170 - 580
S: yogurt, strawberries and granola 350
S: banana 100
Subtotal: 1030
D: small cereal bar 90
T: 1120
Another thing I haven't mentioned, every time I take bikram classes, which is every day now, I have to drink a gallon or more of water, because you sweat a lot and if not, i'd get a headache of dehydration, so I've been drinks tons of water every day.
Class 5: AMAZING!!!
I feel amazing. This was my best class yet. I was able to do many postures all the way, that I usually stop somewhere in the process and just stopped and rested once. Usually it's 3 or 4 times. I feel stronger, more balanced, more centered. I don't feel any extra fatigue from going 5 days in a row. I feel like the class itself is what the challenge is. And it's less of a challenge everyday.
I am very very happy.
However, I am busier and have less time for everything. So I haven't been commenting much on your diaries. Bare with me. I love you all and am cheering for your success! xo

A little lower today. :) And the good thing about the yoga is that my water intake is a gallon a day or more. Also, I noticed last night I slept better. :)
Bikram Yoga 30 day Challenge, Day 4:
B: yogurt granola and strawberries 350
L: big salad with humus, greens, carrots, shrimp pasta salad, croutons, edamame, chicken.. all over the place. i will guess 700
S: yogurt 80 and cereal bar 250 - 330
Subtotal: 1380
D: bar 250
T: 1630
Exercise: Bikram 90 min class.
Today on my 4th class I still found I needed to sit and rest during some postures and also take it easy on the ones that bother my knees. My foot is 70% better and I could feel a difference. My knee feel better too! But still bothers me a little.
I felt like I could do many postures better tonight than the past nights and the accomplishment makes me feel great and proud.
I don't feel it was hard to take 4 classes in a row. I feel like each class is challenging. I feel like the challenge of the class is what counts, but going a lot actually makes it easier. :)
I feel an incredible high and self content. :)

D: yogurt 80
Subtotal 1320
S: almonds 100
T: 1420
exercise: 90 minutes bikram yoga
Day 3 was challenging. The room I think was hotter than ever. I am taking is easy in some of the postures because my knee is not great --knee cap on the left side has shifted to the left and i need thigh strength to get better, which I should get through class. And my left foot hurts too. At least it's all on the same side. Haha.
Even some postures that arent that hard for me were challenging. But I can do it. Some days wont be as good as others.
As I was leaving a girl there told me she did the 30 day challenge and dropped 20 lbs. This is not why I wanna do it, because I could get a similar result going 5 or 6 times a week. But there's something about a challenge. I am not that tough and wanna toughen up! And I wanna accomplish something. I'm excited.
Good night to all you lovely girls!
Progress as of today - 8.9 lbs lost so far, only 18.6 lbs to go!

Dinner: veggies with cheese and tomato sauce 400 trail mix 100 - 500
T: 1790
Exercise: Bikram yoga class 90 min - class 2 of 30
I will be posting a journal on my Bikram Yoga Challenge on here. 30 classes in 30 consecutive days. Today was day 2. Some of my comments will be irrelevant to most people because they refer to a specific posture, but it's just for me to keep track.
Day two of my challenge was fine. i felt like I could do it, although my knee and my foot (my foot hurts) kept me from doing some of the postures. I rested a couple of times, I think I only sat down to rest twice, which is not bad at all. I was hydrated and felt good.
Because of my knee and also how thick my thighs are I had a hard time on fixed firm pose. I cannot sit with my butt on the floor with that one yet. I will definitely be tracking my progress there!
Still hard to lock my knees and not lose balance, but slowly, as I strengthen my legs it will happen.
Today I went to the floor for toe stand! I can't come back up, but it was a nice step! :)
I hope the week night classes are okay too, I know it will be a bit overwhelming not to have time for much during the week besides work, take care of my doggie and yoga. Wish me luck!

Not sure why, but today i weighted 208.6 again. Haha. Not worried. I still have lost almost 10lbs in less than a month and can't complain AT ALL!

T: 2150 - too high!
Exercise: Bikram Yoga - 90 minutes
Well ladies, my Bikram (hot) Yoga studio has a challenge. 30 classes in 30 days!!! I decided to take up the challenge! I started today. 1 class done, 29 to go! I think I really can do it. It will be hard, but friends are willing to help me with my dog so I can have more time and the doggie doesn't pay for it! :) Wish me luck. For anyone who has ever taken one Bikram class, they know it is really a challenge!
I will also take a picture of myself today and another one on the last day of the challenge. We will see if there are improvements. :)
So I was shocked to remember that a sushi special roll (with fish on top) has around 500 calories. Good calories, but still. I had two rolls and my dinner was over 1000 calories. I would much rather have a rice bowl with veggies and shrimp or something that would be lower call and probably more satisfying. Bye Sushi. I won't see you often anymore!!!
