Day One

i don't like hot yoga.

i like lukewarm yoga.

i am hoping after this 30 day experiment i will say i like hot yoga, or at least be able to say it is okay.

why am i doing this?

well, one, i am at a place in my life that i could use a little meditative inner reflection time and what better way to do that then in a heat exhausted haze. ;) i am hoping that through the sweat and nausea i can have some quiet peaceful healing time (mentally and physically).

two, i need a kick in the pants to drink more water and take better care of my body. i am hoping that this will motivate me to care about my physical body. i often get to go-going that i forget about taking care of myself...i eat whatever, i drink 4 glasses of water a day (maybe) and i have a horrible sugar addiction i can't shake (maybe i can sweat it outta me).

and third, my dear friend radioactive swears by this. she has felt healing and limberness from her aches and pains. she also has a zen attitude about yoga and life that i admire. so, if i can be an ounce as good as her and reap the benefits she has gained from bikram yoga i will be a happy little gogo....or yogogo i guess i should say.

so day one begins. i am supposed to be following this link as a newbie: http://bikramyogatyler.com/1st-timers/

as i drink my first glass of water of the day i realize i am way behind task number one....crap, i need more water.

wish me luck.
