Day 1

Yesterday was Day 1 of the 60 day challenge that Bikram Yoga Hampden is having.

I started out the day with a strawberry-banana hemp protein shake. Then, went to school and took my 9:00AM English class and my 10:00AM Sociology class. At the conclusion of my 10:00AM Sociology class, at 10:50AM, I headed for Bikram Yoga Annapolis for Advanced Class. Emily just returned from another coaching session with Mary out in San Fransisco. Emily showed me how to backward bend down the wall properly so that I do not hurt my lower back (I had been showed before but I must have forgotten because my lower back had been hurting). Anyway, yesterday was my first day back from a two day hiatus. By the time we got to the "full series" of Advanced class, my body had pretty much opened up. I practiced full wheel many many times and I am getting closer to touching the floor with my hands in prayer and getting closer to grabbing my ankles.

After Advanced in Annapolis, I went home and ate a whole bag of vegan chicken tenders with tobasco sauce, then ate a vegan meatloaf frozen dinner... I was hungry...

Then I did some homework and went to Lynne's 7PM. It was a packed class. I love seeing packed 7PM classes. I locked both my legs out in standing bow, which is good... have to get ready for L.A.

When I came home, I spoke with my friend on iChat briefly and made a smoothie. I took the juice from one big orange and one lemon and put it in a blender (approximately one cup of juice all together). Then took five strawberries and put it all in the Montell William's food emulsifying blender along with a cup of ice and 1/2 cup of water and BAM, a delicious post-yoga drink.

I have made a vow that by then end of the 60 day challenge, I will have full wheel pose... The 60 day challenge will be over on April 1st.

Here's to reaching new feats, yogis! And transforming our bodies and minds once again!
