Week 1 Reflections

Hooray! I finished Week 1!

And I am sore! I was thinking on Sunday that I wasn't super sore, and man was I wrong! After Monday and Tuesday, I'm pretty sure I can feel every muscle in my body.

Drinking water has gotten a little easier because I'm constantly dehydrated. As soon as I walk into the yoga room, I immediately sweat out all the water I drank in the past 24 hours. I'm not sure if this is a product of conditioning, or if the amount of sweat is proportionate to amount of water ingested. I'm not willing to drink less water to answer this question. I can now make it through the "warm up" series to the sanctioned water break before feeling like my mouth is a desert, and I'm calling that improvement.

What I love about the hatha/bikram series is that you can see/feel improvement as you go. It's the same series each day, yet each time feels completely different. One day I'll nail a posture, and the next it's the one I struggle the most with. But the opposite is also true, and that's what keeps me going back!

And, on a slightly TMI note, this was the easiest "time of the month" I've had in a long time!

I'm really excited to keep going for the next 23 days!!
