Bikram Yoga Challenge!

I have been trying to think of something to talk about in the past week or two, but nothing has really come to mind.  I have been extremely busy with my work and going to the Bikram Yoga studio at Paradise Valley.  I absolutely loved my time there and it is such a positive environment.  It gave me so many mental and physical benefits.  I HIGHLY recommend this studio to anyone.  Or, visit a Bikram Yoga studio anywhere in the world.  I am sure they are all AMAZING!

If you remember, I wanted to do Bikram Yoga for 21 days, while still staying on the Advocare supplements, and see where my weight and measurements were after this time. This was nothing official, but just something that I was doing on my own.  I really enjoy new things and challenging myself.  So my final results were...I lost another 3.2 pounds and 1.25 inches.  Very excited!  Looking back, there are some things that I probably could have improved.  However, I gave it my best every single day.

This brings my total weight loss to 8.4 pounds (131 to 122.6) and 5.75 inches in the past 45 days.  Even though I am a very competitive person, it's not about the number on the scale.  It's how I feel inside, and I feel AMAZING!  I am not done yet though as I would like to shed a few more pounds of fat and gain some muscle.

What am I going to do now for my training?  I am going to continue my work in the gym lifting.  I also want to get back into running.  I would never consider myself a "runner", but I think it's a great way to meditate and clear the mind.  For me, the hardest part of running is actually starting.  It's all about feeling better from there.  And of course, I will continue my Advocare supplements.  This will always stay in my life!

Below are some before and after pictures...the before is 45 days ago and the after is what I took this morning.  Enjoy!  If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at kelrb8@gmail.com.  Thank you and have a wonderful day!
