Rest and Bikram Yoga...

Bikram yoga has really been taking it out of me.  I really do enjoy it.  I make small progressions each session, and I leave feeling peaceful and in a good "workout trance".  The rest of the day just feels amazing.  I was talking to my Mom the other day after a Bikram session and she said I sounded sick.  Maybe I was and it didn't hit me all the way yet, but I told her I'm just in a "yoga trance". 

I was so physically exhausted and I felt sick today.  I came home early from my work and just rested.  I feel better now, but it's just what the body needed.  I try my best to bomb myself full of water, but I may need to double-bomb myself (if that's a word!?).  With being out in the Arizona heat, we need a lot of water! 

Sometimes we just need to listen to our bodies and rest, and that's exactly what happened today.  When I started my Bikram journey, I planned on going a lot and using my prepaid Groupon as much as possible.  I have given it my best, but I know that it's better to take care of myself instead of putting my pride and ego aside to just go so I can get another mark under my attendance record.  I am still planning on going tomorrow, but I know that I need to catch up on some work.   

Nothing else too exciting going on with me...I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
