My vacation to Jamaica is in 72 days (yes, I am counting, I love to countdown for fun things) and I am so excited, can you tell?
My friend and I tried Hot Yoga for the first time on Monday. And it was.... well, hot for sure. I really actually enjoyed it and am going back tonight by myself. We were able to do 35 minutes of a 60 minute class on Monday and I am trying for 45 minutes tonight. It is amazing that you actually sweat from places you didn't think could create sweat, like my eyes for example and my fingernails. I swear they were all sweating, but I will tell you, I slept like a baby that night. So we will see how it goes tonight.
For those who think that they won't be able to do it because of the heat, because of their weight, or just because they don't want to, think again! You could also do it. Yes, the heat seems brutal at first but you do actually adjust to it a bit. Now the yoga poses, that is a different story. They are pretty difficult but I wouldn't say due to my weight more because of my flexibility but I am assuming that over time I will get better and more flexible. The best part about it is that I truly feel like it rids my body of toxins and relieves stress.
I read something online today by a girl who says she weighs 210 lbs. She said that she cannot exercise because of her weight and I thought, what the hell? Why on earth couldn't she exercise because of her weight? I mean, I understand we are all different and our tolerances are different but to me that was a little bit crazy. I informed her that I was exercising at 300 lbs and she was shocked that I was able to. Now, I admit that my exercise wasn't very strenuous when I weighed 300 lbs, but I tried and it helped me immensely. Even though I haven't lost any weight (gained in fact) I am so much stronger than I used to be!
