Well clearly this isn't going to be a daily blog. It will be an "as I'm inspired to write" blog. I've been generally doing Bikram at 6am Monday-Friday and then running or in some cases *GASP* relaxing on the weekends. This is working nicely for me... I can't live without morning Bikram most days. Sometimes the alarm goes off at 5:15 and I want to roll over and go back to sleep but within 5mins my brain starts thinking about how much less enjoyable the day will be if I don't go...and soon enough I'm up! Today was a great class with Erika. I felt stronger in standing head to knee than ever. Not because I could keep my forehead on my knee without falling (still can't really do that) but because I felt stronger and more in control of my focus and breath than ever before. It comes and goes but when it's there it's AWESOME. And to be vain for a moment it's great to actually see that I have stomach muscles. I always assumed my stomach was a big blob and would be that way no matter what...running marathons certainly didn't change it. But it turns out I can get ripped. My weight has regulated to about 140lbs or less without any sort of dieting. I eat what I want when I want it but strangely it's not nearly as much as I wanted before, and what I want is healthier (generally). I know yogis say this happens, and I can report that they are correct. I have been almost totally vegetarian (I eat fish) for about 6 months...not for political reasons, I just lost my taste for meat and so did Colin. None of these things are why I do yoga but I'm not mad about it either!
