Sorry I haven't been blogging much but it's pretty much been the same thing every day. Get up at 5:45, head to yoga at 6:30am, hour of power flow, head home shower and then off to work to start the day.
One recent development that has brought me back to my blog is that it seems I have allowed my self to get a bit dehydrated... The reason I found this out was by a painful charley horse that woke me up at 1:26am one night. I have never had one of those while sleeping and after mentioning it to several people it seems to be somewhat common for some people. To those people I say "Man, that sucks!" I am happy to say this is not a common occurrence for me, I have only had a few in my life and they have always happened while swimming as I kicked to hard (strenuous exercise)...
I decided to google it and found out that it can happen in your sleep from dehydration or low potassium. The obvious cures being bananas and water. So, I have been eating my bananas and trying to amp up the drinking of the water... I can honestly say bananas are not my favorite fruit.
It makes sense really, I have been sweating way more than normal so why wouldn't I get dehydrated... I'm not drinking more water than normal. So tip for hot yoga: DRINK LOTS OF WATER!
I've gotten to know a few of the yoga ladies names and a lot of the staff know about my 30 day challenge so they ask me what day I am on here and there. It's nice. Tip for hot yoga #2: Tell people you are going to do it and then you feel obligated to see it through. Trust me there are days I just wanna stay in bed and go tomorrow... I don't though! I just imagine people saying "we knew she couldn't do it..." But I CAN!
18 days to go!
