I know, I know... Here I go with this Bikram yoga crap again.
I have completely failed at my 2011 resolution to "Stretch my comfort zone" and I have yet to complete a legit 30 Day Bikram yoga challenge (which also happens to be #12 on my list!).
BUT... over the year, I have acquired a new Bikram accountability partner: Ghetto Mocha!
We both love the benefits of Bikram, and we both want to complete a 30 Day Challenge... so to help light a fire under our butts, we made a little wager to make things interesting :)
Starting today, the first person to complete 30 consecutive days of Bikram wins the challenge. If we go 5 days, but miss Day 6... we have to start all over. We have both purchased $50 gift cards for Lululemon Athletica (our favorite store), and the loser of the challenge has to hand their gift card over to the winner, giving the winner a total of $100 to spend!
It's gonna be a long and difficult road, but regardless of the winner, we will both reap the health benefits! Other than losing some weight, I'm gonna attempt to regulate my sleep-- AGAIN. I also wanna see how my appetite changes, and if yoga will help curb my cravings...

Had to drive into work early to avoid the Honolulu Marathon traffic. Today was sucha LONG work day! I wasn't sure that I would make it outta Bikram's class alive! My balance was completely off, and during one of the floor poses, I felt so SICK, I actually had to take a break and lie down.
I blame the grilled cheese sandwich.
Felt a little tired around 830pm, but I forced myself to stay awake.
Why did I do that?!
Tomorrow we'll see what time I wake up, and I'll do my first weigh-in :)
Let's hope this works . . .
