Dirty Little Secret

I had the most incredible experience tonight at yoga. First let me preface everything by saying that Shandy Rae was my instructor ( I have mentioned her name before saying that she is my favorite teacher).  She just got back from holiday in Mexico so she’s more relaxed than usual and playful and super fun. [...]

it’s gettin hot up in huuurrrrr

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my hot yoga class, but there are a few things that really bug me. I get the room has to be hot.  But why does everyone resist keeping the door open between classes?  Keeping the door open to the hot room lets out a bit of the heat that [...]

Profound? Not so much.

The day I have been waiting for came yesterday. The day I went back to hot yoga. I really expected bells and whistles and fireworks and the phrase “I’m home” to be going through my head.  But you know what I felt? “Oh yeah…. this.” It kind of reminded me of an assembly line not [...]

Final thoughts on yoga challenge

The good stuff! 1) The body and mind can work together if you let it happen. Never in my life have I been so in tune with my body.  I feel when my body is hungry, how much it needs, when to stop and what to feed it.   I know how much I can push [...]

30-day hot yoga challenge last class and results

Day 30 is done and I’m finished my challenge. To be honest, it felt like it would never end.  It was very weird on Friday to not pack my yoga stuff, and it felt like I was forgetting something.  I kept chastising myself all day for not drinking enough water, and then realized if I [...]

Feeling disappointed, 3 class to go

Well I weighed myself today.  This is unofficial, so I will re-weight on Day 30 (Thursday) and tell you how much I lost during this yoga challenge. All I can say is……….it’s not that spectacular.  However, it’s pretty good for a slow loser like me.  On average I lose like 3-5 lb per month.  5 [...]

If you don’t like it, then leave!

By the way, I can’t stand the people who go to my yoga studio. Think of the most pretentious snobby, skinny, perfectly-outfitted girls you could ever see in your life – and they all go to my studio. It’s not like I never noticed before, its just that it really bothered me last night. So [...]

Day 18 – Evil Thighs

So ….I’m guessing this might be the 2/3 part I heard about where I supposedly am going to feel like I’m dying.  Because yeah, I feel like dying.  My thighs are not my own right now. They are part of an evil plot to take me away from my 30-day challenge. And I can’t sleep.  [...]

Day 16 is done

I know you guys don’t care about me anymore, but are you reading my yoga stuff?  I finished Day 16.  I did it! And by the way – I decided that bad, junky foods put me in a bad mood.  I don’t know if it’s because the actual foods have no nutritional value and just [...]

Tulum, or not Tulum

Oh hi there. This is where I need to go.  I need someone who does yoga to come with me. Maya Tulum Enough said. I finished Day 15, not so much with a bang though.  If anyone is interested in me in the slightest bit or loves me at all, you will be reading my [...]

bikini tops

it has been so hot here the past few days I’ve taken to just wearing a bikini top in my house.  Gives me full access to check my stomach out in the mirror every single time I pass it.   I took some progress pics and I have to say at least I wasn’t horrified as [...]
