Join me as I chronicle my bikram yoga journey and sweat through what I hope to be a physical and emotional journey. It starts with 30 days, there is no end in sight.

Holy moly, let's talk dressing the part
No joke guys, I seriously fret about what to wear to class, is the bra too tight, are these shorts long enough, will this top become see through when I sweat?! These are important questions, a huge chunk of bikram is to wear clothes that allow for maximum sweating and minimum self consciousness. Well let me tell you about the biggest bikram clothing fail I have ever seen, even worse than the time I forgot my sports bra and had to wear my white yoga shirt without a bra (this left little to the imagination, let me tell you... Good thing I am a confident leo type, right?). well, back to what I was saying, let me tell you, there was a girl in my class tonight who was literally wearing a white, cotton bra and granny panty set. I mean, what on earth was she thinking? What!? I say!
So, here's this girl in white cotton skivvies and in my view and it was like a train wreck, I just couldn't look away. Guys, did I mention she was a bikram beginner? She DOES NOT have one of this sick yogi bodies that you picture when you think sweat yoga. You know I would actually bet she forgot to bring something to change into and she thought to herself, oh I am so glad my bra and underwear match today, I will wear this! Oh, I hope she never stumbles upon this page...
Onto me. I am kind of starting to miss my social life. I have a big day planned for tomorrow, which I hope will at some point allow for me to stop in at Express and purchase these red jeans I have been coveting. That may have to wait til Sunday, but it will happen this weekend. I am quite literally booked all day tomorrow with class in the morning, a trip to the botanical garden in the afternoon and a concert and drinking/dancing in the evening. It may be hard to stay faithful to myself and not seek the attention of a boy while out and about. I liken these thirty days to being in a relationship with myself. I will respect that relationship the way I would if it was someone else I was being unfaithful to.
I have so many thoughts today. Out is day 7 and I am a quarter of the way through and I measured myself. Lost 3lbs and 1 inch on my hips and a half inch on my waist. I am also noticing the spider veins (btw, f spider veins, I am too young for these!) around my thigh look much lighter... Is that a possible benefit? I stopped biting my nails, and well jeeze, things are just feeling better.
So yeah, I am really glad people are reading this, I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment, commiserate,, or encourage it is all welcome.
Namaste

I must know if spider veins getting lighter is a benefit! I want.
ReplyDeletePS - we are too young for anything old.
Ok, so right after class the spider veins look so light and almost non-existent, but alas, after a couple hours they reappear in all their glory. I wish I knew what caused them...
