Well the 4:30 pm classes tend to be A LOT hotter than the 6:30 am. Today I had THE hottest class I've taken since I moved to SD. Wowzers. People were dropping like flies and leaving the room right and left. I knew we were in trouble when I began to feel nauseous during the backbending part of Half Moon and Hands to Feet pose. I hung in there but was seriously hurting by the time we hit the floor. I was not able to hold all the postures for the full time and even sat out 1 set of Camel and Rabbit. Still a good class. Feel like I REALLY worked and stirred some stuff up. Nothing like a good, hot ass-kicker to make you feel like a beginner again.

Back to AM class tomorrow. Still wish it was hotter in the morning. I will probably say something to the owner when I take her class on Friday if it's still not feeling so hot.

I have been crazy busy and haven't had much time to blog. But I am pretty much feeling like a rockstar because I did the 6:30 am class every day this week!!! For the weekend I will probably go back to 4:30 pm to give myself the opportunity to sleep in and fart around in the morning. My knee is still hurting a bit - but I am determined to work through it. So far, so good. I am really glad that I am doing this.

Well... The last few classes have finally felt hot enough. I think that maybe it is just really hard to get the temp up high enough first thing in the AM. I am going to try to hit the 6:30 am Mon-Fri this week so we shall see. Got a knee brace today that I am going to wear during my non-yoga hours and already it seems to be helping from having it on for just half of the day. I think that especially right after yoga when my knee is all warmed up and loosey juicy is the time I probably need the extra support the most.

Day 3 & 4 of 101

Still going strong. My knee continues to bug me a bit but feels much better than it did a couple days ago. Down 3 lbs in 3 days. YAY! ;))

Day 2 of 101

Tuesday 2/1/11
Bikram Kearny Mesa
6:30 am w/ Eeva

Decent class. Still not very hot, but maybe that's just a morning thing. Tweaked my knee a bit in triangle, hopefully nothing major.

I am once again realizing just how good/intense/inspiring my teachers back in Hawaii were and how much they pushed me. Or am I just getting that much better? Seriously doubt that. Maybe after this challenge is over I will check out the studio on Hancock Street. It's supposed to be the hottest and most hardcore studio in San Diego. For now I am fine with cruising a little bit. ;))
