Day 1, Class 1, thoughts immediately after class - Boots are not good post-Bikram. Slippers are better. Killed me.
Spent class working on my breathing - so it's an all new practice for me now! Another tip from Bikram's book - in full Locust post, use the core to lift the legs. Well that worked! Shift the weight to arms, use core to lift. Whaddya know?
Past couple of classes I've been yawning a lot. Yes that means I'm not getting enough oxygen and I know I have odd issues with breathing like I'm using the wrong muscles or something.
Am waiting for the breakdowns, or breakthroughs. Maybe I'm supposed to be worn down first, then in my exhaustion my barriers come crashing down.
A couple of hours later, when coherency returns --- One down, yay! A full class, many of whom are on this 30 Day Challenge also. My body already feels worn down and exhausted. And it's only day One!
Thought I'd share the post-Bikram class meal with y'all....
Quinoa with prawns, scallions, a bit of ponzu dressing and salt and pepper. Side of miso soup with bonito flakes and wakame. And the remaining prawns (trying hard not to call it "shrimp cocktail") I bought earlier today for lunch.
And I may, or may not be eating a cookie right now... Because eating a meal that healthy is a bit of an extreme move for me. Gotta balance it out with a cookie!
The prawns/shrimp cocktail was admittedly extravagant, but made up for the fact that I forgot to get tofu. Personally, I'll take prawns over tofu any day :)
