And I am beyond proud of myself. Couldn't help but smile at the end of class last night and may have had a tear of happy pride roll down my cheek before I finished my final savasana. Class was sweaty but full of determination for all those involved and that just made it so much better. Because of the posture seminar that the studio hosted on Sunday, all the instructors have been changing some things around and I am soreee today. It's not that things are super different but the little tweaks definitely had different muscle fibers firing. Love it.
Amy gave me a huge congrats and a hug after class and asked how I felt. Honestly? Awesome is the one word to come to mind. I feel different....stronger, more flexible, more determined...and content. I've had a few questions as to why I did the challenge...."weight loss, get in shape, etc"...None of those to be honest. Not in this to lose weight, everyone can get healthier and be in better shape, but I did the challenge solely to see if I could actually do it. TADA I can ;) Do I feel healthier/better/fitter? For sure...you can't do this kind of yoga and not feel that way, but Bikram is all about determination and I had been feeling like I lacked determination for a lot of things in life. This challenge showed me that I do have it, regardless of how I'm feeling about a situation.
At the studio when you complete the challenge you get 1 free week of yoga, 10% off the next package purchased, and 5 free buddy passes (any friends want to join let me know!) I've decided to take today off so I can go to the grocery store/clean my apartment/do normal people things then I'll get back in it tomorrow.
Honestly just so proud of what I accomplished since I've been talking about doing this challenge for years. Done. Checked off the bucket list. And I couldn't be happier :)
Namaste you crazies and thank you for all of your supportive words throughout this process!
