Bikram journal, I don't know what the count is at this point
Went last night to the Redmond studio... not sure if we'll go again before we go back to Bellingham (mostly because we don't know when that'll be yet). My mom went for the first time. That was cool, but I had the worst class of my life.
See, this is why I don't do 'substances', or drink much, ever... I was mildly hungover, the room was blazing hot, and there were a ton of people in the class- I've never had to sit out more than half of a pose, and tonight I was laying out more than half of the floor poses. SO NAUSEOUS. I'd do the sit-up and have to lay right back down. It sucked. Quinn did the same thing, Zach had spent 2 hours digging out his dad's car from my mom's epic driveway, so he was pretty out as well, and a lot of the women I talked to afterward admitted to having partied a little too hard and having a crazy hard class ;) BRUTAL. I almost bolted from the room.
My mom did great. She probably pushed a little too hard, though, and looked totally burnt afterward- she also got to see my 3/4 sleeve for the first time and was pretty angry (predictably) but better that she see it before she sees me in a wedding dress... *sigh* Once it's finished, it should look pretty amazing. I'm hoping that card, at least, will help.
I know going to class today would help me push out more of the holiday toxins (blech), so I'll go if my mom is up for her second day... I really don't know at this point if she'll go again (I feel like a terrible influence! I have a strong practice normally), but she is aware that her second day will help her push through the soreness and will give her 2-3x the benefit of the first class. We were hooked after two classes, physically.
Anyway... yep, brutal. I'm looking forward to doing a juice detox and getting back to the Bellingham studio!
PS Enchanted is hilarious, and I watched Forrest Gump for the first time since I was about 10... it's pretty great when you understand what's going on :)
