In light of increasing busyness at work and urgent work due tomorrow, I am missing today's session. 

Missing 3 days for CNY soon. 

Missing another 3 days for Krabi holiday in March. 

This means I need to do 8 doubles before 18 April 2009. 

Uh oh.

I have now done 31 sessions of yoga with a break of 1 day.  Shall take that as an accomplishment over my last 30 day challenge!  Heh.  

Didn't find both classes terribly hot.

I am not sure if it was because the ambient temperature was cool, or because I have grown accustomed to the heat. 

Just weighed myself yesterday.  Have lost another 1 kg. 

Great!  1 more extra kg to go.  Any loss thereafter will be a bonus.

Not really at the computer much this past weekend so have not been updating re: The Yoga. 

Let's see...

Session 27 on Friday, if I recall correctly, was intense.  A few newbies - so some of the postures felt extra long as we all had to hold on while the poor newbies looked around frantically and tried to catch up.  Poor newbies. 

Session 28 on Saturday - I showed up for the 10 am class as was invited to new yoga friend's place for a get together thereafter.  Class itself was ok, but the highlight of my day was having the get together!  Lovely lovely yoga talk, yoga bitching, yoga jokes, yoga hysterics... I LOVE these people!  Am so thankful they decided to invite me into their little circle too!  

Session 29 on Sunday - Showed up for 4 pm after ironing 3 weeks worth of clothes.  Super mind-numbing.  Had to rush for a wedding dinner thereafter.  Lovely bonding session with colleagues though, that.  The yoga was great 'cos it relaxed my sore back and also gave me a post exercise high, just in time for dinner. 

Methinks this yoga is positively impacting my life in all sorts of other ways.  New friends, better health. 

Love love.

Work is picking up pace and I am slowly but surely getting snowed under. 

I am torn between going for yoga and staying back late for work.

Security: Public
Mood:achy achy

I have a pulled muscle somewhere behind my right hip bone.  It has lasted at least a week.

Stretch it out everyday during class.  Super "sour" feeling. 

Yesterday was the first day I actually felt like the pull is lessening. 

Oh my, the relief, the relief.

Forgot to update this space yesterday. 

Anyway, Session 23 on Monday was one of my better classes of late. 

Strong, focused, thin, not distracted or fidgeting or having a good mental/ physical collapse even though the temperature was really oh-so-hot, my sweat was running profusely and I wasn't at my favourite spot in the room. 

After a string of not-so-good classes, Monday's class was a nice reminder of just why I try to do this everyday. 

"Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
...."

Session 24 yesterday was more pedestrian, run of the mill.  I am, however, still on a high so, everything's great. 

If nothing else, my backache is alleviated for another day, and that is enough for me.

I stalk a whole bunch of Bikram Yoga blogs via my lovely Google Reader to keep up the love and motivation.  

The great thing is loads of people in there are all fabulous and fanatical too, and they post up lovely links! 

I am going to gather the best of them up here to spread the love!
