day 19 - life habits are changing

I had a really good class yesterday. Today will be day 19, I will go to the studio a little later. What I noticed, and what I wanted to record is that a lot of my food habits have changed naturally. I read on one of the Bikram sites, I think Bikram yoga Vancouver, , that food habits will change because food cravings are a means for your body to satisfy what it needs, and the yoga also satisfies you so the body has nothing it needs to feel better. I think I will eventually be eating less because I will not be craving anything beyond the food that I really need. I crave water and fruit a lot more. Yesterday I held off on protein before class so when class was over, a few hours later, I had two servings of poached salmon. Nothing naughty - no cravings for potato chips or cake. The salmon just had salt on it, and the other day I ate a ton of lettuce and fruit. I just want a lot more vegetables and light protein. I feel like I'm getting strong like a dancer. I feel like Bikrams is similar to the control and elegance of dancing. Holding my stomach, legs and arms tight is making my body strong and compact. One other new thing that happened is I want to get an official yoga top. I've been using cotton tshirts, but yesterday I felt like it was weighing me down and I want something light that will wick the sweat away.
