day 30 - made it to class all of the 30 days :)

Well, I made it 30 days every single day to bikram yoga class. My skin is very healthy, due to the yoga. I sweat more now, that's another benefit. Today was one of the "easiest" classes - my heart wasn't pounding, I didn't feel nauseous, I put in good effort... with some bad habits still kicking around. My bad habits are: I'm still holding back on some poses, maybe all of the poses :). The purpose behind holding back is that I'm trying to build up strength before I go full-heartedly. With camel pose - I go full heartedly. Nothing hurts me in this pose, I try my best to see the floor and push forward and keep breathing. With Trikanasana, triangle pose - I have a hard time keeping my leg locked and I sometimes feel really exhausted from trying this pose so I hold back from full hearted effort and stand with my legs closer together, or don't bend low towards my foot. When I feel stronger I will put more effort into trikanasana. I have 20 days to go in the 50 day challenge. I'm glad I had a good day today where I felt strong throughout the class. One thing that might have helped me is that I took the class in the morning before work so I probably have more to give physically and psychologically. My work kind of beats me up. I am thinking of quitting and working for myself. I trained in medical transcription last year, but I haven't made serious effort to find work. I am thinking that I want to start doing medical transcription now.
