Beginning my 60-Day Challenge!

I’m starting the Bikram challenge on August 26. I’ll be doing one 90-minute class every day for 60-Days. I thought that this would be a good time since traditionally this is "back to school time" and the vibe is good for this kind of focus. I'm really curious what this experience will bring to my life. I feel like Bikram has helped me eat more moderately. You can't stuff yourself and go to a Bikram yoga class. Ewww. Drinking moderately is helpful too. Sometimes I get impatient and feel like nothing is happening, then I’m like wait a minute remember how my knees used to crack EVERY time I got up from my chair. And remember when the stress was on at work I would be typing away and I’d get that burning sensation in the middle of my back? Well no more, not since starting this practice.

I've been going for about three months, usually 4-5 times a week. Now everyday for 60-days. It's a mental challenge as well as physical. It’s also helped me creatively and I’ve began to work on my artwork more, although now the catch 22 is that because of this challenge I won’t have as much time to do my artwork! Speaking of artwork, here’s an update on my globe. During the gala opening party it was broke, then the restorer who was going to fix it, lost it. So it only got to be on display during the gala party. They asked me if I’d like to do another one and I’m like it took me a whole month, every minute outside of work was spent on that. What if you lose this one too. I have to say I still admire the project and many of the globes look great outside near the lake. If I were asked to do a big one maybe next year if they reprise the concept, I’d probably do something like Yoga for the Environment. If you are practicing yoga you naturally have more respect for yourself and the earth. When your hands are strong pointing outward in bow pose you have little opportunity to trash the earth.
