Made it to the 6:30 Bikram class after hauling Ralph and Owen to Hope for their boarding time. Class was fairly full, I was tired from working all day but I was determined to have a great class. And, I did! I went in with a super cute french braid and came out looking like a hot mess, literally, a hot mess! Best pose for today was standing bow pulling pose, worst pose for today was fixed firm pose. My right hip is so tight, it makes it hard to do the pose correctly. So, for me that pose is hard, I know it will get better as time goes on but in the mean time, its frustrating. We had one new student today. A girl. She did fine, didn't have to leave the room or anything but she did sit down a couple of times and she really didn't seem to go deep into the poses but I really wasn't paying attention to her too much. I heard her say in the locker room after class. "should I be sore? I don't really feel anything." I was thinking, sister, you should barely be able to walk!

Committment

I titled this post committment. This has nothing to do with Rick. I'm totally committed to him, have been for 22 years. I'm talking about committing to Bikram yoga. I've deicided to committ to it for at least 6 months. By committing I mean, purchasing a monthly package and going at least 3x a week. I loved the way it really changed my body inside and out when I was doing it regularly during the winter and spring. I am going this evening and this will be my 3rd time this week. I won't be able to go until Monday again but thats okay. There is something crazy great about this yoga practice. It is so hard and at the end of the class, I cannot imagine going ever again but as a few hours pass, I'm thinking that it is so awesome! We'll see, I'm going to post about it a couple of times a week and keep track of the journey. I'll also post about the Loverly Lev life too but that gets boring. I think people get tired of reading that I love my kids and I'm proud of them. I don't have to blog it for it to be true. I'm too busy for that! But we do have exciting times coming up here and I'll for sure tell all about them!

Hmmmm

I haven't posted in a month! HOly Cow! We've been so busy here, I feel like I'm twirling, twirling twirling around! We had a great time at the beach even with dumb Debby downer. Kate and Alex turned around less than 24 hours later and headed to Gulf Shores with the MOrtons. Rick and kids flew to MI yesterday, I'm flying on Thursday to meet them. I had a great birthday, did the pool thing, did the burger thing, didn't do the fireworks thing b/c I was sleepy and in bed by 9! Kate and I have been shopping for her dorm. We found the cutest chair EVER!!! at one of our favorite shops. I'm might have to go back and buy the other one for the house. All her sorority info has been mailed to people writing her recs and she is building her wardrobe for rush. She is super excited and so am I. Jack is jazzed about being in MI for the week. All he can think about is playing golf! When he comes home he has 2 golf tournaments. Joe is just cool Joe. I'm ready to get that child back on a good sleeping schedule. xbox live is evil! Saw coach Briz and coach Watson yesterday, I think coach Briz is going to be a great coach for our 7th grade boys. With the fam out of town I was able to go to Bikram yesterday right after work. I've decided to commit to this yoga practice for six months. So that means buying a monthly package and throwing away my ghetto, dog chewed, yucky pink yoga mat. Lululemon here I come! I'm excited to actually see if 6 months of hot sweaty Bikram three times a week will change my body. I love it, its not for everyone but I think everyone should at least try it.
