My 30 day Hot Yoga Challenge!

Today was my final day of my hot yoga challenge. I did 30 days of nonstop hot yoga, no intermission, no days off. This is my second challenge that I've done. They do two every year. Then when we're all finished, our names get put in a drawing for one free year of hot yoga! The chances are slim, however, I like to stay positive and think that this might be my big break! hahaha hey, you never know.

Some of the physical changes I've experiences:

*Lost inches from my waist(I fit a lot better into my size 1)
*Clear skin(both face and body)
*Way more flexible
*Better posture
*tighter tummy

Some of the emotional changes I've experienced:

*I can endure stressful and uncomfortable situations better
*More calm, patience
*Way more positive.
*Happy with everyday, and everything that I do
*More confident and accepting
*However, I'm alot more sensitive(could be both good and bad)
*Better appetite
*Sleep soundly


                      Couldn't do this before! :)
              Floorbow :) Can be ALOT better in the hot room


        


The biggest struggle I've had with myself is acceptance. I finally understand that I am the way I am for a reason, I am the way I look for a reason. Everything takes time, if I want change, then I have to make it happen and be patient with myself.

I realized that I'm a "plain jane" haha and that works for me, if I were any other way, I wouldn't even respect myself because I'd be working on someone that wasn't me, then I'd just be going backwards instead of forwards. Of course, I'm trying to play with other looks but still stay comfortable with who I really am. Needless to say, I love me. I'm healthy, and I can stand on two feet. I am blessed :)

I'm also listening better, to myself and to those around me. Really hearing what they/I say. I'm all ears! :D

                  All natural, no touch ups, no make-up

So, will I continue this challenge? Sure am! I'm gonna go for 90 days! and then, who knows what will happen! anything is possible. I'm excited for the future! Namaste, everyone. :)
