Day 1 - Monday 21.01.13

Ohhhh boy am I pumped and excited to finally say DAY ONE wahoooo! 

This marks the first time Ive ever started a challenge to better myself for greater health. 

So after my class on Saturday afternoon where I didnt do a single thing after the water break and throwing up (I wont blame the eclipse breath-mint I took before class) I didnt know how I was going to go tonight but as always I surprsingly had a fantastic class. There were some challenges though - there was a new teacher I'd never had before and she spoke too quick which is Ok for me but I felt the newbies would of been a bit frazzled, people were talking before class and during postures.  

There were all the regular Monday crowd which made for good entertainment after class but I love how during class we are all so in our zones and just each working through our own challenges and come out of class sharing jokes and laughing. I really love seeing their faces.

I didnt find the room too hot tonight but I overheard others saying it was crazy hot so Im guessing my position in the room made a difference - I will play around with different spots in the room over these next 29 classes and let you know. I am going to attempt to not have coffee over the course of this challenge also and just drink tea for now (oh goodness help me).

I spoke to Jodi who is 15days into her 30day challenge and she said she is feeling run down and drained but she is having such great progress with cutting her smoking right down, no coffee and no sugar so its interesting to hear how she is going.

Until tomorrow :)
