Day Seven: Time to check in

Well the first week is done and I'm right on track. I thought I'd use the one week mark as an excuse to check in with the progress. This will be a really boring post and I'm probably really writing this one for me. I should have taken a photo of myself in my undies before The Challenge (like how I capitalize that?) began so I could have a before and after shot...but I think it's way too easy to publish photos from iphoto to Facebook and well - call it my own paranoia - but no one needs to see that.


So to recap, these are some of the benefits you can expect to reap when doing a 30 Day Hot Yoga Challenge and here's what's happened after week one:

• Complete Detoxification: This would be a tall order for any form of exercise. And I'm not sure how you measure this one. I can definitely feel the effects of alcohol faster - and I'm a girl who can hold her pints. Is this possible that yoga could be affecting this? I'm curious. My skin is looking better I think. Over the past few weeks the stress of work has been taking its toll and it was break out city for a couple of weeks there. This has definitely improved over the past week. 

• Increased Flexibility: Definite improvement and definite room for improvement. Watch this space!

• Weight loss and improved body composition: No weight loss at all...but that could be many things. Like the entire Banoffi Pie I ate over the course of the weekend. BUT - and call me crazy - I think I've seen a difference in my arms. Again, is this even possible in just one week? Because I feel like there's a wee bit more of a cut line on my biceps. (A cut line in the flab!) There is also more definition in my lower legs and dare I say, less knee fat. I'm totally being serious. And my quads feel firmer. Yay for Warrior Two!!

So that's the update. Just a tiny bit of change, but for one week, I'll take it. (Of course, I'm sure the girls doing 9 classes in 6 days have noticed considerable weight loss and have all had marriage proposals by now:)

Bring on Week Two!!

Nite All!

This Banoffi Pie contains essential calcium and potassium.
There is also some love in there. It is good for me!!
