My First Real Yoga

Yes, I made it into Yoga today, and I am beat.

BikramYogaPlace

Bikram Yoga Place in West Seattle

They were nice and thoroughly understand that this was a new experience for me.

Since it was my first time there I parked some place near but it was paid parking.  Next time I will find some free parking.

I handed my groupon to the a lady named Teneille who was going to be our instructor.  I was there early enough that she could give my a little tour of the place.

She walked me into the room and it was hot, like the inside of a car that was sitting in the sun.

I changed then waited in the studio and got my body acclimated  to the heat while everyone else came in.

I thought it was weird that some of the guys were shirtless, but in the end I understood why, I thinking of going shirtless next time around.

I was conscience about my looks for the first 30 minutes after that I did not care, my belly was hanging out, I was dripping wet, and had little strength to hold the poses.

This was a 90 minute class, the first 30 minutes went by pretty quick, the second 30 minutes was starting to feel long and the final 30 minutes seem to be like the clock never moved.

I took a celebration cruise through Alki park, in hindsight that was a bad idea because I was actually really really exhausted.

I recognized this and stopped at some parking lot to catch some zzz’s.

You see I had a hard time sleeping last night, I think I had 2 hours of sleep, then I skipped breakfast, had a small lunch because it was a pretty busy day.

I did hydrate during the whole day so that was a smart thing to do, but by the end of the day I was exhausted.

My day was not done yet, I went to Fry’s to price out some parts, and then to Safeway to buy my buddy Rob a bottle of liquor for his birthday.

I finally got home, and the kids needed me to install Adobe Flash on a laptop, I fell a sleep on the couch with the laptop sitting there.

After a 15 minute nap I got up, showered and ate dinner.

Now I am typing this blog post and am pretty sure I will go to bed after I publish it.  But knowing my day, something will come up.

I did weigh in before I ate dinner and am pretty disappointed at my weight after such a rough day.

Weight: 269.0
