Bikram Yoga Challenge: Day 60/60.
I am done.
DONE!
I now know what it is like to do 60 consecutive days of Bikram yoga. And as much as I would like to go another straight 40 days, making it a full 100 days, I won't. There are so many things I need to do in the next week that I will need some time off from practicing. In fact, the next time I know I will definitely be able to get into the studio will be next Friday.
That's a whole EIGHT days!!!!
But I think my body could use the rest for now. And my mind will be plenty busy... With a house closing, bridal dress shopping, a new job to dally with, painters to accommodate and many furniture deliveries. There are a great many things to do in the next few days.
But, now to cover what I gained from this 60-day challenge...
I feel good with my progress in the challenge. And I am now ready to move back into a regular practice, combined with a working life. I expect I will be able to maintain my progress. Fingers crossed!

But, now to cover what I gained from this 60-day challenge...
- I lost, collectively, 9.5 inches from my body. Some from the bust, some from the waist, thighs, hips and calves. Today when I went to Anthropologie to try on a dress, I had to go down a size from what I normally wear. SQUEE! Hadn't realized I had toned up that much. And yes, I still have an ass... Just a much tighter one.
- I have seen much progress in Eagle pose (wrapping both legs on both sides), Toe Stand (I can almost lift my hands off the floor - this is huge progress), Awkward (I can go all the way down and up in the third part without leaning orward - so good for those thighs!) and Locust pose.
- My balance is far, far better than it ever has been. And my back appears to be much, much stronger.
- I know that I can make it through back-to-back double sessions.
