I DID IT!!! 10 straight days! Yesterday was my 10th day, and it did not come without it's humor.
The instructor (Stephanie) was fun, with her unplaced accent. I finally let out my first BIG fart! I was waiting for it. Just what is the etiquette for that? I just continued to do my pose, but it took me a minute to regain my focus...LOL!
I finished and I was in tears. I wasn't sure if I was going to do all 10 days, but I was thrilled that I saw it through.
And now? Well, I'm continuing this streak. I want to see just how long I can keep this up. I went to a 6 am class this morning (not sure how often I'll do that...still not a morning person). I think eventually, I'll probably go 4-5 days per week. I think that's a more doable and same practice for me to continue.
What I discovered through Bikram is that I can do anything I set my mind to (I've know this on some level, but it felt good for me to validate it through something physical). I'm not as hopeless at yoga as I had once thought...a surprising revelation! Moving forward post-cancer, it's nice to find something that feeds my mind, body and soul. Bikram has done just that, and I'm eager for further transformation of my body and mental state.
P.S. Did I mention that I lost 5 pounds? Crazy!!!
