Then I went back to bed and slept from 11pm to 6am, only waking a few times to turn over and go back to sleep. Again, not sure how well I slept. I'm learning not all sleep is equal. However, I did feel well enough this morning to go to Bikram yoga.
I was definitely scared that class was going to kick my butt! I haven't worked out in two weeks, except for two SLOW jogs in Amarillo. I've also been eating a lot of junk and processed foods in the last 2 weeks and I'm starting to notice that something about it gives me a stomachache. My last semester of nursing school, I started getting nauseous and dyspeptic when I was really stressed-- to the point that I now throw up at the peak of stressful times. Lovely, I know. But I've also noticed that I eat more crap when I'm stressed. Maybe the stress isn't causing my stomachaches as directly as I thought... Coincidence? I think not.

Yoga note to self: lotion + sweat = slime. Slathering up felt great last night after a bath, but it made hot yoga a lot more slippery! Besides that, it was a great class, though. I skipped the two poses that tend to make my back cramp up the most, but I also mixed a cup of coconut water and pinch of salt into my Nalgene bottle full of water. (I "bonked" toward the end of the last few classes, if it's possible to apply that term to yoga). I don't know if it was skipping the hardest poses, the electrolytes in my water, of the fact that the room was not as hot as it had been, but class went well!
I plan to spend the rest of the day with my garden books and planting seeds. I knew it wasn't going to be as easy as "poke seed into hole in dirt and water as needed," but I never realized plants were so complicated! My cucumber seeds are
Love the baby picture. I had always wanted to do one like that with Ryan, but never got around to it and he's growing so quickly... bummer!
