bikramania

 Yesterday, my flex day, I went and tried Bikram Yoga for my first time.  I think I am in love.  No kidding, this seems to be the coolest workout I have ever tried.  I am not a total stranger to yoga (when I worked in San Diego at a fitnesswear company, we had yoga every Friday afternoon, it was a nice treat) but this yoga is different.  Conducted for ninety minutes in a room heated to 105 degrees makes for a strenuous workout.  My goal was to make it through the entire ninety minutes without leaving the hot room;  I had to sit out some of the standing poses because I got real lighheaded, but I just went into the child’s pose and rested for a few, but I never left the room, so I am proud of myself.  I got myself a week membership for unlimited classes for $29, so I am going to try to cram as many classes as I can into this next week.  If I see some major results, I may keep it up.  Itis a bit on the pricey side, but I only have 6 more weeks to go before I have to reach my fitness goal, so I gotta start hitting up the drastic measures department.

 In blogging news, I finally got the chance to upload pics of bags and other crap.  I have edited a few posts (you may have to get into the archives to find some other, old pics that I have been too lazy to upload) so you can see visual progress of what I have been doing, in case you guys all think I am just fashioning bags only in my imagination.

 Last weekend, we went to Upstate NY for a wedding in Utica.  On the way there, we hit up Cooperstown to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame.  It was really impressive.  I always get that feeling that I am seeing stuff that is bigger than me, old, steeped in history and goosebumps develop all over and I step outside myself so that I can remind myself not to forget.  Soon after, we checked into the hotel and we were getting ready, Jeff was applying lotion and we got this crazy Bostonian omen.  Not sure what it is meant to imply, but…

  

…tell me that does not look like the Boston B!!!
