NO SUGAR CHALLENGE!!!!!!! Bikram Yoga

Howdy!

Earlier this month I embarked on a no sugar, no artifical sugar, added sugar challenge. For those of you who are not aware of my love and obession of sugar, I love it! I love Coke, Sweet Tea, ice cream, and Awesome Cup Cakes. Vanilla is my favorite. Since the beginning of Februray, I have sworn off these delicious goodnesses and have stuck to my guns and have refrained from consuming them. I am using Agave nectar to sweeten my coffee and Malt-O-Meal in the morning other than that, it is WATER and UnSweet Tea for me (only during meals). Coconut water is also a savior.

For my workouts, I have averaged 3 WOD's a week and have begun attending Bikram Yoga at least two times a week. For those of you who have not tried Bikram Yoga because you thought it wasnt for you or you had a preconceived notion that Yoga was for tree hugging hippies you are wrong. I thought the same until one of my clients convinced me to attend a class with him and since then I was hooked. On my first class, i felt that i had just finished 3 Fran's and was spent. As soon as I left the room (105 Deg F) I was hit with a lot of energy and I felt great. I went back next week and put together a string of 3 classses and felt amazing.

Supplementing Crossfit with Yoga has been awesome for me and I can tell that my breathing is better and I have seen an increase in lung capacity. Who would have thought that eating right and taking care of yourself could have so many benefits. So far, I have lost about 6 lbs and I am noticing that my pants are loosening up. Will give a month in update next week. Until then...

Stay Tuned for CRAWFISH WOD MEGAFEST IV DATE....


Stay Healthy my Friends!
