Diet Challenge- H2O

BodyRock changes up their diet challenge every few weeks.  Currently I'm working on the challenge of drinking more H2O.  For my weight I should be drinking approximately 65 oz of water a day or in terms I understand... 3 bottles of SmartWater a day.

Well... water gets boring. Face it.  Sometimes it's boring to just drink plain ol' water.  So I've been adding yummy NATURAL extra's to my water to make it easier to drink it all.


Strawberries
Lemon
Cucumber
Raspberries


I need more *NATURAL* ideas.  When I say Natural I mean not like crystal light or other powders.  Do you add yummies to your water to make it easier to get in all your water for the day?

Bikram Yoga Survival Guide

I made it through alive.  I made it through alive and didn't pass out once.  I'm talking about surviving a month of Bikram Yoga or known to some as Sweaty-Hot-Mess Yoga. 

When I first moved to South Salt Lake 1 1/2 years ago I had to see what all this hot yoga fuss was about.  Bikram Yoga Salt Lake offers a 2 week unlimited pass for super cheap, so I tried it out and fell in love with it.  Problem though, it's terribly expensive.  Think $15 per class normally.  Even if you buy a pass it's like $120 for a ten class pass. UGH.  So when CityDeals offered one month unlimited for $40 I snagged it up without hesitation.  I started my one month journey on May 14.  And now my one month is over.  And I'm sad.  I tried to go as often as I could and usually ended up going three to four times a week.  90 minutes of pure dedication in a room that is 105 degrees and 40% humidity.  I started craving my yoga sessions.  I started dropping weight.  At first I thought it was water weight, but after four weeks I am down 7 pounds.  That is huge for me!  My weight normally only changes by a decimal point.  Maybe this is just the detox my body needed. And this funny little scoliosis back I have started feeling better.  It's amazing. So after 4 weeks of Bikram Yoga here is my survival guide for all of you who might be considering it.
