Sweat Day- 3 days until next fitness assessment!

Hello all!

Today is designated sweat day. I didn't sweat yesterday. I need to crank it up today and make up for my day missed!

Monday I was introduced to the painful, intense, and incredibly difficult practice of Bikram yoga. I went to Hot Yoga in Bridgehampton and for 90 minutes was in a sweat filled haze of shiva sena, stretches, strength, and dehydration. Note to self- next time I go to yoga, must be hydrated!!

I now start my countdown to my next fitness assessment! As a refresher here is where I was a month ago and my goals for my 1 month bench mark!

Yikes. Ok.

During this first month of my EvoFit challenge I have taken advantage of two aspects of Evolution Fitness. The mentality and the classes. I took the mental challenge of committing to making a change in my diet and exercise to get into better fitness and that is my self conquest. I have also attended classes by Andre, Jason, Ute, and Mirna- all of which completely kicked my butt and challenged muscles I didn't even know I had!

But I need to step it up a notch. During my next month I will utilize the personal training aspect and show how important it is to have a trained professional guiding your work out! I'll also try more of Jason's EvoFit recipes.

Today I have a tap dance session with my good friend Bobby, then I plan to run and attend Mirna's CoreFlex class (hopefully this time I can do more of the exercises without the simplifying modifier!) and then back to rehearsal for 9 to 5 at RFCT!

For breakfast I had two eggs and a glass of dark chocolate almond milk. It was perfection! Now I am chugging water because I think I am still dehydrated from yoga!

More later, thanks all!
