Body Release

Well, as you know, I started a new term this week. I have a new class that I'm in, but I also have new students because the new term has also begun for them as well. I usually teach 6 classes each term, in addition to my own classes that I'm taking. However, this term is a little different because a colleague on my team is on maternity leave. So happy for her and her husband! Therefore, I divided her 6 classes: I took 3 and delegated the other 3 to a colleague. In essence, I have 9 classes this term, plus my own (thank God, I'm only taking one class this term), which makes it 10 in total. You can see why a body release was needed.

This week, a friend (same one from the fashion shows-we also work at the same school) and I had planned to go to Bikram Yoga. It didn't work out Tuesday-she was a little late and they wouldn't let her in the class although they were late to start. So even though I was already in the class, I left, well because I'm a good friend :), but it's something we had planned to do together. We went to eat at Chili's instead. We couldn't do yoga Wednesday due to a family emergency of hers, and couldn't do it Thursday because of my schedule (I took my hubby shopping at Aurora Outlet Mall. In my opinion, he was in need of clothing and a coat).

Thus Friday, we committed to yoga and did it! Let me tell you: When they say hot yoga, they mean it. The room was set to 110 degrees and the yoga session was 90 minutes (1 1/2 hours). Talk about sweating out the toxins! I must say though, my body felt good afterwards (lighter, cleaner, relaxed, definitely not fresh though). I took a slight break (3minutes) since I was feeling dizzy while in the room, and my friend did as well for a little longer because she was hot. Even our frosty cold bottled water melted! Afterwards, we went to lunch at EATT. How ironic. Yes, that's the name. We'd both been there before. Then, we parted ways to embark on our Friday adventures; Mine was some light shopping (bought my hubby a pair of shoes; again, desparate need) and then getting to see my family! In all, it has been a great week :)...
