I started out on this Raw Yoga journey looking to excavate myself into a Raw Hot Yoga Body. So after 1 month here are the results:

1- No Weight Loss, gained about 2 lbs (now 145). I really think this is because of the muscle gain.
2. Stamina Increased. I can ride my stationary bike for 45Min at 9MPH and get my heart rate up. I could never do this before.
3. My Skin is So SOFT! It's incredible what a sweating profusly can do to your skin.
4. My Legs and Abs are… Continue

Today feels like Thursday - I hate it when that happens and you find that you have to work your way to the end of the week!

Yesterday's Hot Yoga session was a killer. I felt like I was going to die every minute and I just watched that clock tick by so ever slowly. I have good yoga sessions and bad ones. I guess that's true for everything isnt it? It's how you get through it that really matters most. Hold your head up high, smile, and breathe.

Bikram Yoga is hot Yoga. (105 degrees or more)
It's even hotter if you are carrying around 20-25 lbs of extra weight.

Today, I didn't let it get the worst of me. I know I h… Continue

I started out with such great intentions and had such a challenge on my first day. I travel a lot for business and so it is one of my biggest hurdles on this road to whole fu!

I started the day with fruit, brought fruit with me on the plane but of course as soon as I land everyone wants to go get dinner. I usually order my salad (no meat/no cheese) but today I couldn't resist the goat cheese on cracker bread. AND... my mantra for this challenge was No Cheese, No Chips and No Crackers.. Look at… Continue

I like to think of myself is 100% Raw but I would be lying to you and myself. I probably settle in around 90% on most days and 80% twice a week and 70% when I travel for business. So what does this make me? HEALTHY! Damn it who cares about the percentage. It's not a contest. But what is it then? A measurement of success? A barometer of my ability to commit to something 100%? Complete and total control of my appetite and feelings?

So what does it measure? I've been struggling with this all day..… Continue
