days 7 and 8

day 7: surprisingly went well, minimal sweating.  I wondered, did i sweat it all out already? it was somewhat frustrating to weigh myself this morning, realizing one whole week of masochism and not one pound dropped. in fact it looked like i was gaining weight. but i committed to 30 days, and i stick to my promises i make (even to myself).  I guess I am one who likes to push some type of crazy discipline, vs. times of vices.  For many years I was a pescatarian.  I tried again recently, but lasted only for a month b/c I began getting sick. Heightened allergies.  I will now just eat meat in moderation.  I realize it is good to cleanse (even annually), knowing you can steer away from vices. But again, everything in moderation.

day 8: this class was pure hell.  from the initial breath work in the first 15 minutes, i felt nauseous.  i was curious if i should have left.  i literally felt like throwing up the entire time.  i was burping my lunch from 5-6 hours ago.  but i stuck through it.  at times, it did improve if i was spitting up phlegm into my shirt or towel.  purely disgusting, i would never do this outside of the bikram room.  after class, i talked to the receptionist.  she said this was normal, and this simply is going to a deeper level of detox.  Detoxing...sugars, processed foods, amino acids, proteins.  I should take it easy the next day, drink salt, and avoid processed foods. isn't everything processed?
