So I took my first 'hot yoga' class last night. Before being convinced to go, I was afraid of the heat. Being a previously larger person, heat and I were not friends so of course I was concerned about it. But turns out it wasnt the heat that was the hard part. It was the moves. Holy nuts! This sh*t was no joke.

I got into the room very early and the heat wasnt bad at all. I had taken previous yoga classes but this one apparently was for more experienced folks because there were some moves that had my thinking in my head "you got to be out of your mind". The times that I couldnt do the move or felt a little light headed, I just sat in childs pose and drank some Water and blotted my dripping face. No one judged and there were people as large or larger than myself which made me feel comfortable. I just didnt have the muscle strength to do some of the moves.

Im proud to say that I stayed in the room the whole time and managed about 80% of the moves. When they say you will be drenched from head to toe, they mean it! I know I got a good workout because I slept like a rock and Im sore today.

The best part, I lost 2 pounds overnight

Should I go get a scan of it? It does not seem to inhibit me much in running ( today), but I definitely feels different on that knee. Kind of like a little heated and achy when sitting at my computer desk. It was like a really large pop on Saturday and I thought, that can't be good. No pain really though that is constant and it is only minor when I do notice it. Not really an issue though. It does not feel like it would stop me.

Can't hurt to get it checked. At least you'd know if you need to ease up on it for a few days. I'm uber cautious about knees, though.

My knees get pretty bruised up during those poses. I have to resort to bringing an extra towel to roll up and put under my knee or I was considering bringing one of those gardening pads. They are nice and cushy. Im so sorry that your knee is hurty. Be careful sweety.
