Coconut water is amazing stuff. I knew that it would become a staple for my challenge from the moment I had my first sip yesterday after class. I noticed that my teacher was handing them out to people who were hurtin' real bad (ie. nearly fainting). He said that it was a great sports drink, that it would help replenish electrolytes. I figured I'd give it a try.
I got a weird headache mid-way through class yesterday. I knew that I couldn't be horribly dehydrated because I drank at least 20 glasses of water over the course of the day. I figured it must have been my electrolytes. Sure enough, 10 minutes after I drank the delicious elixir my headache was gone.
Miraculous!

Today, with coconut water in hand, I completed my 2nd Bikram yoga class. Today I chose front row center. The room felt hotter today and it was one hell of a workout. I think that my biggest challenge over the next month will be trying to stay present, in the poses, in the class, without escaping. Today my escape sounded something like this :).
Okay, I'm sleepy. I swear I will talk more about the yoga soon.
Wish me luck tomorrow!
