Yes...It was a hard wall...

So, as you've all noticed I have not blogged in quite sometime. I went to a few classes after my last post...five last week I think, including a double on Saturday. I was taking Sunday off and prepared to double up, maybe try an advanced class and such, to meet my 60 day challenge. Then the cold came. Not cold as in temperature, but cold as in sinus pain, runny nose, coughing and congestion. Most people could just take an over the counter remedy and go on without be to terribly hindered but I am not allowed to take any medication because of my recent liver problems. I couldn't hardly talk on Monday, spent ALL day Tuesday in bed, quite a bit of Wednesday in bed, and have been trying to work the best I can today. I finished up 30 classes in I think about 40 days and that itself is a big accomplishment for me. The fact that I was on the top of a transplant list just 3 months ago and didn't know what my life ahead of me would hold and was still able to start this wonderful Bikram journey is amazing to me. So, I don't think I will be making my 60/60 challenge, but that is okay. I have made some amazing transformations in mental and physical stability. Once I kick this cold in the bud I plan to start my classes up again. I leave on a company trip to Jamaica on September 11 and I would like to try to do 30-35 classes prior to departure. Thanks everyone for the support you have given me. I will keep this blog updated with my new Jamaica Challenge, I will call it. After I retrun from that trip I'm hoping to start up a new 60 day challenge. The only good thing about not completing this challenge is that I know now that its not about just 60 days, its about life. Its a journey and I have taken a detour but I will be back on my Yoga path shortly. As Arnie and Jen say "It's always perfect weather for Bikram Yoga!"
