Ouch

I am on a "get in shape" kick. This really doesn't have much to do with the wedding (and it would be a little late for that anyways) but has more to do with the fact that I have gained weight since I went off topamax. I am back to the weight I was before I went on that pill so it isn't a huge deal but it is a good reason to start being sort of active again.


Anyways, I bought a living social deal for two months of unlimited hot yoga and went for the first time last night.

1. Hot yoga is hot.
2. I do remember the poses (yay!)
3. I am not as flexible as I have been.
4. SWEAT.
5. I am really sore today.
6. I think there is something wrong with my neck.*
7. It is a really nice place and I am looking forward to trying it again.



* I know there is something wrong with my neck, the last MRI I had showed something that causes issues sometimes but last night it was a completely different level of pain and not the pain you get when you are out of shape and are working out. Rather, shooting nerve pain. WTF?

Please be careful with your neck pain and the hot yoga. Hot yoga allows your muscles to flex more than they really should, which is part of why people like it, but if you have an existing injury / issue - you could end up hurting yourself. Just watch the neck parts, k?
