Eli and I went to Bikram Yoga (yup, that's the hot room kind) today after work for 90 minutes of sweaty, masochistic... sweating. We were a little scared going in since we had no clue what to expect. We both freaked out for a minute when our instructor said "you might not want to drink water right now because it could actually make you more nauseous" and it was definitely hard work, but we left feeling very relaxed and cleansed.
And just because we felt like crunchy California folk tonight, we had whole wheat pita pizzas with vegetables for dinner. Yum!

I went to yoga last week for the first time (in fact I don't know why I didn't blog about it!). My class was like 90 degrees, except that was from the sweaty bodies in there, and not on purpose. We'll see if I go back any time soon, I'm hesitant to see another 250 pound hairy Middle Eastern guy take his shirt off in front of the class...
hmm...does yoga acually build muscle or does it just make you more flexible? i need a winter-time exercise plan.
I don't know that it would bulk you up, but it definitely tones and defines muscle -- this is one of the more advanced moves: http://www.randomhouse.de/dynamicspecials/bikramyoga/images/yoga5.jpg
