Day 28

Went to early class 9:15 AM. I'm so hot this morning. I'm sick of being HOT! eeK..... Some of my girlfriends are doing 2 classes in one day. I don't want to do that. Too hard. One day at a time. zoe zane
P.S. Talked with daughter, she lifted herself up high in the floor series with arms under herself. WOW! That is aswsome.

Day 27

I did the class, I think I have a tiny piece of glass in my left heel. OUCHIE!

Day 26

In the back to the left and out of the sun by the humidifier. Michelle the owner taught and went over 10 minutes. I wish she would follow the rules and end on time. LOL. I'm making progress with strength and flexibility. I'm pleased with myself. zoe

Day 25 I missed another day

I HATE BIKRAM AND THE STUDIO DAY: It might be a good idea to go to another studio to finish. No one at the San Jose Bikram studio even cares. I can't stand it. They all hang out in their little clicks and chat about their fat stomachs or talk about the good looking teacher that is so sweet. He has never said a nice work to me. I hate this studio right now. Maybe, when I find a place to live I will feel safe again. It seems like bad stuff is right in my face from my life with the old boyfriend who went to ...... The old boyfriend, I hope he gets nuked on his way home. My life would be better. zoe zane
Today will be Day 26. Someone gave me a free pass to another studio. I might go there.

Day 23 and 24

Day 23 I did not see my eyes in the mirror. My place to live is all up in the air. I'm so stressed. My 91 year old Dad is dieing for sure this time. He is out of it. Went to hospital last night and had to leave BC he was crazy in his bed. Poor guy. Day 24, I was strong sucking energy off the good looking Gay teacher. I figure he is gay he doesn't look much at women. He walked around the room like a big stud. Some people even if gay like themselves. Good for him. No one knows if he is gay or they are not telling. Day 24 the room was like HOT HELL! I'm suffering enough and Bikram is torture. Why more torture??? Please air and cool the room down. Why in the hell am I doing this challenge anyway. I feel alone and disconnected. Maybe I need to go to another studio and finish it out there. zoe zane

I want to puke on Day 22 class

Body smells were aweful. A uncircumsized penis smelled unwashed and cheesy. Someone smelled like mold and mothballs. I thought I was over the crap smells in yoga ..... GUESS not!!!!!!!!!!!! Another uptight guy farted again. I'm gone and home with the three cats. Heaven help me. Zoe

Day 21 and Day 22

Pacing myself for the long haul through this challenge. I let my emotions run away and it took a lot of my life force. I STOPPED THAT! I'm in the process of a starting a new life, a new way for myself. Change is scary for me. Today is day 22 and I will go to 4:30 PM class. I have a dinner date with my fetish slave tonight. He is paying for everything! YES.

Day 19 - I forgot to put up the star

I'm not counting the days this time. I just get over there and work on eating for health. Chris G is the teacher. He made me laugh, only opened the door 2 times. He is getting better but still has to prove himself. I thought he might find my grace and not be the Devil Bitch Man Teacher, but he still is. He made us suffer again. I know it's my attitude but he needs to humble himself and have more compassion. He never had kids and is single. I give Chris G a bitch teach rating. LOL. Who am I? I am the baby pusher of 7 kids and gettin over the hell I made for myself in the Mormon church. Zoe Zane

Day 18

Zoe, in the back by humidifier, Sharda, my hot shit girlfriend, signed up on the last day for the challenge. She's a doll and very supportive. She had a asshole Dad like mine. Another friend Jo Ann might help me find a new place to live. I went last night to look at it. It's so perfect. The landlord is thinking about my cats. Cross your fingers, it is mine. It's so perfect for me and the boys. Many of my friends in Bikram yoga are wonderful. I'm so blessed to know them all. Zoe

17 and 18 classes

When in the grind of this challenge you space out. I'm working on empowering myself, take action. No matter what is changing in my life on the outside I will make it all happen. Just breathe. I'm overcoming the idea I have to have a man to be whole from the Mormon church. It is scary but I am working through it. Zoe today is the 18Th day of your challenge girlfriend!

Day 15 and 16

Day 15 was pretty gud for me, but worrying about apt lease. Finding out other class mates are going Thur the same thing. Learning how to make counter offers to landlord. Day 16, tired but did it. Went to store to get food, watched TV, went to sleep. I feel pretty gud this morning. Zoe Zane

Forgot which day I am on

Now I know I'm in the thick of it when I do not know what day I am on. Asked landlord to put my name of the lease instead of old boyfriend. He let me have my cats and then his wife changed her mind. I have been looking for new place to live. Higher rent. LOL. Proposed I put a deposit/pay to blow out duct vents when I leave. It was gud energy with male landlord. His wife owns the building. Money talks with Asians. Landlord kinda tight with fixing the building. Let is simmer with his wife for now. They let me have the cats then changed their minds. All up in the air right now but the energy is better. Day 13 for yoga I was crying. Day 14 I did pretty gud. Today is day 15. I know what day it is . Talked with daughter last night and she is working with ankle injury from Las Vegas in her 60 day Bikram challenge/day 14. She has done 14 straight days right along with me. WHEW! Zoe Zane

Day 12

My daughter was screaming mad at a rooky teacher in her SLC class. The room was so hot even ventran students were slammed to the floor.
My class: I was at the front of the class BC the devil teacher Chris G. was teaching. I told him not to pay any attention to me at all. In the front of the class the door is opened to regulate the heat. I was a smart girl. I did it!
Zoe Zane --- My life right now is in a big whirlwind with my living space, the cats and FFA.

Day 11 - last nights class

I love the teacher Darla, she looks like a swimmer. If you want to be a teacher of Bikram Yoga it's a huge challenge. She said it is all about your attitude about the heat. Now in Las Vegas "teacher trainer classes" nine weeks long, 2 classes a day, 5 days a week, one class on Saturday. Sunday, learn the dialogue and the class heat is up to 120 degrees. LOL. Just practice outside in the summer heat in Las Vegas. HA HA HA ----- The cement of the town stays hot all night long. Vegas is brutal, but I will always love Vegas. It was the town where I was my true self. Some of steady friends are doing the 60 day challenge. A married couple George and Pam. Solid people! They are my foundation friends and I call them the "Georgie Pam Foundation". Big LAUGH out loud from all 3 of us together!!! When you do this challenge it's VERY special to have friend that are there for you and understand the undoing of your life for a better life.

Days 8-11

Day 8, I was sick, but getting better. Day 9 was great, over the sick feeling, BUT ... I have a personal life issue that sent my emotions in a whirlwind. Day 10, a pretty gud class even though I was wasted from worry. Holly, the teacher, knows how to monitor the room just right. I had a story on my face. I didn't want to do the challenge ANYMORE, quite. But, in spite of my fears, I'm doing pretty gud. I have taken action to overcome my doubts. It works, I'm surprised. Tonight, Day 11, I'll eat some potatoes with goat cheese, a big treat for me! Zoe Zane

Day 7 was better

Day 5 & 6

I'm doing 60 straight days of Bikram yoga this summer, my 4th challenge. Last night was hardcore. I hate the teacher. I can do that BC I'm a student. Nazi short smart ass teacher liked to make us suffer. Today is Day 6, and class was hardcore again. Asked the manager why no humidifier and he said yes we are doing it. The last night teacher was popping his attitude and no humidifier in class. I knew he was a man bitch and I don't like him. Bikram is very difficult, why make it more, you dumb ass! It is not about how great you are but having compassion for the class Mr. Chris that spoke Spanish like he was in the movie the Devil's Advocate. I hope he does not like me and I do not want to be his friend. Little man with a little dick atttitude who has to prove he is big. Zoe Zane

Day 4

In the front by the door BUT the teacher slammed iu hard at the beginning with heat and humidity. Then he opened the door and I froze. eeK! Maybe I need to not be so close to the door. My daughter is on the same day with me. I'm making a deal with landlord for a new lease where my name is legally on the lease. After the con artist boyfriend left me for another woman I was barely holding myself together. My lower back has been acting up again. I said my positive affirmation and my back is better today. I've noticed when I'm in a lot of pain, I beat myself up more. Thatz not gud. I went in last night and was a zomb with my 3 cats.

Day 3

Up in the front by the mirror with a great friend, an older woman. The teacher Darla opened the door, cool air, a few times. I'm thinking, I can do this summer 60 day challenge. YES! Talked with daughter, she has done 3 straight days. She has to drive over an hour to class this weekend BC of the holiday, the Fourth of July. Some of us must go through more. I'm so proud of her. Over 1 1/2 hours travel time and then 90 mins for the class. Her studio does not open the door. Rated extreme hardcore Bikram Yoga Studio. eeK! zoe zane bikram blogger
I'm concentrating on stillness and regular breathing patterns on each pose.

Day 2

4:30PM class in the back, middle of class, saw myself in the mirror. Everytime we finish a class, it is one star. I'm attracted to the sparkle gold star, support team "Hot Pockets" instructor Linda, she's a hottie, a sweet friend. In the middle of the class it was difficult the heat. Holly the teacher opened the door. I drank plenty of water yesterday. Zoe Zane

We did it day 1

My daughter called after her class. She went to Wholefoods to get good food for energy. I did my class in the back by the humidifier. Patrick was the teacher, a great friend and fantastic teacher. Lock your knees, start and end the pose ALL together at the same time for powerful group energy. Day 1 was a good class. Look at this challenge like I'm brushing my teeth. Great advise from a new teacher from Lithuania. Mom Zoe

1st Day

I have practice Bikram Yoga close to 7 years. Today is July 3, 2010. I will begin my 60 straight days of Bkiram Yoga. This will be my 4th challenge. I have not done a challenge in the summer. I can do the winter challenge. I need to take extra good care of myself since the summer heat is huge challenge for me. Wish my luck. I can do it. YES, I can! It is all about the mind and what you tell yourself. At 75 years old I will look like 35 years old. That is my intention. I will go to the 4:30 PM class today. The sun comes down hard on the studio at this time. My daughter and I are doing the challenge together. She's in another state. She told me we can do this together Mom. Yes we can!!!
