Week 26: Still torn about Bikram Yoga...

6.2.13 Day 176 - 6.8.13 Day 182: 

• Wore makeup just about every day this week just fine! There is just a bit of dryness around my mouth still 
• Still taking Atarax at night for the discomfort on my neck 
• Arms are still flared and flaking like crazy around the creases 
• front and backs of shoulders are still rashy 
• Finally able to workout without the sweat burning my skin 
• Survived my first Bikram yoga class, aka yoga in a 105 degree and 40% humidity room for those of you who didn't know 
• Pro - sweating and detoxing felt great 
• Con - I scratched during the class and ended up tearing myself up. First I was just red all over, then once that died down I had BRIGHT red scratch marks on my face, neck, arms, chest. I had to cover my arms and layer on the makeup so that I wouldn't look scary at camp. I think I will try the class again and just try really hard not to scratch with my nails.

Song of the Week: "And I've been known to take a big chance but I can't waste another shot at redemption. Oh I'm ready don't let me go passing through the wrong hands, wrong hands. My confidence is in crisis mode, your fingertips well they know the code. Release me and take other piece of me and there won't be another left. C'mon release me, release me take onother piece of me and there won't be another left unless you let go." Release Me - Jack's Mannequin
