I wrote a blog yesterday explaining how I LISTENED to my intuitive ‘inner self’ and as a result am now fully engaged in a commitment to do Bikram Yoga- for at least 30 days.
Day 4
I’m not going to lie…. I am exhausted today. It’s interesting how I can go to the gym, lift weights, play tennis etc. and not have the kind of fatigue I am feeling at this moment….but I am not complaining, it is a ‘good feeling of fatigue’, not a bad one.
When I woke up today I thought if I were still body building like when I was a competitive body builder at age 30, (incidentally- that was 30 years ago) I would definitely have taken the day off.
You need a day to rest, yes? Upper body one day, lower the next or back and biceps, chest and triceps, etc. This way you have a day for recovery.
I have not found what to do to fully recover from 90 minutes of Bikram yoga, other than to take it easy, stay hydrated and eat healthy foods before repeating it all over again the following day. Heck maybe what I am experiencing- besides the dumping of and elimination of toxins is that I have not stretched my muscles, my ligaments, my arteries or my body like this in a very LONG time!!!!
Approximately 6 years ago my husband and I did P90X….. which incidentally in many ways is easier than what I am currently experiencing. Every Thursday during that 90-Day program we did 90 minutes of “Tony Horton’s yoga”. Dave called it “Yoga from HELL” as it was tough….but I have to say the benefits outweighed our dislike of that yoga routine. Bikram is far better!!!!
Having been a personal trainer I remember how much I enjoyed doing the Beach Body P90X program because all you had to do was show up and push play. I was not training anyone, I was BEING trained. If you followed the instruction with good effort and form, you get results. It was nice being trained rather than being the ‘trainer’.
The instruction is one of the best things I like about Bikram Yoga. If I can just GET THERE and follow instructions and give it my best, I will receive the benefits.
In all honesty there is no room to have a big belly or muffin top when doing any kind of exercise, but especially with yoga. The belly simply gets in the way!!!! I feel like my waist is already a little smaller in just 4 days. Could that be possible?
Day 4 ‘down’…another fantastic instructor at Queen City Bikram Yoga today! Alex was great! I am impressed.
To bed early tonight, 8 pm. I’ll apply new Quantum Strips on my arm and on my dan tien area tomorrow. I know it helps. 
Also I’ll add some of the TAVALA TRIM (drink that is a metabolism booster, gives you energy and focus, suppresses the appetite and helps you lose body fat!
Day 5
I actually thought of getting up and doing the 6:30 am class today but I just couldn’t get myself going. I am listening to my body. GREAT class at 9:00 am. Another great instructor, Stacie….I continue to be impressed with Queen City Bikram Yoga.
Bikram yoga is therapeutic~ 
there were a couple of gals there today who chose Bikram over traditional physical therapy post-injuries or accidents. Their doctors are impressed with their recovery and things that they are now capable of doing that they were told they would not be able to do again. That keeps me going. Yes, therapy…. exactly what I want. Something more than just the physical.
Sweating toxins from the body has made my mind and body clear and cleaner in thought. I am more deliberate in my thoughts and actions. I like the new shift occurring.
Five Days Straight doing Bikram Yoga. I am proud of myself! But I am most proud of myself for both ASKING and then LISTENING to what my body, mind and spirit needed! 
Yes I show up each day and honestly do my best, but if I didn’t know WHY I was doing it I doubt I’d have the inner motivation or drive. In some ways it is like business….once you find your WHY or reason you want to accomplish something and connect it with your ‘sweet spot – it comes to fruition.
In the past month Dave and I have accomplished what few have accomplished with Tavala, the company that has the Quantum Relief Strips I talk about wearing on my body.
We’ve accomplished a whole new level of success and several things have opened up… and I believe there are many reasons. One reason I believe is that we now are looking outside OUR own personal success, /and what we can gain from more abundance which creates room for others growth and success. 
Another thing we have begun to do is to donate a portion of all our customer sales to WEA, an organization “Women’s Earth Alliance”. I am so moved with what this organization is doing to help women (children and families as a results) all around the globe. http://womensearthalliance.org/
I’d love to hear from you if you have ASKED your own body what it needs and actually LISTENED to what you heard.
Did you like the answer or fight it like I did? We are wise and yet the wisdom of our bodies is far wiser than our minds.

I agreed to try the TRIM and gave out the additional sample packs to friends who were interested with No obligation at all! My husband Fran didn’t begin taking the TRIM until the end of May after I had already been losing weight.

The Sample Pack is also called our STARTER PACK as it will START you on your weight loss journey. You’ll have more energy so you may begin becoming more active and since it suppresses your appetite don’t be surprised if you naturally become a decisive eater and eat less AND choose healthier foods. It is very effective. A Sample is just that….. a sample for you to try.
In 2017, Tavala updated the Tavala Trim capsules to split the dosage in half, which means as of now, two capsules equal one serving of Tavala Trim (as long as the bottle shows 56 capsules inside).
The TRIM is only $69.99 (USA prices) for a 28-day supply and can be purchased at
