Funday

Funday is anyday that Nick, Max, and I are together ALL DAY.  Usually Sunday.  Yesterday was definitely a FUN day.  We woke up.  The 3 of us hung out in bed.  Had breakfast.  Went to church at St. Thomas More with the family.  Max does not sit still anymore like he used to.  He wants to practice walking throughout church and play with kids.  He is becoming a toddler!

Took these photos after church with Auntie Reina…one of Max’s biggest fans.

Then we went home.  Cleaned the house.  Napped.  Went to Fred Meyer to buy storage bins that were on sale.  Thennnnn we took our friend Marc’s (aka Dales) Hot Yoga class at http://yogatothepeople.com/ in the U-District with our friends, Grace and Jason. 

Marc is an amazing instructor and really WANTS and HELPS you succeed during class.

This was my second time ever taking yoga…hot yoga. I think I did so much better this time around compared to my first time. I think it’s because I knew what to expect.

What to expect for first timers like myself:

• It will only get hotter and hotter until the very end.  Like SAUNA hot.
• It will seem like the longest 60 or 90 minutes of your life…at first.  It’s kind of like a scary roller coaster ride.  At first you’re excited.  Then you get on the ride and think, WHY DID I DO THIS?  GET ME OFF!  Then when it’s all done, you want to do it all over again.
• You will think you can’t breathe or you have to throw up or pee…just lie down on the floor and breathe and regain composure
• People will be 1/2 naked around you before and after class.
• Do not drink too much water RIGHT before or else you will have to pee during the whole class.  Drink a lot of water 2 hours before and pee before class.
• Do not eat A LOT within a couple hours of class or else it may want to come back up.
• BRING WATER
• You have to focus, believe in yourself, relax and push through it and you will feel SO GOOD afterwards (and maybe a little dizzy).

THEN after class we went to Trader Joe’s to complete our crazy night out without the babies.  Last time the 4 of us together (with Kim) we ended our crazy night with Babies R Us.  Ha.  Oh Parenthood.
