Hot Yoga & Headaches

I drank tons of water yesterday, peed all day long and then I went to Hot Yoga last night. I think I lost 4lbs just overnight because of all the fluid loss from drinking/peeing/sweating I did yesterday. Tomorrow it will be back to normal.  I’ve been drinking lots of water but yesterday I drank even more because I was just plain thirsty. I’m sure I was up to 4+ litres of water in total for the day.

Hot Yoga was interesting as I haven’t been since the beginning of the month and last night the room was exceptionally hot. And I didn’t do as well as I could have. But everyone is going to have those days where things just don’t click. I felt a bit nauseous and dizzy. Kept me from doing some of the poses. And my darn hip is still really tight. Another part of my old body I’ve noticed hurting since the summer is my left ankle. I can’t put any pressure on it if I am kneeling down. It’s like the calf muscle is so stiff my ankle feels like it is  going to break. Left ankle, right hip? Hmmm… Think I may have been walking funny with all the walking I did in preparation for the Kidney March in September? I’m thinking so, and now I have another ache and pain to deal with and deal with it I will. More Hot Yoga and stretching.

We are having fairly warm weather right now (above 0 degree Celsius is warm around here) and although I much prefer that to the freezing cold temperatures we had last week I get headaches from it. I am susceptible to changes in the barometric pressure. I live close to the mountains and when the warm weather comes over the top, we get what they call “Chinooks”. This brings warm air over from the West Coast. But it brings horrible headaches for me L When we go to Mazatlan in May, that is about the only time I don’t get headaches. Sea Level versus an altitude of 3500 feet makes Sandra’s head feel much better! Maybe I should think about permanently moving South?

Oh well, I’ve lived with it for 49 years, I guess I will survive J for a few more.

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC day!
