Day 7 - the challenge is making the time

Ah....

So - I am not even 1 full week into this 30 day bikram challenge - but I am physically and mentally feeling amazing.
I am sleeping great - only craving vegetables and healthy foods (which is weird) - and enjoying the benefits.

In class - I feel like a rubberband - and each stretch and breath feels deeper and more amazing.
The sweat is so cleansing - and it is really just like lying in a sauna for an hour and a half. It is amazing.

Now - the actual challenge - is making this work with my life.
My 2 most important people are Alexis and Matt.

The 6am classes didn't happen this week.....(except on Monday) - On Wednesday, because Matt had to leave really early for work - I ended up going to the 6:30pm.
Today is Friday - and I didn't make it up this morning, because Alexis was up sick at 3am - and I needed the extra sleep.

So - trying to make a 4:30 class on Friday work seems like a challenge to me.

It means sacrificing my family time with Alexis and Matt.
I am just starting to worry that maybe this "challenge" is showing me that I should be a little less self centered?

Sure it is great to challenge your body - and my name is on the top of the sign up list (at the studio)......oooh...there goes my pride......but at what cost am I challenging my family life?

Something to think about - or pray about for a bit.
Matt says he is fine with today...and he will be home in time for me to go.

Am I doing something well deserved for myself by doing this challenge? Or am I being self centered?
I guess only I can answer that question - and time will tell.
