sunday of excess

Excesses at Target and Bikram! So I went to Target for the first time yesterday and bought a 1L bottle of Listerine (the 1.5L looked a little too big). You know, I was in the neighbourhood. I discovered that if you have a cart at Target you can take it with you between floors via a freaky cart lifter thing:

After Target I convinced Fruit Loops to come with me to my first Bikram yoga class. I wanted to sample the suffering after reading Nicholas’ post. It was an excess of heat and sweating! I don’t know how Nicholas managed to make it through without a towel (my towel was absolutely drenched when I finished). For a while near the end I didn’t think I would make it: the instructor was talking really fast and the salt in my sweat kept stinging my eyes while I was fumbling through the poses. Some people in the class were doing a 30-day Bikram challenge (Bikram every day for 30 days straight). Me, I was happy to have survived one. In the end though I felt really good. I suppose it’s the suffering that gives you the feeling of progress.

It’s always advised to replenish one’s toxins after such a cleansing experience. Fruit Loops and I scarfed down a pepperoni pizza last night and I went out for a big fat burger and a beer after work today. So I’m all back to normal.
