Day 11 & 12 2 Business Trips

Made it through day 11 this past Saturday with food poisoning. Thought I was good to go but about an hour 10 in was in rough shape. I did make it through. On Sunday morning I left for a business trip to the central coast. To my dismay there was not a Bikram studio in San Simeon or Cambria. Before I knew it I was 3 days in the hole. I did however take advantage of my time up there and visited the Hearst Castle, a winery, and walked the beautiful beaches with my dog Daisy and Dave my roommate. I got home late Tuesday nite and knew since my coworker had been shipped to Charlotte I was going to have to head south to San Diego for the next few days. I decided I better find a studio and fortunately found one in Encinitas. I went to a 630pm class. So glad to be back on track and giving myself the time my body deserves! To my dismay my boss called and I am being shipped to Charlotte, NC for 10 nights. I decided I would not let this business trip get in the way of my goal and completing the challenge. I will find a hotel near a Bikram studio. Easier said then done. Almost every hotel was sold out due to some basketball conference. I finally found a Sheraton that is within 2 miles of the studio! Mission accomplished! I will be able to practice while I'm there.
