Excellent....so now I have official permission to eat lots of carbs!!!

I knew up front that the full belly would negatively impact, I was just curious how much. Hard to determine what it was actually as it had been a very stressful work day and I also think that impacts the ability to relax through meditation.

As in many things, it's hard to isolate the real factor that creates the impact. That is to say the causal relationship rather than simply a correlation. So...more experimenting (though perhaps it's a good point about not doing statics in the hot tub...I had that thought as well but figured it wasn't really THAT hot).

Thanks for the input!
