The Gift of Time

Got off work early - got to work out-  Hot Yoga.. Hottest day ever in the Richmond District too  and it was hard.  I longed for sips of fog. It was not quite as hard as my last work out when I was so tired. Just hot. I was a little wobbly but strong.  I was probably the oldest person there. I remember  always being the youngest , strange feeling.  The teacher kept trying to make jokes and  when his "jokes" were met with silence he kept saying "tough crowd!" Not sure that having an open mic in the middle of a Yoga class is a good idea. Maybe if he started picking on people it might get interesting.  He could be like " hey you fatty don't give up if your boob was smaller you could get your head on your knee, just push it to the side and stretch!!!!" or  he could act like  the drill Sargent from the movie  Full Metal Jacket." shouting "are you a steer or a queer?"  I would heckle back saying "this is my Yoga mat there is no other mat like it, it is my own ..." You get the picture  That might be funny. It was just a strange forum for jokes. I like it when Priests crack jokes in Church, I think some Dr's can get away with them if they have good timing and I would not mind if a cop made a joke when they pulled me over. I guess if he told jokes that were funny it could have been another story. I did not even realize he was trying to be funny as many of the things they say in sincerity I find hilarious.  It just sort of took me back to some bad open mic comedy nights of my own!

Got home from class took a shower and put on some shorts that were size XL and ridiculously huge on me. They look like the  pants in an 'after" shot that  the newly thin person is holding up. They will be mine. I  have to start putting pictures up on this. I will. Stay tuned for pictures of the shorts, transformed Jenny Craig food and my boots!   Maybe I could sneak a camera into Yoga!

 Also when I got home I was STARVING. I took the weight loss counselor advise and had a lean protein high fiber 1/2 a sandwich and it helped. These hot SF days are tough not to make a Margarita .  We do not get too many of these days.  "Skinny Girl Margarita's " kept coming into my head during class maybe that is why I did not get his "jokes"

The scale for the past 2 days has shown good progress.  I have to weigh in Thursday at 4:20 (  for the pot heads I said 4:20 haha)  I always weigh in the morning. I hope I get credit for all my work or actually luck because last  weekend was bad!
