Weigh day!

Add another  pound gone for a total of 17 LB! My coat was a little loser and I feel pretty dang good.

Yesterday I got home from work and again searched for excuses not to work out. I was tired, I could do it Thursday blah blah blah. I called Jack and he encouraged me. I put my clothes and immediately felt like going. This technique has worked for me in the past. This combined with a run in with some of my very favorite candly made by a coworker pointed me in one direction- Yoga.
 Last night in Yoga I had a teacher I have never had. A young man boy who seemed to be quite irritated with some girls that actually talked during class, then one had the nerve to leave in the middle for a break from the heat. These are strict no no's in Yoga.  When someone leaves the room you can expect a comment from the teacher.  Some are more positive then others. Some of the teachers get pretty pissed off. This does not help matters when you are trying to be zen like. The entire class was a bit like "Simon Says"  He says " take a deep breath, inhale your arms above your head , place hands in prayer and take a giants step forward with your right leg and charge forward into a giant "t"" If you took a step a second early he would get mad and say something rather mean like "it is not yoga if we do not do  it together" Whatever. H reminded me a little of  Kevin Bacon in Animal House shouting "All is well in the riot scene"   He got mad if you moved before he told you too. It is hard sometimes to go at the slow deliberate  pace they ask of you. It is 26 poses - always the same ones. You get to know the moves and can anticipate the next move. Sometimes I go over them in my head before we do them  I am like " 1/2 tortoise, camel, rabbit head to knee twist breath and we are out of here!"  Well I began my Yoga sit up before he told us to move and got scolded, I felt like saying at least I did not talk or leave the room. I thought he might yell " I did not say "Simon Says"  you are out!"   So felt strong but it was weird. In the end I am glad I went. I was tired but strong.  I also think they cleaned because it was not as stinky as last time.

More of the same bike, yoga and Jenny Craig. Jack is now a licensed contractor so a celebration is in order too! 

A note about shopping... Avoiding all the sales being thrust at me.  Shop at Bloomingdale's right now and you could also help them raise money for breast cancer. Clever clever clever Bloomingdale's if the promo code PINK11 (for 20% off)  worked for  new Uggs they would have had me but it did not so no Uggs for me!
