Yoga Sucks

I don't know if it is in my nature to actually be a yogi. But I can't think of any other activity that will get me moving, stretch my body like it needs to be, but below impact due to the fact that my hip sucks.

And so, here I am, 8:30 at night, stretching myself into weird positions on my bedroom floor while watching Adrian the YouTube sensation.

But here's the thing, I did it. I did the whole thing. every once in awhile I had to take a break, because it is actually hard. You wouldn't think you'll get would be that difficult, but when you haven't moved in several years like me, it is truly hard. But I got all the way through it, and I did yoga two nights in a row. Go me.

and now that I'm going on choir to her, I just have to make sure that I don't eat crappy, and I actually stick with the yoga routine. Wish me luck.

Battle of the Bulge: Post-Kids

Well, here I am. Writing about the battle of the Bulge. AGAIN.

Almost two years ago, we moved. And since I am a emotional eater, I ate. A lot.

And I gained. A lot.

All of a sudden, I was approaching 170. What? How did that happen?

1) I moved less. I concentrated less onh kids and more on packing up for a move.
2) I got a new job. Cue emotional eating ALL THE TIME.
3) I had a new co-worker.
4) My kids had new schools.
5) Drew had a new baby sitter.

All of things led to me eating and over the course of about 1.5 years, I have gained weight. A lot.

I don't move as much as I used to. My body hurts more. I snack more often. I still eat a healthy breakfast and healthy lunch, but I eat too big of portions at supper. All in all ai am doing just enough of the wrong thing.

I tried yoga tonight. It sucked. I thought at one point I was going to pass out. But I realized I tried a yoga that was absolutely way too difficult for my first time. Hopefully, I will be able to figure out how to find a first time yoga video on YouTube. Hopefully.

So this is my first post for a new me. I am ready to start looking out for ME and not everyone else.

Onward!
