Well, I lucked out. We're getting between 4 and 6" of snow this morning, so I will not be going to weigh-in. However, I did weigh myself at home, and my home scale says I lost .02 pounds. Eh. I'll take it. Given the PMS-induced food coma I've been in for the last few days, any kind of a loss is good. So now my week begins again, with my bank of weekly thingies restored to 35, and I'll endeavour to do better. I just have to get through the weekend.
Oh, and by the way, whoever said yoga was easy, lied. Two weeks ago, for one of my rewards, I bought a yoga beginner's kit: a mat, block, strap, and a Rodney Yee beginner's A.M. yoga dvd. I've been using the dvd, but it was really more like meditation-style yoga, and it was pretty quick, maybe only 20 minutes. It wasn't what I thought, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. So the other day, I go back to the store and pick up another Yoga for Beginners DVD, this time by Patricia Walden (I think). Now, because I was feeling guilty for overeating, I went to the gym yesterday morning, and then came home and popped the DVD into the player. My God! This was much more what I had in mind. It was definitely challenging, but I made it through the 40 minute workout. This morning, however... well, that's another story. I am so sore! My arms and shoulders, and my back muscles are the worst. But hey! I think that's good. Clearly I used some muscles that I haven't been using at the gym, so I figure by doing yoga and continuing my cardio routine at the gym, I'm getting a pretty comprehensive workout.
Okay, I'm going to limp my way to kitchen for some more coffee...

I enjoy yoga. I found that I was better off attending a yoga class than doing a DVD as I wasn't sure I was performing the poses correctly and I didn't want to hurt myself! I find yoga to be relaxing. I guess I should really get back into that? I better go find a class around here that I can join! :)
