While I was away, I bought a Yoga tape, stress relief for beginners - it says right on the label "for all ages, all body types, all fitness levels" so I figured hey, great for me! Then once the tapes starts, there's a few warning screens - menstruating women should not do the abdominal twisting exercises, pregnant women shouldn't bend over backwards, and the final warning - yoga should not be performed by those not physically fit. And they're right - I've come to realize yoga is not meant for fat chicks. Touch my forehead to my kneecaps? Are you insane? I don't think I could've done that when I was skinny, let alone now! But I did it anyway, warnings aside. It's a good thing I live alone - I can only imagine how silly I must have looked. But to my surprise, it was actually kind of fun. Afterwards I felt totally relaxed and energized, all at the same time. So I did 50 crunches just for the heck of it. Hey, I've got a wedding to get ready for! :)

Oh Heathy, it's not mine ;) I'm invited to Lisa and Ted's wedding in October. I was very excited when I found out - I know both of them have HUGE families and not all of their friends from here were going to be invited, so I was pretty happy to be one of the chosen few. Now I just have to find a date! And a dress! And buy a present....hmm, maybe this isn't such a good thing ;)
