I'm bored today, can you tell?
So my a new personal goal last week was to try something new every week. Whether it was going to a new place to eat, a new fitness class, do something I've never done, it just had to be new.
So, this week, is kind of an extension of my last weeks "new". I'm trying Yoga tomorrow again, a new place called Continuity Yoga. I'm going for a session in the morning called Healthy Backs. I'm hoping that this will relieve some of the tension in my back, as that is where I get tight from stress. So I didn't like Yoga the first time, but I'm giving it another shot. I'll keep ya posted.
This is my account of my life, one day at a time. Running, Weight Loss, Marriage, you name it, it gets talked about.

And a Happy Friday to you..
I've been saying I was going to try Yoga for quite sometime, and I've been a combination of lazy and standoffish about it. Well I finally tried it last night for the first time. It was definitely different. I don't know what I was expecting, in fact I think I went in with little or not expectations of what it would be like.
First of all, I would love to say thanks to the folks over at Ann Arbor Yoga, they were great, very accommodating, and made sure that the experience was great. They were friendly and helpful.
Second, I'll tell you I didn't enjoy it. I think Yoga is one of those things that is just for certain people, and I'm not one of them. I think the biggest reason I didn't like it is just because I almost fell asleep, multiple times. I guess the other reason I didn't like it is just because I have no grace, what-so-ever. Yoga is one of those things that when you watch people who do it (and are good at it) they are very graceful. Me on the other hand, I looked like an elephant in a china shop. I'm sure it was amusing to the instructor nonetheless.
So, I've decided I will try something new next week. I'm going to try to get to an "activity" several times a week. Looks like next week, I have several options at local community rec centers, or other local fitness establishments that allow drop in. I am defiantly going to do spinning one day next week, I've done it before and I liked it, so I will try that again. Other than that it will be some sort of fitness class like kick boxing or toning deal. Should be fun, and I'll keep you updated.
It's finally gorgeous here in Michigan. It's nice once the weather turns you can finally get outside and be active. Today, Saturday and Sunday is suppose to be in the 70's and sunny, YES! I'm hoping to maybe dust off the Rollerblades this weekend, and also get the mountain bike out. I'm either going to go biking at the trails at the Metropark or hit the trails at Maybury State Park, I haven't decided yet. But as you can tell, I forsee and active weekend ahead and I'm pumped.
Weigh In is tomorrow. This is the week that I typical don't lose because of TOM, but we will see, and I'll keep you posted!
