Yoga....more like You-Gotta-Be-Kidding-Me.......
Well, it's official: I am too fat for yoga. Dammit. I tried a basic yoga routine today. I did alright until it was time for something called a "child's pose". My head was no where near the floor, and I damn near fell over. I honestly did not realize how badly my weight has affected my agility until today! I could not bend far enough due to fat rolls; I could barely get my legs in the proper crossed position required for basic poses. OMG it was such a disaster. Talk about an eye opener. The only thing that kept me from curling up in the fetal position in utter defeat and shame was the fact that I can't bend that goddamn far. I mean, really? Am I really that fat? *sigh* I am determined to do yoga, though. Maybe I can find a fat girl routine or something. Until then, I suppose I will just stick with my Turbo Jam. Yoga could be dangerous. I can see it now, my husband coming home to find me laid out in the floor unconscious because I lost my balance and crushed myself. Maybe after I lose some more rolls, yoga won't be so difficult. Besides, it is supposed to relax you. I was pretty much gasping like a sick moose. Not my best moment. I'm happy with exercise for now. Oh well. At least I did try. Until next time....

O M G I remember this feeling. I used to say how much I hated Yoga and didn't get the point, then after p90x yoga for 3 months I was actually able to do it and not suffocate my self with my own fat and I was like oooooh this is why people like it. You'll get there!
