Day one of the New Dawn

Well today was day one of my new healthy living torture. I learned a few things I would like to share with you.
What I learned about Dieting today
#1 - Do not sign up for weightwatchers because of their spokesperson Jennifer Hudson. Because really the odds are she had weightwatcher executives babysitting her 24 hours a day 7 days of week. I bet they monitored everything she ate and chased her around a running track luring her with big wads of money. Because really our Jen was a big girl, that has had some major stress, had a baby and is not 20 anymore.

#2 - No matter how much you love the person you are doing the diet with, unfortunately you can not share points with them. If you have extra, they can't have them. It doesn't work that way.

#3 - When you start calculating how many points toothpaste is and other non-food fluids, you may be taking it too far.

What I learned from my first day of exercise; A Bykrams Hot Yoga 90 minute class

#1 - Find out before you arrive that is is HOT yoga.

#2 - Should not have laughed when they indicated that us newbies should only have one goal and that was to stay in the room for the entire 90 minutes. Really? That sounded easy. I was looking for the emergency exits 15 minutes in.

#3 - I was curious as to why they put the newbies as far away from the door as possible. Ah, see number 2.

#4 - Helpful hint; do not put body lotion on prior to a Hot Yoga Class.

#5 - I learned that I do not enjoy being hot.

#6 - I learned that no matter how much eucalyptus aromatherapy you pump into the room, when you have that much sweat in a room, you will smell it.

#7 - I am pretty sure Namaste means "Thank God the class is over"

#8 - I am really good at the Savasana pose, otherwise known as the corpse pose.

#9 - I learned if you faint during the Savasana pose no one will notice.

#10 - But if you do moan loudly during any other pose people will notice.

#11 - I am certain that much heat and sweat can not possibly be good for my pacemaker bionic equipment, better ask at the next cardiologist visit.

#12 - Staying in the room for 90 minutes was a brutal goal, but I accomplished that at least. I only knocked over a couple of skinny chicks in my rush for fresh cooler air.


So end of Day One - let's take stock: I am still standing, I am hungry, I have a blazing headache because my blood pressure is super high, I have showered twice so I am really clean. And wondering if I take an ambien and I end up sleep eating, do those points count?
