Survived Day Two. Ate more points than I had. That darn Starbucks bacon gouda snuck on me, 10 points, really?
My thoughts went to how warped Females are about their body image. I was still trying to wrap my brain around the actual number on my weight as Forty bears down on me. I was thinking back to other milestones in my life.
When I graduated High School I weighed 118 pounds and thought my butt was big.
When I got Married I weighed about 130 and I remember wishing I could lose weight for my dress.
When I got pregnant with my daughter I weighed 140 and I remember worrying that I went into the pregnancy too heavy and that would be unhealthy for the baby.
Two years ago when my health really started to go south, I weighed 160-70 and I thought I was obese.
Even at 118 I didn't wear skimpy clothes. I remember thinking it was a big deal to wear a strapless prom dress. In my twenties I never was comfortable wearing a tank top because I thought my arms were fat.
What I would not give right now to have any of the above bodies back!
So here we are 60 pounds more than any of those days and on day two of Hot Yoga. Remember, don't wear tank tops. Well after about 5 minutes I had stripped down my shirt to a white sports bra. I figured, screw it, I will make everyone else feel good about themselves. Except then I obsessed over that I needed to shave my pits. So that was distracting.
So what did I learn about Hot Yoga on Day Two:
#1 - Men should be made to stay to one side of the room and not spread out all over the place so I have no choice but to look at your sweaty hairy back, put on a shirt.
#2 - If you spill water in front of my mat, wipe it up, because I will stare at it the whole time and be reminded of the puppy puddles at my house.
#3 - I still don't enjoy being hot.
#4 - Exhaling the F word out loud on accident when you realize the class is not even half over when you thought you were almost done, is not appreciated.
#5 - People will be freaked out by you if you ask them if they know cpr before you lay your mat next to them.
#6 - The poses on the floor would be way easier if I was flat chested.
the classes should NOT be co-ed. Not that I have ever tried hot yoga, but seriously? ick!
