fat content? 3/19/05

According to the board at the gym, they are doing fat content test every Wednesday in some gym. They charge $5. For this month, I don't think I will get to it, but wonder if they do the same for April. Now that my weight is slightly down, maybe fat content comes down, too? Maybe???

10P 3/18/05

I came home and changed to jeans (I am getting sick of wearing Sears approved clothes.) and went food shopping. Then I realized they are falling off on me. I tried on classic fit for 10 Petit and they felt great. I looked at the pair I was wearing and they were 14P. So again this week, I spent $30 in clothes. Grrr.

operation how do I look continued 3/17/05

It has been over a week since my friend Diana bought me some spring clothes and advised me to get my hair shorter. Yesterday I finally got to do that. I took about 6 inches off the longer back, but for two days (in class and at Sears), nobody ever commented! The weather is still, still too cold for the spring shirts here. The school was closed this Monday and Tuesday for snow! The pants Diana bought me actually feel pretty loose. In a couple of months, I may have to do more uniform shopping...

back 3/16/05

For some reason, I noticed that I had a backache this morning. I couldn't put my socks on without sitting down. Today was supposed to be legs and abs, but I skipped some ab exercises and did a lot of back stretch. The pain was deep in the back, but I went through various back exercises. Then I noticed I haven't done twists a lot. And of course, skipping yoga classes makes me forget about balance poses. My back feels normal now and I can place the whole hands to the floor when I forward bend.

no yoga for a while 3/14/05

Although it doesn't help a lot for weight loss, I still consider yoga to be my number one sport. However I am a basic morning person, who suffers from teaching night classes. Sears likes to use me earlier during the day and that means 6am tomorrow and 8am Thursday for 10-hour shift. This semester, I haven't been able to make it to Will's yoga class a lot. I was determined to make it tonight, then the snow got really bad and even the school was closed. I do stretch after weight training and I use a lot of yoga postures, but there is something different about being in Will's yoga class. I haven't even done Suzanne's DVD. Ahhhh.

"new" clothes part II 3/13/05

I know I have been always sloppy, but I had left the bags of "new" clothes in the dog's room open since Christmas time. Those bags were left with us by a neighbor. She said she didn't want to have them and if I don't want to keep them, donate or sell them. I almost donated them, but most clothes are medium for women. On Friday after work, I put on a pair of jeans that I bought in January and they felt loose. I went through the clothes I wore last spring (and some time before that), most of them from QVC, XL, and they were way too baggy. I decided at least I need a pair of jeans. I did an actual new clothes shopping using Sears associate card on Saturday, but my "new" clothes were also good. They were a lot of cotton shirts. I really need hundreds of dollars if I want my the choices I had in my wardrobe, but for now, this has to suffice.
