And I'm riddiculsously sore (already...I shudder to think how sore I will be tomorrow). I have been incredibly stressed these last couple days, with being frustrated at work becuase I feel stupid and want to just know how to do the job already and learn the process instead of having to continuously ask questions) to feeling fat and ugly to worrying about the new house and renting out our current townhouse, to my lack of money this week. I'm just...stressed. And I can't seem to sleep...except on weekends and then I can sleep until 11 am in the morning.
When I get stressed my body gets really tense and my neck starts to hurt and my back gets all stiff and it's just no good. So I thought going to a yoga class would be good idea, good stretching, relaxing etc. I have been to a few classes last year on saturday mornings at the Rec Center and they were very low key, and focussed more on relaxation and stretching which was wonderful. The class tonight...was NOT that. AT ALL. It was almost power yoga. My god. First of all, fat people not so good at yoga. And I'm not exactly flexible as it is. I felt like a huge big fat whale. I do feel less back tension, but my neck still is having issues.
At least I made it out to the rec center. I've read a lot about how excecise can help you cope with stress, so I am determined to continue to make working out a habit so I don't have my semi-annual freak out anytime soon.
Arrrgh!

I know what you mean by the yoga. I was doing it once a week for quite a while but not the good, slow yoga lady has flown off to costa rica! I hate the other ones I've tried, it's like yoga on speed! I always feel like a big whale or seal next to the lithe, limber like pretzels bodies at yoga and the gigantic wall of mirrors! But, once in a while there is a beginner or someone closer to my size and the lady is so dang pleasant the good outweighs the bad.
Hope your stress eases soon, that sucks...
You are beautiful and I hate hearing that you feel otherwise :( I'm glad you went to yoga though and I hope it helps you to feel better.
How much do you want to rent out your townhouse for?! Email me, I might be interested.
