Yogi

The first time I ever tried yoga, I was around 15 or 16 years old. Madonna was talking about it in some interview and showing off her super fit arms. I remember going with my stepmother, Rikki, and being completely miserable.

The next time I went was a few years later when I was around 21. I went with a friend and fell in love. This was also the first time I tried hot hatha(hot yoga). The room was 101 degrees Fahrenheit. I could barely take  breathe, but the way the sweat seeped out of my body somehow rejuvenated me. I took part in a program where if you spent 10 bucks, your first 10 classes were free. I went and took full advantage of all 10 classes. Unfortunately, after the first 10 classes, the price jumped up to this insane amount that I just could not afford :(

Fast forward to now, I have a gym membership( that I need to cancel sooner than later since I recently bought an elliptical) and I also have a few pieces of equipment at home. I have slowly been making it absolutely impossible for me not to work out at least 4 to 5 times a week. I had been trying to kill off 50 or so pounds for the last year, and for some reason,the whole drink a bunch of beer and watch 20 hours of Hulu.com diet wasn't working :)

I don't think I'm going to stick with Yoga as my main workout,being that it's SO expensive, but I do think I'm going to incorporate it into my monthly routine. I'm finally starting to feel like a work in progress :D

Is it bad that this story about Europeans being overweight made me feel a little better? You often here stories about Americans and their gluttony, it's kind of relieving to hear it about another country for once.
