This morning I fought like a Warrior and Saluted the Sun, waved at my toes, crouched like a lion, stood like a tree and completed a half moon, and that my friends all happened between 5:45 am and 6:00 am.
Yoga, me and the Wii. I like the Yoga instructor, I've said that before, but, there's always a but, she made me feel all warm and fuzzy and like I had been hit by a 18 wheeler from behind all at the same time. Half moon position will MESS YOU UP, it stretches your muscles in your sides, it hurts. The Standing Knee position was the hardest one that I tried this morning. You start off by standing on your right foot and bring your left knee up level with your waist, grab it with your hands and pull it in towards you, 10 TIMES. That worked well I thought as I watched my red dot (represents my center of balance) jump all over the screen like an etch-a-sketch gone wild, I got ZERO points.
The most exciting exercise is in strength training.
Push ups.
Don't laugh.
I have the upper body strength of a wet noodle.
Instructor: Just mirror my movements, stay in the center of balance and push up with the 1st whistle and down with the 2nd whistle.
Me: No problem
I'm on my knees, hands evenly apart on the Wii board, waiting on the first whistle.
I push up on the first whistle, shaking like a scared little puppy all the way up, I'm sure my face is purple...
Instructor: Kaye, don't forget to breathe, and you are a little shaky, your upper body muscles need a lot of work, you should work out every day..
Me: Thanks. (I really did forget to breathe on my way up)
Instructor: You should be on your toes and it feels like you are on your knees
Me: What the heck, how does she know this?
Instructor: Oh, you've got to keep those shoulders square and don't let your stomach touch the floor.
All that happened on the first push up. You can only imagine what the other NINE were like.
Question: Should I start a different blog for all my weight/exercise whining? You may want me to after you read whats coming next...
Will Yoga help my big rear end?
The nice Yoga instructor says so. Does she know just how big my rear end is? If I do enough crouching tiger/warrior combos she promises that I will have amazing results in the upper thigh and bottom areas, IF I work with her every day. I'm not asking for a miracle, just would like to get rid of the two beach balls hanging around my backside. Today was one of those days that my rear end bothered me all day. Every time I took a step it taunted me "I'm here to stay Kaye, no matter what you do I'm not leaving" I could feel it jiggle with every step I took. I think I bumped into three or four people at one time. By the end of the day I was so irritated.
Want to know what else irritates me? I found this one blog that I thought was going to inspire me to keep going with the weight loss. I was looking forward to a juicy, heart breaking story of one overweight woman fighting her way to a thinner her... What I found was the struggles of a woman who was maybe 15 or 20 lbs overweight. I'm just gonna say it... SKINNY PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WHINE. Its just not right.
I'll get to walk at least 4 times this week outside...Thursday I'm taking the afternoon off so I can go to Souper Super at the Church. I'm excited.

OMG, you will not believe this. I come to leave a comment and my word verification is TUSHI! Now that's just freaky. I forget now what I was going to say. Oh yeah, I get to go souper, too! Can't hardly wait. And it's not THAT big. You could look like Aunt Fanny in Robots. Or it could be flat as a pancake like mine. If I was an island I would be named NO Ass atoll (at all). Get IT? HEh, heh, heh
I am laughing so hard I can't even think of a comment to leave for you. (And I am laughing with you I promise.)
Ok, I know I technically don't get to whine because everybody says I am skinny, but I am with Dianne - having no butt can present a problem too - I think mine is concave...I have to get my jeans so tight in the waist I have a muffin top, and if I get them to fit in the waist, they are so droopy in the butt they hang down...Ok - go ahead and tell me to shut up, but I'm just saying even those of us "skinny" ones have issues....
Okay...
Dianne: my word verification was spasms. I've had those after working with the Wii.
Sandy: I know you got my back girl!
Jenni: It's okay to whine about the no butt thing, just don't whine about needing to loose wieght. I like the "concave" description. You are too funny. Maybe its because you all try to eat Motorolla Razors for dinner.
The chick on the blog I was reading had before and after pictures and she looked the SAME. Seriously size 10 who wants to be a size 8, you don't have a problem with your wieght.
I am laughing so hard I don't even know where to start. No...don't do another blog. I say keep it all here. I need "real" motivation like yours. I want to Lose a minimum of 50 lbs. Then another 20.... Hate those skinny minnies. And I can't believe you got up early! Good job!
Keep it all here and keep it real!
When my kids were little I used to knock them over with my butt. They have learned to give my and my arse plenty of room.
I so feel your irritation with the bootay. And AMEN on skinny people need to shut up.
See, now that's why I don't have a Wii. I would barely be able to greet the sun, whatever it's called. It isn't so much the parts any more, but the sum of the parts - total wimp.
