Make good choices

227, and happy about it. You may think, how? That is up from 220. Yes, but it is down from 230.

Started my serious running training on Sunday. I am ready for this challenge.

My friends decided that for the month of January, "we" should do yoga on Mondays and Fridays. We looked into studios and times and for them, sitters. The first week, 5 of us went to a candlelit session. I discovered I actually kinda like flow yoga, and the instructor's poses were not advanced (this does not mean they were easy). The first Friday we went to a different studio, a different instructor and tried warm yoga. The poses were much harder, we had to hold them for much longer, and I kinda hated it. The next Monday we went to the second place again, (free week for starters) and tried a new class. It was mostly meditation, which is fine, but not what I am interested in. We were down to three, by this point. Friday I had to work, and everyone else bailed. Some had legitimate excuses. It's funny to me that the two who were the most gung-ho, completely slacked. Today we went back to the first place, and I can honestly say I enjoyed the class. I would consider continuing this class. I like the instructor's choices, and I can see where, although I am able to complete the class, I could improve my flexibility and strength if I continued, using variations to go deeper (that's yoga for harder). My posture improves after every class, and I feel completely stretched out, in a good way. It was just my one, motivated friend and I, so I was disappointed for the others because they missed the class, and also I missed them, but glad that my roommate and I did go.

The week is off to a very good start.
