I went to a new yoga class last night that emphasized relaxation. I must say that I am now able to lift my big caboose into the air and put my feet over my head which is nice. The relaxation part was okay. They gave us a lavendar scented satchel to put over our eyes. My body is suprisingly sore today which is unusual but I think I did a lot of lower back work. On the weight loss front I am at about 13 lbs down from my high. Still have about 30 left to go until I am at what I consider a healthy weight. I really have a lot of muscle in my upper body for a woman from Judo and weight lifting so I am not paying much attention to the weight/height BMI. I am going by the old Army standards for body fat percentage.

When I got out of Army training I weighed about 134 and this by BMI standards would be considered overweight since I am only scraping 5'1". I was complete muscle then and my body fat was really low so BMI can lie. I am not shooting for 134 by the way. my goal is about 20 lbs more than that. I think I deserve a little extra body fat since I am not in the Army.

So Judo on Saturday. I am alone since Erik has to work. We will see how I do amidst the sweaty men and boys. I found a woman who does karate and competes against men and she is the mother of one of the boys in the class and she said wrestling is disgusting. I could never do that. So...I think my hopes of finding a woman who wants to work with me are slim.
