I'm envious. I absolutely detest exercise of all kinds. I don't mind a purpose. I'd walk to the store for a reason, but just walking around in circles in my neighborhood is so pointless and boring--and the treadmill is even worse. I have such a hard time staying motivated, because I also absolutely hate the way exercise makes me feel. I've always been the type to prefer to read about it than actually *do it. ;-) Even now when it comes to exercising I buy more books and magazines about it as though just reading them would make me fit and thin. hehe (I think I'm hoping to find the motivation, but it doesn't work.)
We had a couple of women in this class who were skinny and pretty flexible and who didn't keep it to their mat. I'd caught a couple of glances and giggles at me and overheard at least one comment about too fat for yoga.
:-( How rude.
There are walking and running paths just up the street and I've used them nearly every day. I seem to cover about a three mile area. I can hear the birds sing and the water burble and smell the freshest air I've been around in a good long while.
I like using my body. I missed this part of me. It's good to have it back.

It sounds happy. :-)
