I think you would enjoy yoga. The classes are full of type A people engaging in type A behavior - an obsessive determination to de-stress (yes we can make yoga a type A activity.
Hi Everyone:
My goals are centered on my own personal Battle of The Bulge. I have given up on stay at home W GF being a workout buddy. She complains about stress and depression but is not in a place to do something that requires commitment and discipline.
I did bump into working GF. She is my age and is always sitting at work - and is battling an unexpected emergence of The Bulge too. She is doing reformer pilates, pilates, bikram yoga and running.
Working GF is also going through The Bloat phase where you gain weight before you start to lose it. We have both turned into camels and are retaining water. Her H tried to be "logical" and explain it was a normal part of aging - pity the poor man! I of course have no H to take out my Bulge related angst on... sigh...need to find a BF to make miserable when I gain weight. LOL!
Neither one of us are into drugs and surgery and could care less about wrinkles. But The Bulge - we are not going to age gracefully - we are determined to fight The Bulge. She also refuses to go up a size - so we are both in pain at times when our clothes cut into our mid-sections. I have given up sweat pants and am wearing clothes that are a size too small - as a constant reminder to stay away from ice-cream and to create an incentive to work out.
New goal - I am going to wear clothes with non-tie waistbands. I use to notice when I "expanded" when I use to work downtown. This time - the whole thing snuck up on me during the course or roughly 4-5 months of a no movement life!
Life is good - well not so much for The Bulge which will be facing gradual eradication.
