But here goes. Yoga class was very challenging yesterday- we were doing Moon Salutations and damn were they hard! It was 5 rounds of constant movement with one breath in between each round. I left a pool of sweat. An actual pool of sweat on the floor of the studio. Eww.
Today, I went for a run/walk again. I downloaded MapMyWalk for my iPhone, and it turns out that not only did I go further than I thought- 2 miles total, but that my speed running (which I was convinced was slower than my walk) isn't. And in fact, while slow, isn't as awful as I thought it would be.
So I'm been moving a lot. Things are feeling good, if a little shaken up. But it's good. And I'm not having as many negative body thoughts as I usually do.
I have to say though, I'm still timid when I'm out running and see other people- either roving gangs of teens or just individual people. I had when folks comment when I'm outside and working out, and they sadly do. Even the grown-ups. I wish that Michelle Obama would think a bit about how fat kids are bullied as she embarks both on the Obama Adminstration anti-bullying campaign and her campaign against childhood obesity. Let's Move is a great idea---but to mark it clearly against obesity? Give me a break. I'm willing to put money on the fact that I move a lot more than many of my non-obese friends.
