Body fat news



First, here's a photo of Tate, Walker, Kelsey and Sydney while we were shopping for Wendy's gift on Christmas Eve. Often all of them are wearing orange, but not that day. I promised a photo of Walker in my blog yesterday and this is my most recent one........Today is errand day - dentist this morning, invited to lunch with a new group - Greenwood Women's Forum - ..by the drugstore to pick up thyroid supplement... yoga class at Yogatorium tonight. Just a pretty ordinary Wednesday..... Had my first strength training session last evening with Jan. She's designed a good program that should make a big difference with a few months of dedication on my part. But I may have to switch to another day - two yoga classes followed by strength training left me with leg cramps most of the night.....As my grandmother used to say, "It's no sin getting old, but it sure is inconvenient." First time to try using one of the big balls - looks like enough fun to have one here to work with so I'll make a quick stop to pick up one while I'm in town...... By the way, my body fat number came up at 34% which shocked both me and Jan. The manager says that's not unusual - they get it often with teens who are skinny as rails - and have no muscle, which unfortunately is just what has happened to me. I think the term "skinny fat" is what she used. So, that's why I'm at the GYM! Yes, the yoga pays off big time as far as flexibility is concerned, but it is not building much muscle - not in my gentle flow yoga class. A Power Yoga class would be more likely to, but that's just not my style now.
