The race to lose 10lbs has started!

This weekend was full of exercise exercise exercise!!!!! I went to the sat morning Hatha yoga class thinking what a great relaxing way to start my weekend. Boy was I in for a huge surprise. The girl who usually teaches the class was out of town so another girl was teaching it. She had bright red hair and tattoos (not your typical yogi in Gainesville) We start off slowly relaxing and then it begins! This girl was super crazy about some yoga! It started at 10:30 and went to noon, at 11:00 I was about ready to throw in the towel. As I'm in downward facing dog all I could think was "what in the hell did I get myself into this morning!" But I stuck with it and proved to myself I could survive the craziest yoga session known to man:) I'm sure it wasn't that bad but I just started yoga a month ago so it was a little advanced for me. But afterwards I felt great! I totally got my ass kicked and I loved it;) Then Sunday came along all to quickly. The soccer team has made it to the semi-finals, my alarm goes off at 8:15am, and I get on my way to my 9am game. I show up sort of chipper and ready to play. Again, I had no clue what I was about to get myself into. Now I'm feeling a little sore from my crazy yoga session the day before and as I'm thinking this one of the guys on the team comes walking up to me and says " I just want to prepare you for today's game, the girls are not going to have any subs" As soon as he says this my heart hits the ground and all I can mutter is Great! Being that its 9am one would think that its not that warm yet perhaps we have a chance. Well, it just so happened to be one of the hottest days of the year yesterday and it was around 90 at 9am. OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD! Not only did the girls not have any subs the guys did not either. This was going to be a long game. To my suprise (and everyone elses) 15min into the first half I score a goal! and we are up 1-0...70min later and very dehydrated our team one our semi-final game 4-0 and we are going to the finals!!!!!!!!!!! I could barely walk to the car I was so tired but very very happy that our team pulled off an incredible win:) It is now monday morning and I can't walk:) but my first week of the "lose 10lbs before Beth's wedding" was a success. Now another week of crazy yoga and soccer begins! Yay to exercise;)
