Hello everyone,

I have been lurking more than posting lately. Things are busy around here.
Congrats to those who have lost this week, those who are frustrated - hang
in there! To those who are departing on well-deserved vacations, have a
great time!

I leave in a few days for a major volleyball tournament out-of-town (referee
not player). Ways I plan to be OP while on my trip are to bring packets of
instant oatmeal, protein shakes (vanilla ones that mix well with diet coke),
a large bag of apples and grapefruit, and some microwave popcorn. I won't
have a fridge or micro but might have access to a micro somewhere at the
hotel. The arena won't allow outside food and I won't eat concession crap
hence the shakes which are easily smuggled. I'll also be doing some "fine
dining" while there but I'll make reasonable choices and limit portions.

I'll have my pedometer and plan to do lots of walking like I usually do when
I travel. I'm also packing my yoga mat to work on some routines for my new
NSV. The gym I use has morning yoga classes but no evening ones. I've been
telling the new owner for a while now that there should be an evening one
for people who have to work during the day. Today I was at the morning
class and afterward he pulled me aside and asked if I would be interested in
teaching an evening yoga class starting this fall!

For most of my life I could never really picture being active let alone
athletic. The last 3 years of no longer being over 300 lbs. has helped me
become the athlete I wanted to be. This is just the jewel in that crown,
that someone actually would consider having me lead a physical activity like
yoga.

I don't know if I'll even be lurking while gone so if you don't hear from
me, have a wonderful week and 4th of July holiday.

So that's why you call yourself the valleyballchick!!!

Your not in SC are you. Every Yogi I have ever met with seems to think
that I can practice in the way others do. Oh they might modify it
some, but I always come away feeling less than....

Congrats and happy U.S. birthday.

Yep. I played on a team from Sept-Mar for the last few years and have
recently been drafted to referee. I'm still not 100% sure which I'll be
doing this winter. I like to play, but only with teams that don't take
themselves seriously. I do enjoy refereeing and am doing it all summer long
plus during the school season in the fall.

Nope. I will not consider myself a Yogi no matter what. I've been putting
together some basic beginner routines as I plan to gear the class toward the
beginner. I am hoping that I can convey to my students the individuality of
the yoga practice. It's not a competition and no one should compare
themselves to anyone else in the class. I actually found a few interesting
yoga books at a discount bookstore this week so I'm hoping to glean some
ideas from those too.

If you are seriously interested in doing yoga, there are some books out
there that cover yoga for men, older people, and yoga for larger people (not
saying you're either of the last two just that I've seen those variations).
