Gym Progress 9/19/19; Yoga 9/17
Down to 216 lbs...lowest I've been in over a year. I think the keto is really starting to work, and the intermittent fasting isn't hurting.

Notes on today
- I'm not impressed with my output today. This may be the downside of fasting
- Senza and Jefit have really helped me in tracking health improvement, see Additional Gym Comments - New Apps for more info on these apps.
9/17 Yoga
Sadly, I was right, my instructor was not hitting on me; just a friendly woman that enjoys teaching yoga and is happy to have new people stick it out.
I missed a week of this (this was third time) and it showed in class. Not that I mind rolling around like a fat walrus in front of everybody else LOL.
Even so, I do feel like I am improving my flexibility and balance. I was able to do the ...wait...gonna look this up...tree pose for more than ten seconds at a time, and some of the other movements were easier to get into last time.
I don't know which kind of yoga we are doing (hell, didn't know there were different kinds); I'll ask next class.
