Healthy, Wealthy & Wise

Went to my first Tai Chi class tonight with J. I don't think it's my cup of tea, but it was certainly interesting. I think my favorite part was when we did the hip warmups, moving our pelvises (pelvii?) around in a circle, first small, then big. Did I mention that I was the only girl in a room full of middle-aged men with names like Gus? Pretty sweet.

In other news, a yoga center is moving into my office building. Eggsalad! I heard they're going to have a locker room with showers and the whole bit, which is just completely kickass. I think they open in October. Also on the wellness front, I'm trying a new chiropractor tomorrow. I think maybe my current one isn't working so well, since I've been getting so many migraines.

Oh, and one more thing while we're on a health kick. I rejoined Weight Watchers last week. This sentence might sound familiar to you as I said it once before about a year ago. The thing is, somewhere round about 1999 I lost nearly 45 pounds. And it was, in the words of Bill & Ted, most excellent. And I've managed, in the 4 years since, to keep off around 30 of those pounds (give or take, depending on the time of year). Again, most excellent. But, my original goal was 63 pounds, and I kept meaning to go back and "finish." But, it's hard. It takes commitment and forethought and determination, which I possess in varying degrees at varying times. But I know I can do it because I did it once before. So, here I go again. The goal is 35.2 (which puts me in the proper range for my height). Wish me luck!

I'm off to drink 8 oz. of water and get a good night's sleep...
