There was something that I got addicted to back in Canada, that my love interest Miranda showed me and I became vastly interested in. I was absolutely horrible at it, giving everyone such a bad show that I had to sit down, humiliated and distraught. It may seem like everyone to me, but in reality, I know it was only Miranda that saw my crushing failure. I am talking about Dance Dance Revolution and it’s a game that I have been highly interested in getting back into for quite some time. Now, keep in mind that I know for a fact that I can’t afford to play DDR right now, given the fact that I don’t have any money for a Playstation, DDR game nor television set. However, I am dedicated to learning how to play DDR with the best of them because the music is awesome, I need to lose weight and it looks really fun. So, after the surgery, once I heal up and am ready to spend a little bit of money - I plan to go out and get a DDR system so I start practicing because the machines in arcades are pretty pricey and plus, they cost a lot more if you intend to practice daily. It is fun, it is tiring and it will ultimately help make me into a thinner, better woman - at least I hope ;-P. Continue reading ‘I Wanna Play DDR!’

Today, at 9am this morning, I took my first class of Bikram yoga at the studio in Westminster, Colorado. And I can honestly say that it was vastly interesting. I completely forgot to bring a mat and towel, but the people there were kind enough to lend me one for my first class. (Mental note of things to bring: mat and towel.) I also barely had enough water to keep me well hydrated during class. I walked into the classroom and I have to say that although it wasn’t terribly, excruciatingly hot (compared to what I got used to in Texas) it was something to contend with when you are doing major and horribly invasive exercises when you were basically just a computer nerd with absolutely no adeptness at Physical Education or sports in general. Shit, even walking around Sloan’s Lake once had me winded, tired and panting for energy. But I thought that this would definitely help me out with my weight loss so I was not about to be discouraged now. Continue reading ‘Back from my first class of Bikram Yoga’
Now, as you know - I am a transsexual whose biggest ambitions in life are to transition and become a writer and a professor at a University. However, there is all the flotsam about self-esteem and appearance that really bothers me. And right now, the one thing I can do to improve my self-esteem and appearance is to lose weight. Since I weigh about 200 lbs and have a ‘beer belly’, this is something that needs to be improved. So, I am planning to start attending Bikram yoga courses and I have contacted the Bikram yoga college in Westminster. So far, it seems like the best deal in the Denver/Boulder corridor ($50 a month for the first month, $50 for the second month if you can make 25 courses in the first 30 days that you paid for and $130 thereafter).
