Exercise: biggest loser workout DVD (high intensity cardio, 35 minutes),taught 3 1/2 hours yoga.

NOTES:
My doctor, when he saw my weight today, was like "Are you trying to lose weight?" I told him I was and he said "That's good". That depressed me to no end. According to the BMI charts, for my height, I need to be 123 or less. So yes, I am still slightly overweight, but I wouldn't think I'm so overweight that a doctor should be like, concerned about it. Especially since I gained the stupid weight because of prednisone - not because I've been sitting on my ass eating lard all day. Oh well. The weight will come off, I just need to stay positive and hungry.
