I'm talking to a friend of mine after Yoga class and I notice this older Man standing by a building eyeballing me. I'm like, what's so interesting about me?
Anywho I get done talking with my friend and start walking home, when the Man calls out to me.
"Hey, how was the Yogaing?"
I stop and look at him hesitantly and think, did he say Yoga-ing? "It was good."
Now he's in, so he goes for it, "So I have a question for you?"
"Um, okay."
"Do Yoga make you skinny?"
OH NO, I think, not this question! I hate this question, it's always more complicated then yes or no. So I make a few "Uh, hmmm, um... well..." noises and then finally start rambling. "Well, not necessarily, I mean it is, er, can be a like cardio cause you can sweat a lot, but it's like not the best way to lose weight, and I mean if you really want to lose weight you should like, um, eat better and do like cardio at the gym."
After that, he looks at me confused, and then says, "But I always see Skinny People coming out of there." There being the yoga studio.
And I respond, "Yeah, well, okay, see, if you do Yoga a lot then you might want to get in shape so you can get better at it. It makes it easier."
The man smiles, he got his answer through my roundabout babbling. "Okay, thank you, thank you."
And I'm like, "Cool, well have a great day."
"You too, my friend." And then I walk off...
And I think, dammit, why couldn't I have just said, Yes Yoga makes you skinny, and then I'm like, well Yoga didn't really make me skinny, but it eventually worked it's little way into my head and then helped me, but I mean if I hadn't stopped eating crap or decided stupidly to train for a marathon, or gotten really sick a few times, that I may not have lost some of that weight. See, it's complicated... Okay, enough babbling.
Happy Saturday!
