Taking Up Yoga

I am going to start yoga, does anyone have a yoga DVD that isn't too girly? I just don't want to be beat up if someone walks in on me.

This week I started lifting weights, going through a complete upper body workout Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (Ask my wife about the gun show, oh ya). My thinking is that weight training would help burn more calories over the long run, even though I may gain a little now due to the increased muscle mass. To finish the week I had some heavy cardio workouts on the bike and elliptical. Climbing on the scale I was elated to find out I had lost another 2.5 pounds this week.

On a side note...Twelve more workouts until I can wear mouse ears in public.

P.S. My work is starting a 8 week Biggest Loser contest with prizes. I am hoping that the grand prize is $250,000! My beautiful wife has agreed to join my alliance along with a guy from work who is doing Weight Watchers and is losing weight fast, we should stay on the ranch a long time.
