Thanks Billmacc, I feel the same. My nutritionist encouraged me to eat more and to compensate for the calories burned. I am fearful to do so. Thanks for responding, Mike
I don't compensate for calories burned by exercise. I feel it would be a way to justify eating too much. I look at exercise more to be healthy than to lose weight....just my 2cents

Question for all the athletes out there.
Currently I do not compensate for calories burned in a day, if I am supposed to eat 2000 calories a day ( total) to offset what I have burned with exercise, I do not.
What do you do?
I was a pre-op diabetic and happy to say I am off all medications, including insulin. Because I was a diabetic I have remained adament about not adding carbs to my diet. I know this is wrong. I need to hear it. I know I am working against myself, but need that kick in the butt. ( I just got one yesterday from my nutritionist as well)
any tips would be appreciated, what do you do to fuel.
Thanks, Mike
I currently weight 301lbs and I take a yogalates (yoga and pilates mix) on Mondays and pilates on Wednesdays. You can definitely do it sister! And like others have said, a good instructor will show you modifications!

It's North Carolina's last week of SCHOOL!!!! The teacher in me is about to head for the hills along with everyone else for summer :) But, that last week of school has awards programs, after school activities, etc. and it's gonna mess me up a bit but I will be active with my kids during the day as much as I possibly can be. Here we go:
Sunday: Weights/stairs/treadmill
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Awards Night after school (I don't think I'll get in anything today except my step goal)
Wednesday: Class kickball tournament and I'll workout at the gym after school (should train legs and do some stairs)
Thursday: Finale of the kickball tournament, last day of school for my students (lotta hugging and crying and sobbing and laughing...I teach 6th grade ha!), after school RPM class and hopefully some bench pressing beforehand
Friday: Teacher Clean My Freaking Room Up Day and Gym (RPM/weights probably will do back/biceps/throw in triceps and squat)
Saturday: Weights/Stairs/Treadmill

Yoga poses are extremely modifiable. Every pose can be modified, or another pose subbed in. As you develop your practice and get more comfortable with different poses, you'll be able to modify on your own.
I suggest going in to your first class and just doing your best. If there's anything you're uncomfortable with, talk to your instructor afterwards and they will be able to help you modify anything. Some poses can be trickier if you have loose skin/tummy/etc but it can all be worked around.
