Ugh, this is my first post with MFP's new formatting system. So far, it's seems wonky. I was injured almost three weeks ago, and just stayed still and logged all my food. Proving I can't out-exercise a bad diet.
I'm on my third weightloss drug from my healthcare provider, Zepbound, this is the first one that seems to be working. I have enthusiasm to log and lose. I'm going to make a grand return to a local yoga studio when I get that long term goal and break the 200 lbs. barrier.

Curiosity @chris_in_cal why wait until a goal for the yoga studio? Will that not help you towards your goal (additional movement and stress management) rather than being something to work towards as a reward?

@tinkerbellang83 Hello,
Fundamentally yours is a great question, an option for me is to just start today. Go.
For me yoga has been a very dear and big part of my life. My thinking is split into two parts. One is an allegiance and commitment to a yoga studio and a teacher and cultivating that consistency and relationship as part of my regular routine. It has been great, and is a commitment. The second part is I have years of experience and understanding, and a belief that "real yogis" have an evolved and consistent home practice. I am always gnawed at by the thought "why not stand up, go roll out your mat, and practice." I've beat myself up for not doing that from the jump after my first ever yoga class.
I see the "teacher/studio" route as a warm, loving, rewarding, successful, expensive, time consuming crutch. The "home practice" is the cold, lone, ascetic, monastic, zen place, that I don't maintain for longer than a week or a month. Do both? Sure, that happens sometimes.
So why wait? Last year I was going to a studio and had shoulder surgery and stopped and have never returned. I want to return and once again be a consistent yoga class participant. Since I left I have had a few surgeries, a collision injury, life stress, personal stress, work stress, I wrote that "200 lbs" goal as kind of a nice carrot-motivation thing to keep me on the progress I've been making so far this year. A reward. I imagine getting to 200 lbs, and returning to being a student at the studio will feel great and rewarding. And going to a class at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow would be rewarding in a different way.
Lastly I've had regular practices at 250 lbs and I've had regular practices at 150 lbs. There is just some rewarding, great feeling things that are available with less bulk. That sensation has always been a part of my motivation to get to a more healthy weight. "Getting the clasp" as they say in class. Some people are straining to get the clasp in a pose, and others do get the clasps and then melt into the pose. With that, thanks again for the thought provoking question.
