Okay, so I was doing the Downward Dog pose the other day and OH. MY. GOD! This was the first time in the history of me that I saw my knees from a whole new perspective. Up close and in m’ face. The pretty background yoga music blurred out and my concentration screeched like needle dragging across an old vinyl record.
“Holy shit”, I said as I stared straight ahead in disbelief. It appears that all the fat from my thighs may have melted, sunk and STOPPED right there above my knee. 
When did this happen? When did my knee skin start looking like a shar pei?
How long have I been walking around with fat pockets on my knees? Could it be from not exercising for 44 years? Really? Is this like a pouch….you know…like kangaroos have…or like squirrels have to store their nuts? Wouldn’t it be cool if I could keep a Twinkie in there? OR….the spare car key!
Oh no! What if Jimmy Hoffa is in there? Holy crap!

Okay, now since it’s Ferrrrr-i-day!
Here’s my Aloha Friday Question:
What do YOU do to stay fit?
I'm Sheila. In addition to raising 1 husband and 3 teens, I've founded 
I’d love to know what you do, because to me your knees look pretty good. I think you’re being too hard on yourself!! I’m thinking about joining my local YMCA and trying the classes. I think I’d love spinning.

Not to make you feel any worse but that knee fat is just due to gravity taking over…it’s bound to happen to all of us. I agree though you are being too hard on yourself. I have joined the YMCA. I am also going to see a dietician to help me balance my protein/carbs.
Great question! No answers here.
Exercise is part of my daily life. I work out at the gym and I walk. I do not want to put back on the weight I loss.

These days not much of anything. I so need to start working out again.
.-= Nina´s last blog ..CAKE DECORATING =-.
HILARIOUS! I share your pain. I take whatever class is available at my local YMCA. If I can’t make it to a class then I work out with the machines. Zumba is my favorite class. If you get a chance to, try it! It beats yoga. I love yoga but Zumba is really fun.

I just tighten my abs as I sit at my desk. Just kidding. I like to go walking with my girls. I push them in the double stroller. When I can, I hit the gym

It’s true! And those fat pockets push down on the new and create ever so slight of a wrinkle of ickiness!

Why did I put new? I meant push down on the knee, lol
Oh my, you are too funny! I think you have lovely knees, mine however are ugly, dry and hmmm ugly!
I exercise 2-4 times a week at an hour long Jazzercise class, I LOVE it because I love to eat. SO I exercise to eat

Sheila, your knees look fine. Truly! I gained weight so quickly during my pregnancy that I got stretch marks on my knees. Truly. Sadly, while I have lost weight in other spots, the knee fat has stayed. What. the. hell?

Seriously, everybody’s legs look like that in downward dog. Except those between the ages of 7 and 9.
