Possible Yoga Strategy

My mom and I went to a yoga class yesterday.  She had paid for a few classes and had one more class to go; I decided to go with her.

Now I know from the past I've had a harder time with yoga.  I know I can't just go and do yoga or else I risk going low.  So without really knowing what to do, I left my basal alone and did 75% of my bolus with dinner.

...and that seemed to work just fine!

Now there may be a few problems with this strategy.  For one thing, we got to the class a bit late and only did one hour out of the hour and a half it was supposed to be.  (We thought the class started at 6:30 but it actually started at 6).  For another (and this may have to do with the lateness of our arrival), I didn't really feel like I had done anything.  We did a few poses and whatnot then did the final relaxation thing.  So it's possible that 75% bolus at supper may not be good enough for a heavier class.  But it gives me a starting point from which to tweak.

My mom and I are going to be just doing an exercise video a week in the near future though (not a yoga class).  So I'll have to see how things go with that.  Hopefully this strategy will work fine and I'll be good to go!
