@VJ - glad to see you are back on your game today, great workout. I hope things are going okay with the family.
Kim- i have heard about the "hot" yoga, maybe I should find it in my area, I would love some relief from my aches and pains!!

Hope everybody has a great week!!

NHGirl...I don't know if it's exactly relaxing...your heart is pounding and your sweating...but, your not jumping around either...I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

last week i finished with 328 minutes/2003 calories burned not too shabby

this week so far:
monday: 3.25 mile walk 50/204
tuesday: 4.5 mile walk 75/277

total so far: 125 minutes/481 calories
to go: 235 minutes/2019 calories

i am fighting injuries right now so i am keeping it to light exercise this week...no running til at least friday at this point it totally bums me out, but i would rather take a break now than have to take an extended one later...i think my fabulous race on saturday put me over the edge and i have a 7k run on monday that i really want to be able to run hard so walking and lighter exercise it is for now
kim i think i am going to go find a yoga dvd after school tonight...not as fancy as your hot class, but i am encouraged that it will help...i feel like i will need someone with a video camera taping me for america's funniest home videos...i am so not coordinated or flexible

The hot yoga was intense and time consuming. I bought a Groupon for that one. 4 more classes before I reconsider actually buying a punch card. I do feel nice and limber today. Some of the poses were really good for releasing the joints and such to promote healing.

Just be careful which one you pick...Gaiam, I think is the leader in yoga DVDs...I have tried them before

I'd be careful of the celebrity ones, like Jillian or some of they others...I'm not saying there are bad; but, it needs to be done properly to avoid injury

Happy Friday everyone! I see you all are still rocking it!! Well I am on hiatius this week. Today was the 1st day I did anything with HRM on. I am shooting for going to gym tonight but that is looking doubtful right now. This is the 1st week and a long time that I have not made it to the gym at least once and 5 days no movement. So I am feeling better today and feeling good too.

Have a good weekend!! I will be back in gear next week!

i had a really un-motivated week this week i decided not to run to try to help my foot heal and then promptly fell off the wagon with both eating and exercising and the scale reflects my lack of motivation!!!! ugh up at or above 130 consistently for the first time in a year!!!! not good for morale...BUT i will not let it get me down...i went for a run today and even though it was rough going, it felt good to run again...i am determined to lose the lbs that have crept back on

Total Calories Burned - 1171

I will be able to get something for Sunday. The family is having a kickball game - that should be fun. I get to show family that I can actually run - YEAHHHH for me!!!

A side note - I burned so many calories today because I ran more than walked. I used today as a punishment for my granddaughter. She got in trouble and was suspended from school - the last week of school. I took her to the park with me and made her run - she hates to run. We did 4.15 miles. She thought she was dying!!! I will torture her a few more times for my pure enjoyment. I bet the next time she thinks about clowning at school, she'll remember our run!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hope everyone is doing great!

Thanks Kim and Aablacknell!

@VJ150 - Keep up the good work on running!! Funny story about your grand daughter......:-) Some do hate moving like we did when were kids. With the new age of technology, many kids would rather sit in front of video screens, computers, etc than move their bodies.
