    How's everybody doing?! I ate terribly last night and today, but at least I'm working out!! I just ran about 4 miles and I did my situps yesterday and today! I'm struggling with the water thing, but I've managed to just barely make it everyday. Has anyone ever done Kinect Dance?! OMG It's sooo fun! My mom and I danced for like 2 hours yesterday!! It was awesome!

    just checking in!
    goal #1) this week i've been really good about stretching after working out. usually i just wipe off the elliptical and head straight for the lock room because i hate my butt sticking up in the air when i stretch. but i've found spots near the wall so i'm less self conscience and do my stretching. i try to do at least 10 minutes of stretching- legs and arms. it's really making a difference since my calves aren't so tight but does anyone have any suggestions on stretching out your back and the hamstrings without laying on the floor?
    goal #2) so far i've only got in 1 session of weight training this week but i'm planning on doing weights tonight and sunday so i'll make my weekly goal.

    how is everyone else doing?

    My old gym had these great stations for stretching your back - you can use them to stretch or do "back sit-ups". At home, we have an inversion thing that is similar except you end up even more upside down. Both are great for decompressing your spine, esp. after running, but I guess they both require you to sort of put your butt in the air...... Hammies you can stretch standing up, just stand a few feet away from the wall and lean forward.

    OK now I feel like I can post. I had actually gained a pound when I weighed in and I was upset. Two days later I weighed again and I was back to what I wanted my goal to be for the week. But it makes sense because I had some sodium the day before. I wont do that again. So for this week...

    weight goal 1.5 lbs (Get under 140)
    exercise goal burn 300 calories on one treadmill run lasting 30 minutes. (this is hard for me. i just started jogging on the treadmill
    try to get more sleep. I started teaching again and I have to be in school around 630.

    Personal goal this week - 8 glasses water/day
    Team goal: done!!

    @ rebecca what kind of inversion thing do you have? i think i might just invest in one.

    @ rebecca what kind of inversion thing do you have? i think i might just invest in one.

    My husband got it because he has chronic back issues and this helps a lot. We used to have these inversion boot things with a high bar you hang in a doorway, but that hurts your knees & ankles after a while and it's hard to swing yourself up. This is no strain on anything - I love to use it at the end of my workout or just before bed (if my back is hurting). It does take up some floor space, so have a place where it can go!
