SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...April 29

mechanicmom

Good morning!
Don't think I am babysitting this morning...or they are just running late. The mom said she would call me last night and didn't so I don't know what to think. Not sure if she will ask me to sit again. Oh well. I will do it if they ask.
If I am not babysitting, then I will try to get a work out in this afternoon. Probably taebo because it's suppose to be raining. Alex has his last horse therapy session today. :sad: I am very sad about it. I am hoping we will get the grant so he can keep going. I was hoping I'd be able to babysit this boy three times a week to have the money to pay for it. If it's the Lord's will, He will provide for it. I know I am more upset about it than Alex. lol
I think I am losing inches and I have no idea how. My "fat" pants are longer and baggier in the crotch and longer around the ankles. I guess maybe it's from walking, even though I've only been walking a mile and a half most days. Gonna try to get iron pills today and see if that helps.
Any of you ever try Limu? The neighbor gave us a bottle for Alex but I didn't see a change in him or it made him worse. I thought about taking it myself.
Sorry. I'm chatty today.
Have a good day!'

sore -
sore arms - expected; sore butt - not expected.

Very hard yoga session yesterday. I decided what I don't like about this teacher. You are giving it your all, and she says, "try harder". It's discouraging. My regular teacher's class leaves me light and happy. I only have 3 more passes with this teacher - after that, I don't think I'll go back. I'm going to try her "Yoga for Happiness" class tomorrow and see if it's any happier. Also did a walk/jog at the gym. Felt good to work hard.

More of the same today but with a happy yoga class. I found a version of side crow that is attainable, so we are all trying that tonight.

Happy Yoga Boogaloo!

Hi pebbs. . .

Today is "let's try this" yoga at the gym. Today is officially halfway of my 30 days of just yoga. . .day 15.

My "niacin flush" experience was much more manageable today, so that's good. Also, I've been reading up on the role that genetics plays in high cholesterol/high blood sugar, so I'm a bit reassured that it's not my fault. Still, blergh. . .frustrated and want actual answers.

Positive thinking (anyways, mostly) boogaloo!

Take care.:flowerforyou:

Good morning, pebbles!

MM - I've never heard of Limu. Have fun at horse therapy with Alex - and I hope you get to keep going. A friend of mine just started taking her son, and he loves it.

WL - I did your intervals on the elliptical last night. Thanks - that was tough! :happy: I warmed up for 8 minutes, did 20 minutes of 10 seconds as fast as I could followed by 15 seconds recovery (although toward the end I took a few 20-second recovery periods), then I did about another 20 minutes of just regular elliptical. My heart rate was up around 170 for the intervals, and stayed relatively high for the rest of the workout.

Today's goals are:
log my food
elliptical
stretching (I keep forgetting to stretch afterwards)

Have fun at 'happy yoga', Mary! :laugh:

Hi Everyone!

MM -- sorry about the horse therapy but you are right to just let it go and believe it will come if meant to be.

Viv -- I'm glad to hear that A) you are working to not feel guilty about the hereditary aspects and that the "flush" wasn't so bad this time.

MWD -- Strange that we are all having "yogic" experiences this time around! I went to a Yoga Fusion class this morning (the same one I took last week that was SO hard) and I figured out what I didn't like as well. The teacher has a boot camp style where she yells "Go, go, go!!!!!" as if you are crawling on a beach with a machine gun in your hands, not just doing a twisting chair move. It's weird. And yet, there is an insanely hot guy in my class so I looove going. It's a real conundrum.

CP -- YES! I'm so glad you tried it. Crazy, right?? I never even thought of doing such short intervals but because the recovery is so short it keeps your heart rate up. My HRM is in the shop so I'm curious how many calories a 45 minute workout like that would actually burn.

Goals today:
~ Some sort of cardio, even if just a 30 minute walk
~ Drink LOTS of water
~ Review my diet and make sure I'm getting enough fiber
~ Eat before I go out tonight so I'm not tempted by the "beer & wings" happy hour

Ok, I can't wait to try this class. I think that "go, go, go" would crack me up. Om, go where?
