Verda- the Yoga video I use is Bryan Kest's Power Yoga #1-Energize. It keeps you moving. You do some of the same moves, but it flows through them. I like it much better than other yoga's I have tried. I like a challenge, not all soft and cosmic crayon type stuff, and that is what this is like.
I am sorry to hear your knee is still bothering you!:frown: But good job at still doing something!!!I'm here Verda! I am not having a great week though. I am not running at all this week to try to get my knee better. :sad: :sad: :sad: It is still bothering me from several weeks ago. I am still doing my 30 shred and power yoga though.
When you say power Yoga, is that part of the 30 day shred workout or is it and individual workout? I am soooooo trying to like Yoga cuz I know all the stretching is awesome for me BUT my P90X Yoga is a friggin 90 minutes of repetetive moves! I dread this workout everytime and today is the day!
I am going to do some cardio because I just ate a couple of fresh chocolate chip cookies then I will do at LEAST 30 minutes of yoga x! I promise!!!!
I may check out Ebay for some yoga dvd's, have any suggestions ANYBODY!

Hey all- I'm here too... also been super busy at work. This week is going ok- started off bad but I've turned it around! :drinker: Not going to be my best check-in, but it won't be terrible, either! I'm in the market for some new ab/core exercises... anyone care to share? I know there are tons and tons out there and everyone has their favorites, but I'm just curious what you guys like or what you've found works.0

Verda, check out You Tube and On Demand if you have it on your TV- that way you can get a taste for different videos before you go out and buy them. That's what I did with the 30 Day Shred- I tried a day or so on You Tube, liked it, so I bought it Hope that helps :flowerforyou: 0 -
Hey all! Its now 11:17pm and I'm here! Was logging in my food for the day.
Looks like things may be easing up for me at work soon, so I'm looking forward to "relaxing" and truly immersing myself into some good training for my running. AND I found this running club in my neighborhood! Check this out! And they have been training for the 5k I'm about to do on Saturday, and they are also training for the 1/2 marathon that I'm registered for, its in April. And its a free club. Seems like a good chance for me to get EVEN MORE plugged in to running.
Here's a snip it from the website:
We're Running and Walking Club based in League City, Galveston County, Texas. Our goal is to provide a friendly, enjoyable environment where anyone from a beginner to a "pro", a runner to a run-walker to a walker, a 5k fun-runner to a ultra-marathoner can get together with fellow Texans and have a good run and/or walk.
Led by mentors who have a variety of experiences under their belts, GCRC offers scheduled sessions (Saturday mornings), unscheduled sessions (other days of the week), and target plans to help you get to your next finish line, whether it's a 5k in a couple of weeks or the Boston Marathon (or even if you don't have a target - we do have a finish line you'll cross each week!). If you've never done even a 5k, we'll help get you started on a journey that our members have grown to enjoy - no, grown to love - with a a supportive team of mentors and members that make our events enjoyable.
We welcome you to GCRC - where our goal is "Getting You to Your Next Finish Line!"

That's great Jessica! I really think it's a great idea to run with a club. I used to before we moved to Oregon, but I haven't found one here yet. I wouldn't run with them all of the time, but enough to make it thoroughly enjoyable!0 -
Thanks Nicolee, because I was wondering if its a good idea or not. I felt like it would be, so i can really challenge myself more. So thanks0

:drinker: Good morning! Im eating my oatmeal getting myself prep'd for my race, mentally and physically. I'll report back when I return which will be a few hours from now. Since this race also is having all kinds of festivities there celebrating mardi gras. Its also a kid friendly event so there's lots of other fun things going on like a parade and stuff for the kids.
Happy Saturday everyone!0 -
look like my finish time in my first 5k today was 38:40!0

Great Job Jessica!!! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :drinker:
I have ran 2- 5K's so far and I want to run enough to get shirts to make myself a quilt:bigsmile: , there is an 8K here in March that I was thinking about, I ran 5 miles the other day to make sure I could run that long:laugh: :laugh: , I have always stopped around 4 miles or so....I did do it, so it got me excited. Then there is a 5K in May that is close and a half marathon in November, I really enjoy running, sometimes I have to baby my knee, but it is getting better and I hope the more weight I drop, the easy it will be on this ole body. Since I have started yoga and once a week stretches it has really helped.
Just saying Hello, I'll post my stats tomorrow, I finally had a great week, with a 2 pound loss:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
I know Debra, I read when you ran the other day that was very impressive! The distance you went. Gave me encouragment that I can add more miles if I keep on training. So, how long or years have you been running?
I'll have to post my stats later tonight from the house, Im at my in laws and we are getting ready to go to Church.0 -
Starting weight Jan. 1st: 160.6
Last week's weight: 154.2
Current weight: 154.0 (down .2 lbs.- better than nothing! :laugh: )
I treated myself to a few bites of fresh baked bread last night (even though I'm supposed to be eating low gluten, and work up this morning all bloated. I was 153 yesterday, and had over 400 calories left over when I went to bed last night, so it doesn't make sense- must be the darn bread:grumble: )
Days at/under calories: 4
Running miles: 4.4
Days of other workouts: 3
(By the way, originally I was thinking my "other workouts" would be on non-running days, so that's how I've been reporting it. But, in order to hold myself more accountable, I'm going to start counting any workouts other than running in this category, which makes sense and is probably what I should have been doing in the first place:laugh: No one probably cares other than me, just thought I'd share!)
Fitness hours: 2.4 (Still pitiful, but my highest number so far this year! )
Oh, and Debra, your running story actually sounds a lot like mine. We're at about the same point. I did couch to 5k last summer and did my first 5k at the end of August. Since then, my longest run is about 5 miles, and I have a bunch of races planned once Spring comes- some 5k's, 10k's, a quarter marathon, a 20k, and then a half in October :noway: Winter has really killed my running, but I'm hoping I'll bounce back quickly when the weather gets warmer. :flowerforyou:0 -
Raymond, if you can read this, here is my week!!
Fitness = 100%
Under cals = 5 days
Protein at or above = 5 days
When I look back at the week it really was not as bad as i thought! I am not saying my food choices were always good to be in the calorie range! I want warmer temps and sunshine so I can run outside with FRESH air!

Jessica, I started running last year in April...and I couldn't even run for 1 minute, I was so ashamed of myself...my husband said, lets go...and we did a 2 mile country block for about a month, every other day or so....I thought I was going to die, but I was to stubborn to stop.... and then I signed us up for a 5K and about that time, I started to realize that I could do it...and that I also loved it.
But winter...is really getting to me too....I need to get outdoors and RUN!!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
