Great job pushing yourself Pam!!! Do you know how many other people would have just went back to bed. Not you Mrs.!! Off you went on an outdoor jog!

I just posted an update on my heath. I am celebrating good news today!! :bigsmile: I have so much to give thanks for. Being that I have good news, I can up my workouts. I still don't know what is causing the left arm weakness and pain so I will be careful there, but I can definitely do better than I have been doing!! I ordered a new dvd from Blogilates and that should be coming in the mail any day now. I will either do that or try a early morning or weekend spin class that I haven't done before.

I'm also going to do better on my eating. I really have done poorly on that during this last week. There was so much on my mind with all of this health testing going on. No excuses... I will do better. Thanks for all the cheers and support pals!

Way to stay motivated, Pam! I'm not sure if I would have done my workout if my trainer slept in. :-) I started running in June and while I don't necessarily love it while I'm doing it, I love how it makes me feel and I noticed changes in the shape of my body after I started.

I went to an introductory yoga class at the Y yesterday, definitely outside of my comfort zone. I liked the class and am planning on going to a regular class on Saturday. I think it will be hard at first but after a few weeks I'm hoping to feel like it's part of my regular routine.

I am doing well with this week exercising and food choices. I forget to drink water before every meal but I am drinking at least 8 glasses a day. Keep going ladies...

I haven't tried this yet, but I will because it looks really tasty!
