I am definitely over 50. I am overweight but trying to lose 20lbs. I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I also have trouble breathing and have had a bunch of tests for my heart and lungs which so far those are come back negative. But this has been a wake-up call that I need to eat better, quit drinking soda…

I got a Max5 for Christmas. I can tell Max and I are going to have a love/hate relationship. You did better than me. I burned 25 calories in 10 minutes, my first day.

Welcome Jean, the last couple of weeks my family has been dealing with a Mesothelioma diagnosis of my brother-in-law. It has been rough on everyone plus I am worried about my sister as well. She doesn't seem to be handling it well at all. Which is to be expected, but she is not eating or sleeping, just crying. I don't know…

Don't worry about it, it was a busy week for me as well with house guests. I did mine this morning.

Hope things can get back on track for me tomorrow. My last house guest left an hour ago. I am exhausted. Possibility of storms all day Saturday, so I better get out tomorrow. I did go for a nice long 4 mile walk with my sister-in-law yesterday. But it was so hot and humid, I almost felt like I was going to have a heat…

This is a hectic week for me with out of town guests arriving tomorrow and staying a few days. I will be back in the swing of things Friday. My hope is to go on a nice long bike ride, if the weather cooperates.

I have lost track what day this one is. I have been doing them every day even if I don't have much time to be on here. I will be glad when this hectic week is over. I stress out big time, under pressure, but I have noticed the yoga does help some. Friday everything should be back to normal for me.

We got like 3" of rain from it. My little pup hates thunder and lightning, so she was a wreck. I had a dog years ago that would hide in my shower during storms and cover his ears. He was a big 90lb golden retriever. I did yesterdays, I just wasn't on here yesterday, just long enough to keep my daily streak going. I will do…

@DevotedToDash, so glad you got away from husband #1. I used to live in Colorado around the foothills in Boulder and coyotes and mountain lions were and issue, especially after dusk. Although I did see coyotes in the daytime. I used to run around a local lake in the early mornings and always see them lurking. But since I…

Week 1 Day 2 - done I have been cleaning and trying to get ready for my company next week. I did manage to get the yoga done. It has been stormy here today, so a good day to stay inside. The next round of storms will be hit later this evening. Power better not go out, I want to watch that new show "Salvation" tonight.

@dlockhart1955, I also have a grandson who will turn 5 the end of the year. He is a character.

@DevotedToDASH, I don't like walking alone either. My husband has health issues and can't walk with me anymore. When I was a young child I saw my childhood school friend be killed by a dog on our way home from school. So to this day I am afraid of stray dogs. Why it didn't attack me to, I don't know. I did allow my kids to…

I am 62. Trying to lose a few pounds. I am active, I have started the C25k, I am in my 2nd week. I also bike ride, lift weights and do yoga. Today I did 21 miles on my bike. The older you get, the harder it is to stay fit.

I am here, I will do the chair, triangle and start with the sphinx pose and work my way to the seal. I can do it, I just don't want to hurt my back, so taking it slow.

@LesleyRoth, this round finished yesterday, not sure if there will be a 3rd round or not. @daneejela is the one that is hosting this and she hasn't said anything about continuing it. There was only 3 of us actively reporting in this round. I hope she does, it made do it. I do better with challenges, than left to myself.
