completed w2 d2 yesterday... felt GREAT! I don't think the running will ever be 'easy' but knowing how good I feel about the accomplishment makes it easier to go do. heh, plus... I happened to be really mad about something that happened at work - boy was I able to take it out on the treadmill! :mad: I need to channel that…

Hi everyone! Started w1 d1 this morning doing the mid range pushups on my knees. Sherri

Hi everyone! Finished w2 d1 yesterday...felt good, although my speed wasn't up to what it had been last week...made sure to stretch afterwards. Legs are tender but not really sore.... Belly dance class tonight... Sherri

I'm in too! I completed level one "girly" pushups a month ago...time to see if I can do the medium range. Still girly style tho! No where near strong enough to do the real thing... Sherri

Good job everyone! Just finished w1 d3. Feels good, but I'm worried abut w2. :embarassed: I have no pain or soreness, but my legs are tender. I made sure to stretch well after the work out. I also try to walk at lunch time for about 20 min during the week, if the weather is bad then I do 10 min up and down 3 flights of…

Kurneckc, Thanks for the link! I'll have to try those and see what works... I also walk for 20 minutes at lunch time (in bad weather, I walk 3 flights of stairs for 10 minutes) and if time before hubby's bday dinner tonight, I'll get in a good treadmill walk too. I also have a recurring bellydance class on tuesday…

Good morning everyone! Happy to say that I did get w1 d2 accomplished yesterday! Yea me...:blushing: My legs are tender, but nothing painful. Probably a good soak in the tub is all I need - I've heard that an alkaseltzer bath helps with sore muscles, but I've not tried it yet. Anyone know if it helps? Sherri

Kurneckc, yea it is difficult to make it a priority. I had done well...telling hubby early this week that I would be going to the gym after work on m and w and would appreciate it if he would take dd shopping on w...he agreed, then she came to me complaining that she needs to get his bday present and can't do it with him…

Hi all! I'd like to join in too...:flowerforyou: This is my second attempt - the first time I made it to w2 d2... I did w1 d1 yesterday… felt really good – still feels good. I’m not a runner, never have been (usually trip over my feet just walking across a room! – Heh, call me Grace – for lack of…:laugh: ) This is my 2nd…

I've found that individually wrapped bite size candies help with portion control... I have one or two pieces of the following... Green & Black's Organic - Individually Wrapped Pieces of Bite Size Dark 70%, or Hersheys - 60% extra special dark chocolate and eat them really slowly, savoring all the flavor. A serving of G&B…

Rabbit, Sorry you weren't able to sign up for class, it can get pricey...definitely get the vids and work that belly...and hips, and thighs, and calves, and shoulders and arms... My veil work isn't graceful at all... it's quite comical, maybe one day... Sherri

Hi Everyone! How's it going? Anyone had classes yet? I went to my second class last night (last weeks was canceled :sad: )... it was a hoot! My arms are sore again today, but nothing like after the first class. I do need to practice during the week, just for what the instructor calls muscle memory... and so that I don't…

I love belly dance! I did it for a couple years and then had to stop because of scheduling issues :cry: I just recently signed back up...my first class was last week. It's for a veil type dance, so there is lots of arm work...my arms, upper back and shoulders were sore for 2 days afterward!! :blushing: You'll be hooked…

Sounds like plantars fascitis to me too... I've found the best stretch is to sit on a chair with your (bare) feet flat on the floor, then place a towel just at the tip of your toes - using your toes to stretch and then curl to grab the towel to drag it toward you (without using your leg muscles), repeat till you have…
