SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 14
Morning Pebbs :yawn: So, I'm up at the tiniest crack of dawn to sub for a colleague (so much for my last day of teaching being yesterday) her partner is in the hospital and I need both the money and the karma. . .so off I go to proctor more exams. Proctoring exams is the worst part of teaching, IMHO. . .the tension in the…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 10th
Today, I'm up early with the intention of trying a new 9:30 "heavy terrain" spin class at the gym. Judging from that description that means lots of hills. I like hills. (or, I do now. . .at 10:30 I might not) Then, I have a chiropractor appointment, and then I'll write. I haven't worked on my comps at all this week.…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 5
Just about to get dressed for the gym. It was supposed to be Bikram today, but I'm adapting due to my special lady time.:wink: Went way (I mean WAY) over on my calories yesterday. No "bad food" but I was starving, so I essentially ate two extra meals to the tune of 850 "extra" calories. Oops. Ah well, Elliptical Boogaloo!…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 29
Hi pebbs, Today, if all goes according to plan, I have a session with my trainer. And about a zillion phone calls to make and immigration forms to finish, and food to prepare, and the normal craziness. I'm up early, as I'm trying to work on my project first thing in the morning every morning, so that it's done every day.…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 28
Morning, pebbs! Just a quick one before I leave for my last church job of the season. I'm so glad of this, because the sanctuary is not air conditioned and I roast in my choir robe. It's like Bikram choir. Ugh. Then, it's a few errands, followed by Bikram at 4 today. Doing pretty well with the eating often. Interestingly,…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo. . .June 23rd
Morning, my pebbs, Today is supposed to be Bikram, but my knee still hurts. I'm debating right now if it's just tender (as in I can push through) or actually injured. This is often my dilemma. Since I have non-injury pain so often, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes. If I don't go to Bikram, I'll do elliptical and…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo. . .June 20th
Is anybody still out there? Everyone's on vacation or away. . .(well, not everyone but a lot of us) Just got back from spin class. I'm trying to become a morning exerciser. We'll see how long that lasts. . .:tongue: Did I mention that I have quit coffee? I will still have one from time to time, but don't have any in the…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo. . .June 19th
Blergh. Just weighed myself. Shouldn't have. Suffice to say that I am now aiming for the 140s as well. (150.4) I am coping with the fact that I may have gotten my weight too low for me to maintain healthfully at one point. So, the goals for today are: eat clean, stay within my calories go workout with my trainer stay…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 15th
Hi all, Today is teaching followed by a session with my trainer. And, eating my packed snacks (and taking time to eat them. . .I've been running really behind on getting my calories in during the day, and having to choose between cramming them in at night (bad) and not getting up to my goal (probably also bad). And, waters…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 13th
How is it that June is almost half over? Seriously, how? Today is a cardio day. I've been lax on my cardio (though I've managed to do my yoga sessions as planned) this week due to craziness, and rationalization that walking all over campus and fighting with people in twenty different offices is cardio. (it's probably not.)…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 10th
Starting the thread. . . Today it just looks like I'll get some walking in. I have to teach (probably? who knows anymore?) and then I have three appointments on campus. I really hope I can get a real schedule by the end of the day, and there aren't any more changes. I am a creature of planning, and frankly this is playing…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 7th
Morning. Today is a Bikram class at 4, and my standard walking all over the place because I don't have a car.:tongue: My allergies are kicking in . . .do sneezing fits count as cardio? Itchy eyes boogaloo. Take care.:flowerforyou:

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 31st
Here it is, friends, the last day of the current cycle. I completely changed my goals midway to trying to take care of my body, rather than just push it. Still hard, but I'm doing much better at this. I'm keeping with my current (new plan) for the next cycle (end point TBD :wink: ) Bikram 3x a week, Circuit Training (60…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 30th
Hi pebbs. . . Well, today is my scheduled day off, but I'll get some walking in, as my day off is always errand day and I don't have a car. I've been really wondering about my weight loss stall, and I've adjusted my calories (again) down. I ate at maintenance for about six months, so I'm hoping that some long-term calorie…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 7th
Hi pebbles, Today is a busy teaching/appointments/choir practice day with a light yoga practice mixed in. I did a new online yoga workout yesterday and discovered that "detoxifying" and "restorative" are definitely not the same thing. . .warrior three? It was pretty invigorating, so I ended with a meditation in savasana (I…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! Cinco de Mayo edicion!
Today I'm going to a noon Bikram class. (hooray! noon Bikram class) Which is good, because tonight is date night, and I'll need the extra calories. Went over by about 500 yesterday. I made the classic mistake of waiting too long to eat (a desperate student with questions eliminated my lunch break (I'd forgotten to pack…

wonder how much sugar is in that?
Here's a pretty cool website, that shows the sugar content of lots of things visually. (everything is broken down into sugar cubes) copy/paste: http://www.sugarstacks.com/beverages.htm There are drinks, treats and snacks.

May 4th? Yikes. I think I slept through April entirely. Today is a light yoga practice at home. I was in bed at 8pm and up at 3 am. What?:noway: I'm proctoring final exams this week, so I'm hoping all the yoga will turn me into a little beacon of peace for my terrified students. Woe to them. Here's to no cheating.…

Happy Rainy Tuesday, everyone. . . I'm off to the doc in just a few minutes, so just starting. Today is more yoga (are you surprised?) Wandering, the one I did was Yoga Journal's "Yoga Practice Show: Evening Sequence". It was all restorative poses, mostly done from the floor. Not a "workout" per se, but it certainly did…

Morning! MM, sorry to hear about Alex. Hope he's mending soon. Yesterday I had a bad, very bad Bikram class. I spent half of it sitting on my mat and crying. Dang. I was just really angry because I felt weak and everything hurt. I think I'm officially frustrated right now. I think I may have made the mistake of not…

Rain boogaloo! Wet weather here today. I wish I were a duck. Here's to a good week following all this washing of everything.:tongue: Today, the intention is a 6:15 yoga class at the gym (new teacher). I also have a long day of administering scale tests :yawn: . . .so my long day will seem even longer. Still longer if my…

Morning, pebbles. Bad day yesterday. Had what I discovered was a bad reaction to the tetanus booster I got at the Dr. on Friday. Talk about insult to injury. . .got really nauseous/headache-y and vomited all afternoon. I had a case of the unfairs, I'll tell you what. Apparently, about 2 in 10 adults get this reaction after…

Today, my goal is to do a short home yoga practice. I'm still sleeping nine hours a night, and a nap in the afternoon. . .so anything more than that doesn't seem prudent. Also, I need to call my Doc, but Easter Monday is a holiday Monday, so I might not get through to anyone in the office. Keep your fingers crossed that…

Lentil Brown Rice Casserole
This isn't the prettiest of things, but it is so thrifty. I also find it works as comfort food. 3 cups broth, chicken or vegetable (I use low-sodium) 3/4 cup brown lentils 1/2 cup brown rice chopped onion (about one half of a large one) garlic powder and Italian seasoning blend to taste (I sometimes just chop a clove of…
