SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! week of Nov 9
Howdy y'all. Dessert happened way too many times last week. I will not eat it this week until at least Friday. I just got a sweaty yoga practice in yesterday. A friend was here from out of town, so I spent most of the day waiting for her call. We finally met around 8:30 - I didn't get to bed until after midnight. Today,…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! week of Nov 2
November? Hey, MM, over here :bigsmile: I'm so proud of my new picture, though it doesn't come through well in the avatar (eka pada koundinyasana - no good English name - I think WOW pose is appropriate :tongue: ) I'm also making progress in my headstand and shoulderstand. I working to get up to 10 minutes and 15 minutes…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! Week of Oct 5
Please insert inspiring words of your choice here. So we went from drought to deluge. Rain predicted for most of the week - muggy, if not raining. Next weekend looks absolutely perfect though. Still have a stuffy head/nose thing going on. I looked at the allergens and ragweed is still low, so who knows. I think I tested…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! Week of Sept 14th
So it's time for me to switch gears from yoga to biking. I have two yoga classes today, but I will throw a bike ride or two in as well. I'm trying to figure out how to fit everything in this week. Yesterday's class was easier than expected - again. There wasn't anything I couldn't do. Did two things I had not done before,…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! week of Aug 24
New week, new thread. I'm stressed about my cat. I'm not usually a stressed person; I need to work on not worrying, since it won't help. My mom says 95% of the stuff you worry about doesn't happen - so you could read this to worry or not to worry about it. :wink: No teaching this week, yeah! I'm going to yoga tonight and…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! Week of Aug 10th
Welcome to a new week! I did a circuit with at the gym yesterday - it's like a curves circuit. I'm convinced that yoga doesn't use the pecs much - they hurt every time I lift weights. I did the overhead press and tricep curl at the same level as my husband - lots of down dogs, I guess. Today, I'm teaching at 10, then…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! Aug 4th
Eye is all better, thanks. Today I have a morning bike ride and teaching yoga tonight. I was browsing the kick butt yoga teacher's web site and she's going to be gone until next Thurs, so I don't really need to worry about missing her class (or trying to do two in a row!) I'm starting to notice little projects that need to…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! Aug 3rd
Today is my last day to sub for my teacher - she comes back in today - very excited. I still have three more weeks of teaching 3x a week, but it will be good to have her back. I'm also walking today. I got something in my eye yesterday and might have scratched my cornea, so it made me useless last night and it's still all…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! Aug 1st
Though it will be lonely today, I'll post anyway. Hope y'all have great trips. Got the three yoga classes this morning - then we might have a quick trip to the gym this afternoon. Saw on the news that Austin only had 5 days that were below 100 degrees in July. Right now, it looks like it's more of the same through August.…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! July 30th
Happy Anniversary to us! Today - get everything done, so we can have a nice long weekend. Get cardio in, yoga, cleaning house, and some volunteer work. I weighed this morning, and I'm up three, so I'll need to be more careful. I'm sure it will come back off. I will still have dessert a couple of times this weekend. 15…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! July 29th
If I knew the secret to weight loss, believe me MM, I would share it. The only thing I do know is, don't give up - and try not to get frustrated. I haven't lost weight (other than the same weight) for over a year - but I haven't gained back the 18 lbs I lost the first 18 months either. This is success. I remember a time…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! July 25th
Good luck at your garage sale, MM! Won't be able to stop by this time - I hope you make lots of money. I'm doing the morning three classes then off to Dallas. We're staying in a hotel this time, so we'll have an exercise room, yeah! See you guys Monday evening. Short post, boogaloo! Mary

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 23rd
So, I couldn't do the pose. I just don't have the strength. I haven't decided about today's class. My back is still sore from all the twisting, but I don't think we would do the same sort of thing again. Decisions, decisions. I need to write up some classes for this weekend's set of three. I know I'm doing one balance…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 19th
Yesterday, I did the 3 hours yoga and 1 hour of cardio - and I'm not nearly as worn out as I was last weekend - but I didn't make my yoga classes as difficult. Today - bike ride to the store and maybe a trip to the gym. Saw Harry Potter last night. It was nice to see a mindless movie. I'm starting to plan my training for…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 12th
Go see "Food, Inc" - probably the most important movie in the past 5 years. I liked the farmer who said something like, "if these companies treat their animals like objects, how do you think they treat their workers?" It's really more than just a factory farm movie though. I did about 4.5 hours of exercise yesterday (3…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 11th
Early. Gotta do this for the next month on Saturdays for yoga. Never really understood those that like to get up early. Though, when it's in the 100s every day, I can see the appeal. Husband and I went to the gym last night. Did the cybex for 30 minutes - I need to up the intensity of cardio again, ugh. Also walked a bunch…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo July 9th
Today is husband's birthday, so dessert will be on the menu this tonight. I ate way too much of it over my holiday, I'll have two weeks before the anniversary weekend to remove all desserts. Today I'm joining a second gym. Yep, a second one. A chain called Planet Fitness. They just have machines and it's $10 a month, so…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo. . .June 20th
I left yesterday's Ashtanga class, went outside and thought, "sure feels nice out here." It was 90 degrees. There were 80 people in that classroom - it was a bit cozy. I don't think Ashtanga is for me - I don't like the slip and slide on the mat - but if someone really wanted to go, I wouldn't refuse. It's all good. Oh,…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 16th
Little quiet here yesterday. Today - plan is to ride the bike for a few errands before it gets too hot, do some home practice yoga, and finish the movie I'm watching on the treadmill. Our kitty isn't doing well, so we are taking him in a day early and I'll miss the yoga class tonight. Keep cool boogaloo! Mary

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 14th
Happy Flag Day. Not really sure what Flag Day is or what it celebrates. Got a good elliptical and yoga session in yesterday - did have chocolate with strawberries and raspberries for afternoon snack - it kept me full for a surprisingly long time. I went to a party where I didn't know anyone but the host - felt…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! June 11th
Heat index - 105 today - near 100 temps as far as the forecast can see. It's like living in V's Bikram class. I really appreciate AC. I'm jealous of MM's rain though. I'm up early today, so I might make it to spin class. Hopefully, it won't be one of the full ones (where people give you dirty looks for sitting on "their"…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...June 6
Early again. I need to take it easy in yoga today - my shoulder/arm is still bothering me. My sister (who is working on her becoming a DO doctor) practiced on me last night. I think she worked it out a bit, but it's pretty sore today. I also hope to get some cybex in today - as a change from the treadmill. Hope your…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...June 3
I have a very sore deltoid (I think that's the muscle, it extends from my bicep to the front of my chest, also up to my neck - which are the traps, right?) - on my left side, naturally - all my injuries on my left - elbow, neck, knee, and now deltoid. I wish I knew why I'm always hurting the same side - it's the weaker…

Welcome to the new challenge. If you would like to join us, please do so. This is a fitness challenge, though we have other goals that we set. We post everyday and share many things that are going on in our lives. SBF stands for Stronger, Better, Faster. I am taking the reins and deciding that the end date is August 31st -…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! ... May 27
We are back in the 90s this week, but it's almost June so I'll accept that. Didn't like yesterday's free yoga class. She put an eye-bag on me without asking and pressed on my shoulders in savasana. Did get lots of walking in though - and made it to the gym for walk/jog. Today - yoga and walking. We are going to try to take…

Happy Three Day weekend for those state side. So kitty is going in next week for another surgery. At lest we will be home for a while afterward. Do you guys ever feel a little "experienced" as far as the dieting goes? I hear someone going on a diet/detox/fast/whatever, and I think "oh, that was so yesterday." Then I tell…

Congrats again CP - brag away - I would. My Aunt has something she calls an "empowerment bracelet". It's a charm bracelet she started when she lost her husband (and had to do so many things that she didn't have to do before) - she had it for things like fixing the dishwasher, driving to downtown Detroit, etc. I really…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...May 20
Do we have an end date? Was it June 1st? I'm trying not to walk (as exercise), and it's hard! I just want to see if that is what is bugging my knee. Yesterday: 2, 40 min bike rides & 30 min slow walk. Today: I might walk to the gym, do elliptical, and bike to yoga later. I would rather just walk here. The cool mornings end…

Finally, some nice weather again. High of 77 degrees today - yeah. Too bad I'll be inside for most of it. Will be a nice day tomorrow as well, so I'll go for a bike ride. tomorrow, I will also sleep in Have fun on your mini-break V! Happy Birthday and Anniversary!:drinker: I assume you will have a final blog about your…
