SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 16th
So, it's official, I will be a yoga puddle by tonight. A humble yoga puddle. Nothing like an advanced class to make you feel like a wimp. I really need to work on headstand and shoulderstand. I just starting doing them (because of 20 odd something years of neck issues) - so I can only stay for a few minutes :embarassed: -…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 15th
Glad you're enjoying Galveston, MM. Hopefully, CP is adjusting. Have a good anniversary/birthday/end of month of yoga V. Yesterday - 30 min walk - that was it. My knee feels better this morning. Scary, because I love to walk. I hope to make it out shopping today to get new shoes - as well as to the grocery store and clean…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 14th
So I'm thinking of taking today, somewhat, off. Just a little walk in the morning. I have a lot going on today, and I have 3 hours of yoga Fri, Sat, & Sun. Maybe my knee will feel better if I take it easy. Yesterday - too hot to ride to yoga (heat index of around 98) - but I did ride a little in the morning and get some…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 13th
So I was walking in my hiking boots on the treadmill yesterday. I hadn't worn the boots since last year. I get off the treadmill to get some water and discover most of both of the soles are flying apart. Little black pieces of rubber everywhere. :laugh: They were my favorites too. Today: bike to yoga and some walking. Plan…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 12th
Three is a lonely number, isn't it? Yeah, for last day of teaching! I'm sure my yoga teacher is just as excited - she teaches at UT. It's been a really hard semester for her (though no strike or anything). She's been sick quite a bit and was sick again yesterday. She might have a harder time than me at this workshop this…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 11th
It's still hot and sticky. Blah. I'm still going to make myself go for a bike ride though. If I don't go outside and get used to it now, I will have a much harder time doing so 2 months from now. I have yard work to do as well. We have a chance of rain later this week - yeah! Yoga is planned for today as well. I'm excited…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! Mother's Day
Happy Mom's Day? The three of us that checked in yesterday aren't moms, right? V comes the closest. I guess WL is off today - have fun! Summer just took me by surprise. I will now hibernate until October. Today - teach yoga and go for a walk? Call your mom boogaloo! Mary

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 9th
Up early to teach the three yoga classes. Hope my brain is ready for it. Did lots of walking yesterday. Couldn't jog though. My shoes were hurting my feet. I think it's time for another pair. I have about 5 pair of sneakers, but I like to rotate them - so I need one more to go into the rotation. Also need to get a dress…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! May 8th
So I thought of something a little weird for June's Adopt a shelter cat month. The pictures are on my profile (never did learn how to post them in the posts). You'll have to click on them to read the text. Give me your honest opinion. I don't want to go through with this (a lot of time and effort if we go out to the…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...May 3rd
It was kinda lonely here yesterday. Hope to see more people checking in today. Today is teaching yoga, walk or ride, and some yoga at home. Also doing the Buddha's birthday thing and going to the store, cooking, etc. I knew it was coming, but the heat has arrived. It's very sticky, though today and tomorrow will still be…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...May 2nd
What a fun day planned. Shopping, Greek for lunch, exercise, Eastern European for dinner - feel like I'm on vacation. The Eastern European place has veggie goulash, if you can believe that! I have to give credit to Yoga Journal for the workout - in a way. They had an article titled "10 songs, 10 poses" - I thought, wow,…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...May Day
Happy May Day everyone. We have a lot going on this weekend, but it's all fun stuff: Buddha's Birthday (I'm not a Buddhist, but they are vegetarians and it's fun), a friend's 40th b-day party, REI's sale. So someday, I would like a regular/weekly job teaching yoga - my own class. On my way out of Yoga for Happiness, I met…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...April 25
Up before dawn - that's is so wrong. I don't like to get up until the sun has had his cup of coffee. I'm teaching the three yoga classes this morning. Might go for a walk this afternoon with husband. Yesterday, I didn't make it to the gym or a video - my headache didn't go away enough for that type of exercise. Had fun at…
-
SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - April 23rd
The warm is here, the hot is coming. Yesterday I missed weights class because husband didn't want me to leave him at home. His migraines are pretty nasty. I got a walk in and taught yoga though. Today, heading to the gym? This morning, I have a drs appointment to see if I'm ready for headstand. I used to have daily…

Oral Contraceptives Impair Muscle Gains In Young Women
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/146583.php Many active young women use oral contraceptives (OC) yet its effect on their body composition and exercise performance has not been thoroughly studied. A team of researchers has now examined the effects of OC on female muscle mass, and found that oral contraceptive use…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...April 18th
Happy Saturday folks! Ok, Everyone - a question for you: How do you deal with stress? If you don't have an answer, time to come up with one. This can be how you deal with small stresses: being cut off in traffic or big stresses: money issues. Find something. I think the "eating reward" thing is stress related, but I could…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! April 14th
PSU - there are two veggies in this group - me and CP - if you ever want to dry the dark side for a little, let us know - it's easier than you might think. I'm going to Fort Worth again this week, so it will be hard to get in my 5 yogas, but I'm going to try. Next week, I'm scheduled to teach 5 classes, so it shouldn't be…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - Easter
Wasn't it just Christmas? Hope everyone has a wonderful day planned - with lots of family time, some eating, and a little exercise. Yesterday: walk/jog & yoga, Today: bike ride or walk & yoga - and lots of eating. Easter Boogaloo, Mary
-
SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - April 11th
I'm up first? We are meeting family for breakfast. As much as I love eating, it strikes me as odd that one would set the alarm to eat. I would rather sleep than eat, given the choice. Never got the yoga in yesterday, just walking. Today - yoga and walking again, though there may be a bike ride in there as well. Tomorrow,…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo - April 5th
Sunday morning slowness. Yesterday, I managed to get a 90 minute walk in as well as 60 minutes of yoga. I ended up teaching my FIL yoga rather than doing the video we brought. He is one of the tightest people I've ever taught - especially for being in reasonable fitness. I had dessert yesterday - it was placed in front of…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - April 3rd
I love coffee. Just thought I would share that. Yesterday, I didn't do the bike ride - 30 mph winds with 50 mph gust - and a dust advisory. With the way my head has felt, I thought it wise. Besides, I had enough wind last Saturday. Did do a walk/jog and a yoga class. Today, yep, another bike ride planned. I have some…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - March 28th
Wow it's early - and windy - and cold. The wind chill is 30 degrees. I don't care where you live, that's too cold to go for a 4 hour bike ride. The winds are going to pick up to about 20 mph around 9-10am, with gusts up to 35 mph. I think I'm going to see some people get knocked over today. I keep reminding myself that I…

Stronger, Better, Faster Challenge March 14
I like SBF 2: Reboot Boogaloo, but we can leave off the Boogaloo as well. Thursday I had to go to Fort Worth. My sister was in the hospital. She had a bad medication reaction and had a seizure in class. She's fine and back home (my parent's house) for Spring Break. I didn't get any exercise either Thursday or Friday. I'm…

Stronger, Better, Faster...March 9th
A beautiful new week ahead. Spring Break is next week, though I'm not sure this effects anyone on this challenge - but it's SXSW here, so that makes for a crazy town. It's also my week of yoga - yum. MM - I can't believe I didn't think of the pillow - I have about 4 different pillows that I use to keep myself from having…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . March 7th
My big day. Right now, we already have 16 mph winds and they are just going to increase. It's only 27 miles though. They are lining us up by guessimated average speed - so I'll be last :laugh: - maybe the other cyclist will block the wind? I was bummed because the ride I was planning for the end of April falls on the same…
-
Stronger, Better, Faster...March 2nd
Welcome to a new month. Hope all is going well. Sure is lonely here on the weekends. Yesterday, we went for almost a 2 hour bike ride. It was split up, but we got out of bed late and were late getting started. Today is going to be an easy day. I waiting to hear back from a friend (whose birthday is today), what my plans…

Stronger, Better, Faster Challenge...Feb 28
Good bye February. I will miss you - the no yard work and mild days. Yesterday, just got the bike ride in, never made it to the gym. Today is gym and yoga. Remember, weekends are extra time for extra exercise! Happy workouts y'all, Mary

Stronger, Better, Faster.......Feb 22nd
Loved Acroyoga. Can't wait to get the pictures off my phone. I only got pictures of one thing we did, but it was a fun class. I wasn't crazy about the Thai massage part. It didn't seem to fit - but apparently, it's part of the curriculum - which means I won't take the class without my husband. Also walked/jogged 3 miles.…
-
Stronger, Better, Faster.......Feb 21st
Still feeling lonely on the SBF. Today is Acroyoga. I hope it's fun. I might go for a bike ride as well. Only two weeks before the big ride! How did that happen? I have another ride in April - hopefully I'll train more for that one. Yesterday walk/jog - about 6 miles. That's it for me! Happy workouts y'all, Mary

Stronger, Better, Faster.......Feb 20th
It's feeling a little lonely on this post. Getting the crown was a bit rough yesterday. I did manage to make it to water aerobics, though. I love seeing how much I've changed in some ways. 2 years ago, I would have considered water aerobics a moderately difficult workout - now it feels like goofing off. Many years ago when…
