Stronger, Better, Faster.......Feb 19th
Urgh - getting a crown today - which means most my day is shot. A friend wants to go to water aerobics boot camp tonight. That should be interesting. I hate the smell of the water at my gym. I think they use something other than Chlorine. Yesterday, yoga was canceled, so we did 30 minutes at home. Also rode my bike…

Stronger, Better, Faster.......Feb 18th
Wow, I'm first today? Ok, I weighed in yesterday morning. I have a new plan. For the month of March, I will not eat a single dessert. I will also not add any type of sugar into anything - including my coffee (gasp!). I will not eat cow cheese (it's higher in fat and more available that goat cheese - I was going to give up…

Stronger, Better, Faster....Feb 2nd
A new month and time to train for my bike ride. I have only 4 weekends to get ready for this thing - not all the weekends will have nice weather either - so I better get my butt in gear. I'm still sore from Saturday's class. Just a little. Yesterday, I went for a walk. Today, I have a yoga class in the morning and one in…

Stronger, Better, Faster....Feb 1st
Time, it does fly. Got a good butt kicking yesterday in boot camp. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I liked it. It was more like cardio weights. I also went for an hour bike ride. I thought I wasn't going to make it at first, but I eventually got into the groove. I might just walk today. I'm sore from yesterday, and I…

Stronger Better Faster...Jan 25th
Hope everyone is having a great weekend - even if you're not posting! Today, I'm up to teach yoga. We are catching a movie this afternoon,and I need to go to the store, so I need to do most my exercise this morning. Yesterday, I lowered my jog speed to 5.5 and managed to do 5 minutes straight of jogging. It was amazing how…

Stronger, Better, Faster...Jan 21st
Hope you have a great workout planned for today! Moving dirt was difficult yesterday, and it took less than an hour, so it didn't count. I did do 3 miles of walk/jog and some elliptical. Today, more moving dirt, this time at my parent's house. I'm teaching yoga this morning, so no yoga tonight (unless not enough people…

Stronger, Better, Faster...Jan 20th
Today, my dad and I are getting some compost - yeah! My yard will be happy. I guess I'm going to have to break down and water as well. We haven't seen rain for two weeks and none is forecast. Sigh. Nice and warm though. I might have picked up a bunch of yoga teaching jobs for Feb & March - about 2x a week for a month. I…

Stronger, Better, Faster...Jan 18th
So does your week begin on end on Sunday? Mine ends on Sunday. I tend not to work as hard on the weekends, so I felt that I was always catching up when I started with Sat or Sun. Now, I just glide though weekends. Yesterday, I went for a 45 min bike ride and a 40 minute walk. Today, we are going to try to do a 2 hour ride…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . Jan 15th
Little rant here - is yoga sexy or something? I just saw a banner ad for a "dating" site that had a woman doing bow pose. Also, there's a billboard near Dallas for a place called "Sara's Secret" or something like that, that shows a construction guy spying in on a woman doing downward dog. It's a really creepy ad. V - very…

Stronger Better Faster...Jan 11th
Best of luck to you Bobbie - hope you find a job you enjoy. Yesterday, I did 40 minutes on the cybex, 20 minutes on elliptical, and took a yoga class. Wasn't that impressed with the yoga class. Why is it they are almost always "softly lit"? I can understand that for restorative yoga, but I don't go to yoga class to feel…

Stronger Better Faster...Jan 10th
Happy Saturday! I hope everyone has a great workout planned for the day. Yesterday, I biked to the store and walked 4 miles. Today, I'm off to husband's gym - yeah cybex! I'm off to South Texas tomorrow, but I'll be back Monday - hopefully in time for yoga. Mary

SBF...Jan 3rd
I'm the first one up again? Very unusual. Yesterday, we rode to the store and I did a 2 mile walk. Might be more of the same today, although, I'm trying to talk husband into going to the "lost pines" place I was talking about the other day. It's going to be 80 degrees today, so it should be a perfect time to check out the…

SBF...Jan 2nd
Hope everyone had a great start to the new year. Don't worry if you post late, I always go back and read them the next day. Yesterday, I went on an hour bike ride and 30 min walk. Today - maybe more bike riding? We have two really nice days today and tomorrow, before it gets cold again. I'm also going to rake my leaves…

Stronger, better, faster in the New Year
Howdy all and Happy New Year! Yesterday, I went to the gym and did elliptical and walk/jog. Today will have to be something at home as the gym is closed. Maybe a bike ride and a short walk. It's nice and sunny today, so I should take advantage of that. I keep waiting for it to get cold for more than a few days. Hasn't…

SBF Challenge...Dec 28th
Sure is lonely on the SBF challenge. Yesterday I did 40 minutes on the cybex and a 35 minute walk - plus lots of errands. Today, more of the same - hopefully with 30 minutes of yoga. Hope all is ok mm. Mary

SBF Challenge...Dec 27th
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I had a decent amount of exercise both the 24th and 25th - though the battery died in my pedometer :grumble: - so I could only measure the 25th by time. Yesterday, was only a 30 minute walk - so I guess I took a day off. Husband and I have a weekend pass to a gym that we have to use…

Stronger, Better, Faster Challenge - Dec 21st
So you guys were talking about Christmas decorations. Mine is, I change my two porch lights to red and green lights - and I didn't do it this year. Couldn't change two lightbulbs. Yesterday, I walked and did some elliptical - I didn't have time for a bike ride - everything was in 30 minute segments. Today - whatever I can…

Stronger, Better, Faster Challenge - Dec 20th
5 days until Christmas. Wow. The year will be over in less than two weeks (and a bunch of people will join the site). If I make it through the next 4 days without leaving my brain somewhere, I'll amaze myself. So, I'm up early to gift wrap. Store opens at 9am. Luckily it's not one of those crazy stores that open at 6am.…

Stronger, Better, Faster challenge - Dec 19th
I'm awake first! I couldn't sleep this morning (it rarely happens), so I just got out of bed. Yesterday, I went for a walk in the park and saw the city holiday lights. They don't come on officially until 7pm, so it wasn't in full splendor, but it was nice. Because of the gift wrap fundraiser, I rarely get to do anything…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . December 14th
Hope everyone is keeping up the exercise. I'm off to Fort Worth for the day. I'm going to get a walk in before I leave - or maybe a trip to the gym. Yesterday, I went for a bike ride and a little walk. Got all the shopping done as well. Happy workouts y'all, Mary

S.B.F. Challenge. . . December 13th
Morning y'all. Carrie - I read your post about perogies - I just made some yesterday, and I'm freezing them for Christmas dinner. I had two yesterday - to "test" them. Other than spending four hours cooking, I went to the gym and did elliptical and walk/jog yesterday. Today, maybe more of the same, maybe a bike ride as…

S.B.F. Challenge...Nov 24th
I'm in an hour, but I wanted to start the post. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I will do my best to get my walk in today and tomorrow. Yesterday I got a lot of exercise in with: elliptical, walk/jog, plus two other walks during the day - so having today off is probably a good idea. Happy workouts y'all. Mary

S.B.F. Challenge...Nov 23rd
Today is my last day of this challenge. I leave tomorrow morning and probably won't get a workout in. Yikes! The most I can get is walking up and down the platform in Fort Worth and Dallas (where we stop for 10-20 minutes). Yesterday I had a nice workout on the elliptical. Today is walking and hopefully some yoga. Oh,…

Stronger, Better, Faster, final week...Nov 20th
The last push until Thanksgiving. Though if you are under the weather, don't push too hard.:flowerforyou: CP - I'm traveling by Amtrak. The distinction is important. As much as I love train travel, Amtrak is notoriously late, so it's in a category all to itself. Although, my last trip to Montreal, Amtrak was on time and…

SBF...Nov 19
One more week. I leave on Monday and won't be back for the start of the next challenge. Should we change the name? I can't think today, but maybe if we all have a week to mull over it. I'm off to freeze my tookis in Detroit and London, Ont. I do have a very warm winter coat (that I'm allergic to :laugh: - it's made of…

Hope everyone is staying warm and mudless this morning. Cute cake, MM. I'm up early to teach yoga. I don't know what else is in store, maybe a bike ride. Happy workouts! Mary

Everyone asleep today? I got up early and went to spin class and now, I just got back from a walk. Cool front came through, so it feels like November now. Happy workouts! Mary

SBF Fitness Challenge, Nov 13
I feel like I have a lot going on, though most of it is fun. Tonight - SPCA dinner, tomorrow - James Bond movie, Sat - out with friends & another movie, Sun - teach yoga & long bike ride, Mon - teach yoga & meeting with dietician. And, of course, some work, some house stuff, some volunteer stuff as well. I never ceased to…

SBF Fitness Challenge, Nov 12
Two more weeks in this challenge! I can't even remember if I had any specific goals, but I feel all is going well. I've been exceeding in the "don't take car for an errand" category. Yesterday I did lots of elliptical and my push ups - though I didn't move on to the next day - day 1, week 2. Today is biking, yoga, and…

SBF Fitness Challenge, Nov 9
I'm up first to go teach yoga. We biked 90 minutes yesterday. We are going out again today. We have a chance of rain this week, yeah! (sorry CP), so we need to get our biking in as much as possible while it's nice. Also doing push ups today. I liked the microwave story, even if it was a little gruesome. Happy workouts! Mary
