Anyone ready to ring in the new year...and lose weight/get fit?

[Kassaundra]

vfem, the new yoga routine I'm doing I actually do 3 of her 20-24 min routines a day (back to back) for 1 hr "ish" each day, anyway I try and pick a core first, then one that concentrates on either upper or lower body, then the last one balance, or breath (something relatively easy) anyway last night for my third I chose the new show "Flow vesion one" thinking it sounded nice and easy,

She meant vishnu (sp) flow thought she was going to kill me on already noodly legs and arms from the first two!!!!!!!

But I agree I will never do any other exersice I love everything about yoga, and at the end of the hour I am pouring sweat, all muscles noodly, but feel great, recharged, and energized. I am by nature a quiet person and love the calm intensity, no yelling and jumping.

I love it-this is how I feel about my cardio swimming classes, don't need any music just pay attention to the excercise and perfecting it till I am working the mucles intended and concentrating on my core the whole time. I lose everyone else in the pool and focus on myself because that's what I am there for ME! Maybe yoga would be a nice addition when I can't get to the pool.

Do you ladies have a suggestion on were to start with it, should I check into the gym or can I just obtain a CD on it first? I have that lovely saggy tummy I am working on but mainly needed to strenghen and my whole body! Also I am always fighting RA so that' s why I started swimming. But need more? Besides walking the dog every night!

If you do dvd I would suggest Adrianne Reed. I would like to do a class or group just to tweak my positions and make sure I am doing everything correct, but that is not an option for me in rural OK. Just start at your current level and work your way to more endurance and better balance and poses.

YES! 4 lbs down this week; SOOOO unlike me!!

I had been gaining and gaining and gaining...but today I weighed in at 128.2 which is a far cry from the 132.2 I weighed in last sunday! (yes; I only weigh 1 time a wk..same time/same day)...

Now, only 8.2 from goal!

Just posted my weight for the week, looks like everyone did good this week, awesome job everyone.

Today is going to be a huge garden planting day, got lots to plant, I've been working on it for a few days now, hopefully I'll at least get caught up today.

Oh! I forgot to post! I am down another 2 pounds.

now that I feel better, It is coming off at a nice pace without too much fuss over food.
I went to the neurologist today, and he gave me yet another diet to follow to avoid the headaches. Between gluten free, the food I KNOW I have reactions to, and the tyramine foods...

I get apples and water.
After I told him that he said the same thing my allergist did. 'Well, you have to eat. Just pay attention."

...or in other words, pizza is evil.

and i love it.

but I'd rater not be in pain

Glad everyone is doing well. It is as hot as the dickens down here. It looks like my face has sun burn, and I never left the barn. It is just baked human.
You all stay cool and do not over heat. Drink lots of water!

Congrats to all the losers!!!

Wait... that didn't come out right!

Anyways, I'm in another stall I think since I'm hiding from the heat, but I'm ok with that.... I'm still being healthy, and active!
