07/13 - Yoga Mind & Body = 50 minutes

Yankee: Oh, I'm glad you weren't bothered by my post and are feeling better. I was worried about that!

Your gym sounds wonderful - is this the same place that has the Pilates studio? Btw, regarding tv sets distracting folks from their workouts - I've read that people get a more effective workout if they concentrate on the body parts they're exercising, i.e. by focusing one's attention on one's core muscles while doing abs & back training, those muscles actually work more/better. So there's really a mind-body connection in Western exercise practices too, we just usually don't pay attention to it.
Congrats on your progress so far!

P.S. I'm really trying to rein in my off-the-leash comments in this thread and stay a little more focused myself. But...this isn't a vent, more like a sigh...I did one of my favorite yoga tapes today because this would've been my kitty Casper's 19th birthday and I'm feeling quite blue over missing her still.

7/13: 40 minutes walking

Good for you for all your progress this year, Yankee! I'm glad you're past the shock and feeling better now. Our gym has a TV by the treadmills, mirrors everywhere else.

(((Calamity))), I miss my kitty Boots, too. He was nearly 19 when he died two years ago in June.

7/13 -- 60 minutes (Super Step class)

Yes, my gym is wonderful -- it's a very "athletic" gym, very small, but very serious. Some of the most "quality" workouts I've ever had in my life I've had here. Excellent instructors/trainers. The Pilates studio is part of the gym --it's upstairs. Here's a link to the website for my gym, of which I'm proud to be a member. You can turn the sound off (sort of annoying). Maureen (the owner) is the person I had did the class with alone the other day. My regular trainer, who is awesome, is Debbie. You can see what the gym looks like by clicking "tour." It's NOT fancy, but it's my special place. www.sweatcostudios.com

By the way, I almost always post here the second I get in the door, still dripping with sweat!!

Hey all! I'm in town briefly. Helped my sis and her family with their move. They bought the most beautiful new house and today was the big move-in day. Anyway, I wanted to report my hours while I had a chance to get online cuz I'm leaving again Friday and most of tomorrow will be spent helping sis get unpacked.

July 7- 100 minutes- treadmill; 15 minutes- weights, total- 115 minutes

July 9- run/walk- 120 minutes

July 11- run/walk- 75 minutes; Pilates- 55 minutes; total- 130 minutes

July 12- walk- 75 minutes

I can now run a mile without stopping!!! On July 11, I decided to see how far I could go and I ran just over a mile before having to start walk/run intervals! YAY!

The last two days have been so busy. Haven't done anything. Hope to hit the trail sometime tomorrow evening!

7/14 -- 60 minutes (weights, stretching with trainer)

7/15 -- 60 minutes (Int Pilates class)

CONGRATULATIONS HERMIONE! I used to run track in high school and hated it back then (too much pressure), so as an adult I have refused to run as part of an internal protest, I think LOL. I'm thinking about starting up again.

I'm off to Vegas for the TVCH meet until Monday. I'm bringing my workout clothes, but not sure how much workout time I'll get in... but I'm going to try!

I have not had any energy the last few days. Really wanted to run last night, but I was at my sister's new house and we ate a very late dinner. By the time I left, it was getting dark and the dinner was just sitting in my stomach like a rock and I knew if I tried to run, I would throw up! So I just walked until it was too dark to see the trail.

7/15- walk- 30 minutes

Today, today, I swear I will run today.... Oh, and since the second half of my travel plans have been put on hold until August, I'll get last week's chart done sometime this weekend.

7/15: 80 minutes, walk/bike, abs, stretches, weights, resistance

Welcome home, Hermi. I'm so impressed with your running! ITA it's best to not run if it will cause vomiting.

I've had a busy, nutty week and didn't get anything done I had planned to, but managed to get my workouts in. They've really become that much a part of my normal routine.

I had another doctor appt, he's firm about me not being on any machines, so I bought a pilates ball to switch it up.

Last night I made it a mile and a quarter! I'm not really doing intervals anymore. Now I am focusing on getting just a little further each time I run. I'm so thrilled with my progress! When I first started, it was so hard and it didn't feel like I would ever be able to string enough run times together to make it far and here I am already over a mile! Thanks, everyone, for your encouragement. Remember my summer goal is three miles. I'm going to do it! I can feel it! YAY!

Secretsmile, I hear so many good things about Pilates. As for me, it is just about the only thing that makes me sore anymore so I know I am using muscles I don't often use when I do it. I'm trying to get it into my workout at least twice a week.

Thanks, Mak! It is good to be home.

I'm chatty today. Calamity, I am sorry about your cat. I love my cats so much and I know how much you must miss Casper. You too, Mak, for Boots.

I just got 2 more kittens. Please do not ask me how many cats I have now! My BIL told me I have moved up from being amateur crazy cat lady to novice crazy cat lady! I wonder how many I have to get to make it to professional status?!?

Yankee, I love hearing about your gym. It reminds me of my favorite gym ever which was in Newport News, VA. It was a little women's gym and there was such great camaraderie there. I'm sorry you got so frustrated about the scale. As someone who always weighs in more than I look like I weigh (I've had many nurses tell me that!) I know it is hard not to let the numbers get to you especially in this appearance-driven Western society we live in. I have to remind myself how much better I FEEL even if the number on the scale isn't what it is "supposed to be" in my little head. And I can see a difference in the mirror and in my clothes and I like what they are telling me even if I don't like what the scale says!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
