    Question for those that do yoga

    If it's power yoga, I consider that a workout. If it's more gentle yoga or stretching-focused, I do that on what would be my rest day. Cathy :) "I always loved running...You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights...

    sleep

    In that case, Kariev, if this were me and I was finding myself in situations where I absolutely could not function the next day, I would take the Tylenol PM when needed. Talk to your doc if you are uncomfortable with that idea. Perhaps s/he has other recommendations. While it's true I *avoid*...

    *lol* I'll be 95 by the time I figure out what I would want. Don't send me down that road of indecision again. Besides, I am probably too much of a wuss. *lol* "I always loved running...You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking...

    sleep

    OMG, Wendy, that describes my pattern almost to a T, except that I don't have a baby, of course. I need at least 7 hours of sleep a night to function decently the next day, and while I used to be able to sleep like the dead, I noticed my sleeping patterns went out of whack around the time I...

    CHEETAHS ~Happy almost 4th of July~Tuesday

    Wendy :: I think I could afford to up my weights on PLB also. I should probably keep a record, too, like with the X. I think I saw a thread about Excel spreadsheets somewhere. Will have to go hunt that one down. Sunny :: let us know how the boxing workout is. Very intriguing name. *lol*...

    I love the idea of treating them to massages or to individual spa certificates so they can choose the service(s). Cathy :)

    Mornin’, ladies! Yesterday I did Kundalini Yoga: Ultimate Stretch with Ana Brett and Ravi Singh. Hated it. **said in my best Men in Film (from In Living Color) impersonation.** *LOL* But, uh yeah, kundalini is NOT for me. Today it was PLB followed by a 40 minute run. I was beat at the...

    CHEETAHS ~Happy almost 4th of July~Tuesday

    Marcia, I seem to recall you saying that you are faithfully journaling, so the only thing I can think of is maybe you are miscalculating your portions. Or, another possibility may be that if you are working out that hard, you may not be eating enough to fuel your body. Did you ever try...

    CHEETAHS ~Happy almost 4th of July~Tuesday

    OK, PLB done followed by a 40 minute run. I kept conservative with the weights since this is a new order for me to do weights first. Glad for it since I felt really fatigued on the last hill. Let me respond to personals here while I gulp a glass of milk & enjoy the post-workout high...

    Introduction

    Hi AutismMom~ Welcome! You asked us to share a little bit about ourselves: I started working out again in Jan. '06 after a hiatus of several years. Unfortunately, during that sedentary, high-stress period of my life, I packed on about 50 lbs. I've lost 30 lbs. since then through hard workouts...
