    Whoops I hit send when I was trying to correct the spelling. Joan. Thanks for the info on the fitbit. I am going to order online then. Besides, by the time I get to best buy it will arrive. That's great about your weights getting so much better. Do you think it was the trainers input? Jann...

    Joan-- what do you mean by monitering my sleep? BTW I did see that Best Buy has them. Jann-- Burn Circuit? you mean STS? I like lifting as well but in the last few years it has caused more neck pains and shoulder pains than before. I have found that I am good about starting sts but then I...

    Thank you for keeping up with this thread!! I'm feeling somewhat disappointed in my efforts vs results so I am trying to get an attitude change and just jump back in! I think when I started going this pure barre challenge (trying to make 20 classes in 30 days) I just couldn't do the cardio and...

    pilates

    I have taken Pilates for several years and also trained to teach on the reformer. It does work Your body in completely different ways. pilatesanytime.com has online classes in mat and equipment that are great. They add new classes every few days and allow you access to the banked classes.

    Jann I was wondering the same thing! I know I am!!! My DH had knee surgery last week- then I got a whopper of cold/flu while with him at therapy. So I have been out for at least a week with no desire to jump back in yet. I have been taking nyquel to sleep and I an not believe how hard it is...

    Jann- I had a bad eating weekend too! It amazes me how fast I can put on the weight! Now I am back to the boring meals again! I am trying to run again, but am so heavy that it hurts! But, thats a good reason to do it. I usually start by walking and then do just a few sprints each time. Joan-...
