    Trying To Fit Yoga In for Monday Dec 31

    Good morning :-) Thanks for all the suggestions Lora! I am going to copy and paste it to a word document so I can refer back to it. I didn't do the classical stretch this morning but I watched it. I do like her...I liked it when she was doing a side to side stretch and she said it was like...

    Watcha Doin' tonight???

    Sleeping. I'm an early riser and just can't manage to stay up that late. Aren't I exciting? LOL

    Lora, I just checked out Classical Stretch and I found out it will be on my PBS station at 5:30 tomorrow morning so I think I'm going to try that!

    Trying To Fit Yoga in For Sunday Dec 30

    I've heard on the forum that Eion Finn's Power Yoga for Happiness is really good and I've seen Classical Stretch mentioned but not really read anything more about it. I want my January rotation to focus primarily on power yoga, with a little bit of Tae Bo band work and a short step workout...

    What are your Favorite Fitness Finds of 2007?

    1. My first big fitness find was the Cathe forums. I lurked for quite a while before becoming a member or posting anything and I have learned so much about so many different things while here. 2. The joy of step workouts. It is so much fun! I'm still on LIS and haven't moved beyond it...

    All natural skin care products?

    I really love Ole Henriksen's products (www.olehenriksen.com). They're kind of pricey, especially since I've got a rather strict budget, but I do save up for his products as they make my skin look really nice, and I've got combination skin/rosacea. Unfortunately, there are no sample sizes to...

    Nintendo Wii - Wii Sport!!!

    My daughter got one for Christmas from her grandparents and we have all played it! It is so much fun...even my parents (not the ones that gave it to her) played it with her...they did bowling and golf. I really enjoy the bowling and especially the boxing! Oh, I forgot...my right arm was...

    Trying To Fit Yoga in For Sunday Dec 30

    Good morning :-) It's a rest day for me (Sundays always are). I posted the videos I've done on yesterday's thread and so far, from what I've done, I think my favorite instructor is Rodney Yee...his voice is so calm and he isn't 'chatty'. I think the reason I don't like the chattiness is...

    Trying to Fit Yoga in for Sat Dec 29

    Thanks for the welcome! I'm 33, married (for 11 years), and have an 8 year old daughter. I live in Colorado, am a student (went back to school after 10 years off), and will graduate in May with a degree in Environmental Earth Science with a minor in geology (thus 'geo'jill). I did my Power...

    Trying to Fit Yoga in for Sat Dec 29

    Hi there! I hope you don't mind if I join your thread. Lately I have really been wanting to add more yoga into my routine. I am planning on doing Rodney Yee's Power Yoga Total Body a little bit later today.

    Is ANYONE staying on track....

    No, but you know what? I'm going to take a cue from you, Nancy, and do the mental imagery! I think that is absolutely fantastic...I always feel better physically when I eat what's good for me and tend to feel like crap when I eat what's not...yet I still make poor choices more often than I...

    Whining...venting...fussing...

    Reese, I feel that way with sugar, too. I can do just fine but if I eat a little of it, I end up wanting a lot. So I generally try to eat less sugar so that I crave it less. I also find that when I increase my protein a little, I have less sugar cravings. Unfortunately I have not been...

    The primary reason I work out at home rather than the gym because....

    Can I vote for more than one? It's easier, more convenient, I get more variety, and I tend to get a better workout at home than at the gym. Besides, it helps me to have someone to 'follow along', at least with videos. I also have an elliptical machine at home. Oh, and I like being able to...

    So, when do YOU de-Christmas?

    Karla, I could tie with you...we were done by lunch yesterday and took the tree to the recycle location after lunch. We didn't get the tree up until about two weeks before Christmas, but that is more than enough for me. We don't have a ton of room and I am always so ready to reclaim my living...

    The greatest Christmas ever!!!!!!!

    Jerry, that is such wonderful news! I hear you on the intangible gifts this year...for the first time in 6 years we got to have a big family Christmas. My younger brother got home from his second tour in Iraq safely and he officially became a civilian again Dec. 14. It was so great to have...

    Calorie Counting/Nutrition Websites

    I do like fitday.com, it's a really good site. Another free place is sparkpeople.com. It has more features than fitday, it's also free, and has menu plans and workout plans. I prefer fitday, though, because sparkpeople just has more than I need for where I'm at in my fitness journey.

    Whining...venting...fussing...

    I ate much more (and WAY more sugar) than normal for the last week due to various Christmas celebrations but you know what? The treats that I ate I only get to eat once a year when my SIL or my mom makes them at Christmas time. Like others have said, just move on. Get in a great workout and...

    Holiday traveling

    YIKES!! A friend of DH's is flying out of Chicago today and they are supposed to meet up tonight for dinner. I heard on the news earlier that there was a one hour delay on flights in Chicago, so I hope they get here without too much of a headache or delay!
