Trying to Fit Yoga in for Saturday April 21

[lorajc]

Morning Yogini's -

Getting ready to leave for the airport shortly.....Vegas bound.
Hope you all have great workouts while I'm gone. I'll be back next week towards the end of the week. No workout today........didn't have time.

I really wanted to do a half hour of Kundalini this morning but I got up 18 minutes late and it didn't fit in my morning. I did manage to do a Classical Stretch segment last night. I'm quite enjoying the series. Have either of you ever seen them? Miranda is from Canada. I heard about them over at VideoFitness when they were talking about how good they were for the spine, back and neck........so of course, I had to get the 2007 series.

Jen - Of course, I ordered Xflowsion! I hope it's here waiting for me when I get home. Have fun at your CPR class -- I always hated those also. When I worked for doctor's I had to take them.

Yve - hope all is well with you.

Talk to you ladies when I get back on Thursday.

Hi Ladies,

Happy Saturday to you. I am having a cup of coffee and will be going downstairs to do Rhythmic Step. Then - maybe yogatopia.

Lora - hope you have a great trip and a safe flight.....I hope you show the video blackjack machine who is boss!!!

Jen - I wanted to mention to you that I bought this little ovulation predictor machine. It looks like a wristwatch - I had read some reviews about it on the internet - and so I bought it. Desperate measures - I know. Which program are you using on the net?
Re the issues you had been having with DH - I can see how that would put some strain in the relationship. SO and I have had some of those issues also - and in my mind I wondered if they could also be age related. It is a difficult subject to broach - as SO gets quite sensitive about it. For as suitable as we are on an emotional level - there are areas where our age difference causes strain due to the differing expectations. For example - Though we have decided to have children - one of his issues is that he will be 60 and have 12 year olds to deal with. I shrug my shoulders and say that I will take care of them - He talks about what he wants to do with his retirement. Don't get me wrong - when we met he wanted to have children - as time has lapsed with everything else going on - he has started to become concerned about his age and the strains of raising a child. Though he has come around - it is something that I worry about (the fact that he isn't 100%). Has this issue come up for you? If so - how have the two of you dealt with it?

Have a great day.
Yve

Hi ladies! I still have not worked out yet today. It's legs day and I have to admit that there is a huge dread factor. CPR class was ultimately fine, awkward, but fine. DH and I went out for a very evil lunch after that....so I need to get motivated to do something today.

Lora-We sure will miss you! I was not thinking you would be gone so long! We have been so spoiled with you always being there to start us off on a daily basis! I went on BPAL yesterday and looked at the soaps. My DH says we MUST order Snake Oil soap, so I guess I will look into it soon. Are there any others you would recommend?

Yve-Yes, we absolutely struggle with the age thing. I especially want us both to retire early since there is such an age difference. I want to be able to spend as much as possible of our later years together doing things we always wanted to do....travel, etc. If a child comes into the picture, that will go out the window. We've already decided that he will stay home for at least a year if we did have a baby, which would be a bit of a financial hamstring. We will need to keep working to fund our retirements and perhaps a college education, too. There's a lot we would give up. We know our free time would be greatly dimished also. Sometimes between taking care of the three dogs and ourselves, we are just not sure we can handle adding another little person to the mix. But, we also think about the positives. And know that for every moment we realize we will be giving something up (quiet morning breakfasts together), we realize that there will be other happy moments that replace it (another voice to brighten our home and add to the laughter we share). I guess you can just say that we are going into this with very open eyes....it's not all cutsie stuff....it's work! Talking about it with each other is just our way of preparing ourselves for what we think we are getting in to. I don't think you need to worry too much...although it's a good idea to reconnect on the subject to make sure you are on the same page. I am sure your DH is just trying to be realistic about the situation and walk and talk himself through what having a baby now will be like. I think it's just the responsible thing to do. At some point, we will need to decide if it hasn't happened yet-what is the cutoff point? I have not determined that yet and neither has he, but as another year or two passes, I could see him getting more resistant....we seem to get more and more set in our ways and routines as time goes on.

I have heard that ladies our age have had the most success with Ovulation Predictor Kits. I think that is a good route to go!

I have only used a website-I think it's babymed.com.

Back Again! I finally did a WO this evening, but put it off until the last possible moment-didn't start until 8:15! I was supposed to do Muscle Max LB premix and floor work from Gym Style Legs. I needed a Cathe break (just couldn't take that intensity today), so I substituted Delores Munoz Killer Butt and followed it with Yoga Booty Ballet Goddess Booty. It was tough to get going, but I am glad I got it done!

Have a great night!
