Trying to Fit Yoga In for Tuesday April 15

Morning Ladies -

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I've had horrid neck pain/headaches for 3 days now. I didn't EVEN feel like doing cardio this morning. It seems the more fit I get, the harder and harder I have to work to get my HR up and it's becoming more of a "chore" than fun!

I ended up doing Kelly's Step Boxing. This is usually an intense workout for me, but my HR only hovered around 140-145 most of the time and it took a while to even elevate! I was a bit frustrated again with the coreography as I've not done this in a while. Workout was 55" and I burned 485 calories.

Jen - I've been thinking the same way that you have RE: STS. It's been a while since I've done a heavy/split rotation, as I've been focusing on circuits -- so I'm thinking I'll just wait until STS gets here and "shock" my body. I really need to lose some weight. I don't why these pounds are hanging on for dear life.

Yve - I forgot to answer you about Jill Miller's Spinal Tune UP. I guess I don't care for her practices much cuz they each focus on one body part and I guess I'm more into the "total body" yoga experience? not sure if this is the reason...but I just don't click with Jill's DVDs and everyone at VF is crazy about her. She's good...but I wish she'd do a total yoga routine to encompass several parts of the body. Does that make sense?

Kel - Glad you're getting back into the workouts.

Did I mention that I just purchased a 20# weighted vest off of Amazon? I got free Super Saver Shiping or it would have been around $28 just for shipping. It's not as fitted or sleek as Cathe's or other expensive models, but I didn't want to spend much. I hope it's comfortable enough, as I'm extremely sensitve. I want to use it walking on the Treadmill and for leg workouts.

My little Brookie has urinated on the basement floor a couple times over the last couple of days. I don't know what's wrong with her, but I hope it's just a bladder infection and nothing more serious....or even just a behavioral issue. She's never done this before...so I'm hoping that it won't become a habit. I hope my DH has time to take her to the Vet when he gets home from work.

Have a great day ladies.

Wow.......what a freakin' day. My little cat Brooklyn has urinated outside of the litter box over the last few days....so my DH tried to take her to the Vet today, but she freaked and tore him all up and he couldn't get her in the cat carrier. Then she hid. So...I get home from work and throw her little butt in a pillow case and then in the carrier. Go to vet......discuss her situation....she gets antibiotics for a possible bladder infection and then he tells us how she might be acting out with mating season...etc. Then, examining HER ....he finds a TESTICLE. My cat has one testicle and it is a female!!! or so we thought. Apparently, the pet store that did her female surgery must have been a place that did a half-assed job and he said they must have only found one ovary and never wondered where the 2nd one was....since he says you can't have "three of anything".....only 2 ....so Brooklyn most likely had 1 testicle and 1 ovary and therefore is a Hemaphrodite. My vet says he's never seen anything like it. I have a FREAK cat. Needless to say, we have her scheduled to get the testicle removed in a couple of weeks because it is making testosterone and maybe has something to do with her getting all crazy this time of year when she's supossedly "fixed". The other strange thing is that over the past couple of weeks, my male cat (who always gets rough with the my other male) has been roughing Brooklyn up a bit. It's probably cuz he senses her (or he/she's) testosterone! Is that freakin' wild or what. I paid a LOT of money for her cuz we got her "out of season" and she was from a Breeder! I feel like making them pay for this! My DH and I always noticed something that looked like a male part back there, but we never really examined it cuz we thought it was a defect from her surgery or something or a weird female part!
