Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004My "stick-to-ative-ness"
As soon as I made a comment about my ability to stick to yoga, I've started to miss lessons. I didn't go last week, did not go this week (the old Wednesday and St. Paddy's Day conflict)...I still figure that next week looks good, though. Gotta keep myself honest. Plus, I gotta get back to it before my endurance is all shot to heck. ;) beeswing I wrote: >As soon as I made a comment about my ability to stick to yoga, I've started >to miss lessons.

Thank goodness our kitchen counters are almost clear of cookies. And, honestly, I'm cookied out. There are GS cookies in the freezer, but I really don't want to see another cookie for quite a long while. Note to self: No more cookies, keep eating low-calorie yogurt for lunch, and follow all those good and well-tested routines. beeswing, feeling optimistic > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > There are GS cookies in the freezer, but I really don't want to see another > cookie for quite a long while. I had a slight mishap with the GS cookies, too. I only bought two boxes this year and promised myself I wouldn't eat them all.......broken promise :( Thankfully it took me two weeks to finish the boxes and I cut back on meals during this period without gaining anything. Next year - NO GS cookies<g> I may do what someone else in our department did a couple of year ago. She bought several boxes of cookies and dropped them off at one of the homeless shelters. I thought this was a good idea.

I thought this was a good idea. I have a young Girl Scout in my house. Not buying cookies wasn't truly an option, plus we got stuck with a bunch of the ones left unbought at the end of the sale. I have cookies everywhere, including boxes in the freezer. One kewl thing the GS troops here did was that folks could donate money instead of purchase cookies. It wasn't uncommon for people to "buy" a box or two of cookies and not take any with them. At the end of the sale, the girls will be taking the cookies "bought" and donating them somewhere charitable. Last year, I was told the cookies had gone to the Armed Forces. Thanks for helping out the Girl Scouts! :) beeswing > One kewl thing the GS troops here did was that folks could donate money instead > of purchase cookies.

Last year I bought cookies and gave them to the GS and told them to give them away. I work in a school so I get lots of GS coming to me.

Now that's a nice idea! If I run into any more Girl Scouts this season, I'll feel free to just donate and skip the calories...

They have the BEST cookies. Next time I see one, I will do the same thing. > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > beeswing I'm finding it hard to get back into my normal exercise routine after my vacation. I didn't go for a couple of weeks and I'm struggling getting back to the 2-3 times weekly for Curves. Last week I made it one day but I'm hoping for a better showing this week. Hopefully you'll be able to get back to yoga soon. Beverly >> x-no-archive: yes >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >Beverly Its always hard after a vacation. DH and I are still struggling. He hasn't been back to the Y at all since we got back, and neither have I. So, right now I'm paying for the membership that isn't being used. :( I was looking forward to using mine during DS's soccer practices - as the league is w/ the Y and they started out on the fields behind the gym. But they decided to move the practice down to the middle school that is about 4 miles away. I could probably drop off, go back to the gym, workout for about 20 mins then go back to pick him up. The downside is that at 5:30 pm the gym is packed and I have to wait for equipment - in 20 mins I might only get a couple sets on a couple machines... Not much of a workout. Although, if I could run... I'd be hitting the track around the field at the middle school. >I'm finding it hard to get back into my normal exercise routine after my >vacation.

Getting back on track after a vacation can certainly be hard! Best wishes with that. The worst part of this is that I don't have the excuse of a vacation. *THAT'S* actually coming up in two weeks. >Hopefully you'll be able to get back to yoga soon. I fully expect to resume it this week. I'm looking forward to it. I just hope I can still bend. ;) beeswing "Beverly" > I'm finding it hard to get back into my normal exercise routine after my > vacation.

My arms and legs are so freaking sore. I was glad to see that I was still able to handle nearly the same amount of weight. I am starting slow and still not doing cardio until I can breathe properly. > "Beverly" > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > able to handle nearly the same amount of weight. I am starting slow and > still not doing cardio until I can breathe properly. I made it to Curves last night and I felt great afterward. I plan on going again Wednesday. Hopefully I'll be able to get the bike out of the storage shed and get it ready for the biking season this weekend. My training for the bike patrol starts April 3 and I need to be sure it's ready. The weather forecast indicates we're finally going to get some decent temps around here. Hope you're feeling 100% soon. Don't rush the cardio - it will still be there when you're ready<g> Beverly You will get back to it, I have faith in you! I don't think taking 1-2 weeks off will seriously hurt anything... as long as you do start again soon.

I've never done a lot of yoga but what little I have done I've always enjoyed. I've been to Curves once this week and the gym bag is in the van for tonight. I had planned on going last night but ended up helping a granddaughter with a school project instead. I thought about jumping on the treadmill later in the evening but it was too late by the time we finished playing with the paints, glue, sparkles, feathers, sequins, etc. Beverly >WTG!

It means a lot. >I've been to Curves once this week and the gym bag is in the van for >tonight. I had planned on going last night but ended up helping a >granddaughter with a school project instead.

Congrats to you. I think as far as life priorities go, the granddaughter's project certainly comes first. It sounds like you and she had a lot of fun...I'm envious! beeswing, who would love to play with paints, glue, sparkles, feathers, sequins, etc., but does NOT want to clean up the mess afterward. ;) beeswing wrote: > Last night, I returned to yoga class.

I was running late last night and almost skipped the class but badly didn't want to. My brain was in a whirr. I zipped in the studio a few minutes late, started off with the breathing practice and then moved on to the yoga itself -- the breath took over my racing brain, and I was able to focus and relax. I've actually trained myself. It was like mega excellent. An ability to relax has never been one of my prime features. Geez, I love it. I was so happy to be back beeswing Pretty cool! I bet you feel better! I wanted to go to the gym tonight, but I wound up working until 9:30 (another 12 hour day). 7:30 last night and 7 the night before. It is end of the month in the mtg biz and I am busier then heck!! "beeswing" < > Last night, I returned to yoga class. I didn't have any problems because of the > break I took; I actually felt great.

Every time I go, I wonder what it is that makes me sometimes put it off. I hope your work calms down a bit for you soon! beeswing |
