Great job Darcy! Way to start off the bragging for today! My brag is that I

got my butt back into the gym, finally! I am still not where I want to be (as

in working out everyday and lifting on a regular basis) but I am getting

there! I took my first yoga class on Wednesday. I always thought I was too

high strung for yoga, but it was awesome! Once again, I was forced to eat my

own words (I have called yoga a sissy workout on a few occasions). Boy, I am

feeling that class today! It was awesome! I can't wait to go back!

Yay, ! I'm proud of you for getting back to the gym! I knew you could

do it (you always do). I'm glad you like yoga. It will complement your

other workouts nicely.

Darcy, I don't know if your remember 's and my earlier posts on the

subject, but one of Walden's tapes is extremely difficult (it might

be called " Flexibility " ). The beginning or introduction one is doable and is

a great tape. Just don't feel overwhelmed if you find you can't do all of

the moves on one of her tapes (I can't).

Darcy,

Whew.......that DOES sound stressful! Congratulations on getting up

even earlier this week And please, don't let ONE missed day of

working out stress you out any more than you already are! It won't

kill you to miss a day of working out (although I know it will help

with your stress levels if you can find a way to get the workout

in)! Enjoy the wedding

Yes, I'm very honored to be the Matron of Honor, but actually she has

a Maid of Honor too. I am secondary, but the ONE who has the big

house so hosting all the parties... bridal shower, bachlorette party,

and now night before wedding party.. I am excited for the wedding,

but it's just been a lot of work!

Darcy who can't believe one of her best friends will be married on

Saturday - WOW (this makes me feel old)!!

Yes, sometimes I have to eat my own words too . Oh well, at

least you admitted up to it As for the yoga, I just bought the 3

set w/ Walden (the am and pm workout too). I am anxious to

try it. I have no idea what yoga involves, but I do know that I like

relaxing music and love to stretch so hopefully I will like yoga as

well.

Darcy who, most importantly, wants to post GREAT JOB on getting back

to the gym!! Ya-hoo!!

Thanks . That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. If I don't

workout, big deal, I have a lot of things going on. But yet, I would

really like to so that I may start my day out RIGHT and feel great

the rest of the day. If I can't workout, I will accept it, I'm just

really hoping I can

Darcy,

Way to go on your early morning workouts. Don't you

just love they way you feel after you workout in the

morning. I always felt a sense of accomplishment.

I can totally relate with the wedding stuff. My

brother is getting married this weekend too. I am

trying very hard not to stress but I'm not doing too

well in that dept. I'm just afraid I'll forget to get

something. There is just so much to do and not enough

time to get everything done. And to top everything

off the wedding is out of state so we have to pack

everything up to take with us, plus make sure we don't

forget anything. I made a bunch of lists so I don't

forget anything, my luck I'll forget my gown.

Anyway, on to my brag (2 parts)...

First of all, I managed to workout three times this

week so far. I've only be averaging 1x per week in

the last couple of months, so I'm really happy about

getting back into working out on a regular basis. I'm

hoping to workout tonight and tomorrow morning as

well, but with the wedding this weekend I'm not sure

if I'll have time to workout tomorrow or not, since we

leave for land at noon, since the wedding is on

Sunday.

2nd part of my brag...

I just realized that this week was my 1st year

anniversary doing Taebo. This is the first workout

that I have stuck with for more than a couple of

weeks. Plus, I have learned so much about myself

during the last year and I know it's because of

and this group. I wouldn't have made it this far if I

didn't have this group to keep me motivated. Thanks

to everyone for all of your support and motivation

over the last year. You are all such a blessing to me

I can't even tell how much you all mean to me.

Looking back, I can't believe how far I have come.

When I started last year I was totally out of shape

and had about 75-80 lbs to lose. To date I have lost

about 25lbs and lots of inches. I still have far to

go but I'm happy with my progress and how much

stronger I am physically and mentally. I know I will

eventually get there even if it takes another 2 years

to reach my ideal weight. As long I keep moving

forward I'll be happy.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Take care

Bev

That is for certain Bev. When I first began getting workouts done in

the morning I was just on a high ALL DAY LONG. Now, I am much more

used to it, but it still feels wonderful.

Have a wonderful time at your brother's wedding. It sounds like you

have covered all your bases and won't forget anything! I will think

of you!! GREAT JOB on the brags too!! Happy Anniversary!!

Thanks Darcy,

I hope you enjoy your wedding as well. I'll be

thinking of you as I run around getting all the last

minute things done... At least it looks like we will

have great weather here this weekend, since my brother

is getting married outdoors. We have been concern

about having good weather this weekend. I hope the

weather is nice where you are.

I do at least 40 min. 6 days a week and yesterday, my day off, I couldn't

stop myself from doing 15 min. Yoga has become so important for me for

relieving stress and pain. Yesterday I did it because my back and hips were

sore and I had a terrible sinus and tension headache. The headache was so bad

that I couldn't read, use the computer, or watch TV, so I just did yoga. It

helped. I checked and the hard tape by Walden is called

" Flexibility. " You might be able to do the moves, but I sure couldn't. One

thing neat about yoga is that almost everyday you notice improvement in some

move or stretch. There is so much room for improvement (at least in my

case). I hope you enjoy it!

OMG that tape is torture!! I'd rather do AL5 three times in a row than do the

Not as much as I would like to. We have been pretty broke so I haven't bought

a sash with the little jingle stuff on it. I think that will make it easier

to pick up the technique. I am such a perfectionist. I want to learn it the

Thanks Sandie I DID get my workout in. However, it was not fun

cuz I had to do it very very modified so I wouldn't sweat..lol (we

couldn't wash our hair) I did it in my bedroom, which is small too.

I had friends scattered throughout the house and that was the only

t.v. that was available w/out waking anyone up

The wedding was very nice, it was a long day though!! I will post a

breaking a sweat!!!! Sounds like an interesting feat.

Glad the wedding went well )!!!!!

How did your body react to you taking a day off? It

must not of known what to do with itself )!!!!!
