I did my first group class. It's only 30 min, but there really isn't much rest time, it's one exercise into the next most of it. I think I did a good job of personalizing it to my needs. I pretty much kept pace with the warmup minus making one movement with weights much smaller. I thought about going half speed for most of it, but I found instead doing 1/2 to 3/4 of what everyone else did making my own little breaks. I was the only newcomer. Will see how I feel the next little while to see if I matched my needs well.
 
This made me smile chemgal. My ankle sprain is taking awhile to heal and while I am back at yoga class there are moves I modify and some I just sit out.
Glad you are finding something that is working for you.
 
I did a number on my ankle a few years ago. 3rd degree sprain and strain.

Took a long time to heal. I found that a balance board really helped.
 
I've started using My Fitness Pal again to count calories. Already beginning to feel the positive effects. Someone told me yesterday that she can see I've lost a little weight. It feels good.
 
In essence a mass-less, volume-less entity is like god ... nothing but ability to pick up stinking intelligence from human falls?

Some traditions call this point of gravitas ... the God Particle ... nothing tuit when you empty you minds of alternate spirits ... sort've like Sunday Morning Come-down ... or put-down in other cases ... do we support the devastated by the overly industrious?

NO! Humanity is so embarrassing ... we need the roué - L flush ... thus Jesus' souers ... the brotherhood of light under cover ... as intelligence is frowned upon in the real world ... it becomes a thing of virtue ... thus necessity of a virtual world ... escapism and cyber code to get in?

Some use Runi Q's ... Q's me now as I leave for a bit ...
 
I'm finally achieving a level of fitness again, just through hard skiing and being back working as a carpenter again for stretches. What left me winded at Christmas is now a non-issue. Somehow, I have to bridge the spring to get to mountain biking season. The only way I've ever managed to do that us running. Now I've got Zach to throw in the jogging stroller. Claire and especially Carter loved it. I expect Zach will be the same.

With me, it's not weight loss. But I'm entirely capable of being skinny fat. People look at me and tell me what great shape I'm in and it makes me convulse in laughter when I'm not. My fit self doesn't look much different from my unfit self. I'm lucky in a way, but it also removes some of the motivaton to get out there and run or ride.
 
"In shape" are definitely confusing and misleading words. Some look fit when they aren't, others get negative comments when they are extremely fit. Me? Slowly working at it around multiple health problems that make it challenging to find forms of exercise that I can do that don't leave me gasping for air or in pain (right away or later).

Taking Zach for a run would be good motivation for you Chansen.
 
Carter loved our runs. It was difficult to run without him. Running with him was one of those things we did after the injury that made us both feel like the injury never happened.
 
I was pleased with the number on the scale this morning and the way my skirt fit better. I still have at least 5 pounds to go (ideally 10!) but going to the gym once a week, climbing stairs on my afternoon break, and eating less chips after dinner have really made a difference!
 
I could certainly lose a few pounds. And I know I'd like to feel more fit than I currently feel. Although the back stretches and the 10,000 plus steps a day certainly help. But....a friend sells isogenix (not sure of the spelling and too lazy to look up), which is a drink that helps with weight loss. I think it is used to replace meals. They posted a then and now picture of a lady in her late 60s. The then picture showed a round, smiling face and indicated that she had been a size 12 and 140 pounds. The now picture has her at size 4 and 108 pounds. The comments all say how wonderful to lose that much weight. I didn't comment, because I liked her at 140 pounds better! She looked pleasant and happy. Is our society a little skinny-crazy?
 
I've dropping 7ish lbs and I'm not even sure why. Haven't made any radical changes to diet or exercise regime. Monitoring in case it is something to worry about. There is a supplement that I am taking for other reasons that might be responsible.

I should lose 30, Mendalla. So I guess that's more than the 'few pounds' of my previous post.

I'm sometimes convinced I have a tape worm. Because I don't gain weight, I haven't bothered asking about it and feel like we're living a symbiotic relationship. I named it once, but I can't remember what I called it.

Maybe you got one.
 
Oh, and I ran with Zach on the weekend, while Claire rode her bike with us. He loved it with his dad and his sister with him. Just did an easy 5.7k. Still hurt the next day because not all the muscles involved are activated by hard skiing. Now to keep it up. Aaaaand it's already Wednesday. Damn.

How are your blood sugars? High blood sugars can result in weight loss.
 
or weight gain P3. When I was diagnosed with type 2 my sugars were high and the weight kept coming......
