I ran 5 miles today and am starting a weekly yoga class tomorrow on my orthopedist's order.

Yep, yep I do! Same name, same person

I joined the Y last Friday. I haven't used my membership benefits yet, but I will.

I registered and paid for my yoga teacher training today.

I also went running.

1 hour on the bike and painted a ceiling (have paint all over my face to prove it)

Got my ass kicked by my roommate's new Wii Fit. Unfortunately, I've also noticed it does a number to my shin splints.

-A half hour of cardio (15 minutes of running, 15 minutes of walking on an incline)
-Some light weights & abs

I was perusing BT and recognized your screenname, but couldn't place where I had seen it before until I read this thread!

Today I ran five miles.

starang21 · #**338** 01-12-2009, 11:26 PM

ran 4.5 miles

PhoenixAzul · #**339** 01-13-2009, 10:20 PM

Had a pretty epic run yesterday, so today I took it easy and did a half hour on the dreadmill and then did my weights workout. Tomorrow's plan is a 7 mile run/commute and an hour swimming.

Also: those of you near an REI store--their clearance is AWESOME. I got a new pair of running shoes yesterday for 64 bucks, normally 95. And I got a box+ of Cliff bars in holiday flavors (spiced pumpkin and iced gingerbread) for .03. Yes, THREE CENTS.

I slipped and fell yesterday and banged my shin (I hate winter!) so I'm taking that as a sign that I shouldn't even attempt walking/jogging outside until some of this ice goes away. (My city's snow/ice removal plan consists of waiting for April, so it'll be a while. It's not the cold I mind, it's the unintentional ice skating.)

Did some upper-body work today. I'm debating whether to hop on the stationary bike tomorrow... I haven't done cardio in a while, and my shin is bruised and a bit sore, but I think the biggest injury was to my pride.

Yoga! I think I'm addicted.

Congrats! I have not been able to work out this week between going away for the weekend, then coming down with the stomach flu which led to complications. I will be doing cardio today though.

I have lost 45.4 pounds since Christmas

WOW! I will hardly recognize you when I see you in a few weeks!

I'm running my first 10K in the morning. We'll see how it goes!

Good luck on the 10K!

I think I had gained about 15 or 20 pounds since we saw each other at Convention and Christmas, but I'm honestly not sure at this point what my weight was last year at this time, but I'm hoping to get another 5-10 off before our trip! Of course, I was originally thinking I'd lose that before I saw *him* but after our little spontaneous rendezvous last weekend, that didn't happen. However, sister, YOU are my inspiration. It didn't even really start out as a goal to lose weight, but to eat more healthy and work out regularly. Now that the weight is just falling off, it's hard not to think about weight loss goals. By next Convention though, I'm hoping nobody will recognize me

The last time I lost this much weight, it was because I was very sick from the Crohn's (before it was diagnosed) and I lost a lot of muscle and bone density. THIS time, it's all because I'm healthy and it feels so different. I'm seeing real muscle definition and have so much more energy already. Ideally, I think I'd want to lose 60-70 more pounds. However, I'm just going to keep working out and eating the way I have been and see what happens. It's extremely difficult when you can't eat vegetables and the fruits and grains you can eat are limited. High protein/low carb is working well for me though!

Also, it has inspired my daughter to lose weight. She doesn't want me to weigh less than her, so we're kind of in a healthy competition with it. That also keeps me going because I want to inspire her too. She is doing Wii Fit and her dad is paying her $5 per pound lost up to $200!

ETA: I have always felt a little twinge of guilt during the part of the Purpose that says "To develop and prize health and vigor of body", so I'm hoping that I'll never have to feel guilty during that part again!
