ch-ch-changes

I'm up to a total of 30.13 miles of walking / running since I started keeping track.

I got off the program for the long weekend. I found that I was spending over an hour running, warming-up and stretching. I didn't have time to lift weights, do ab work, or sit in the steam room (my favorite). I missed those things. Each day this weekend I ran / walked 20 minutes to keep endurance and used the elliptical for 30 minutes and ended with weights, stretching and the steam room.

A group of friends and I have been going to yoga class at least twice a week, but a few weeks ago the yoga instructor on Thursday nights left to open a new studio. My schedule (as well as the other people's) is very tight. I asked them and the Y is letting me use the room. I have been leading my friends once a week. Last week I decided to use an old CD that Amy, Chrissy and some other Nac folks would practice to a couple of times a week. I forgot completely about yogic bicycle. Chrissy, do you remember that? 50 times!? I have incorporated that into my daily routine and it feels great (now ... it sure as hell didn't feel very good the first time).

I want to continue on this program and I think due to the time I have in the morning, I'm going to have to put the weights on hold during the weekday. For now I'll stick with the program, adding the yoga bicycle and continuing with the yoga at least 2 times a week. The weekends I can focus on my arms and the steam room.

Oh ... screw the scale. My pants are less tight so I must be doing something right.
