Way to go, Amy !!!

However, I had alarm clock issues this morning and got up 1.5hrs later than normal, so no am yoga today, and no chance of doing anything later as I'm now on the run until 10pm tonight.
I hope to get in my 5min on the ab rocker just so I keep that going.

Good thing tomorrow is another day, huh ?

NW - As long as it was a small bit and you accounted for it, then you'll be okay . It's when we have large bits - or small bits repeatedly - that we run into trouble .

My legs ache from 2 trips out yesterday, but I have done my 10 minutes on the exercise cycle.

Way to go !

I still haven't viewed the DVD. Windows Media Player didn't recognise it on my computer upstairs, and I can barely 'drive' the DVD player in the sitting room, besides that is too public, and leaves me open to ridicule if caught. (Oh, the joys of having young men in the household who take the mickey out of anything and everything, but usually their long-suffering parents.

You'd think they would be grateful that I am taking control of my health and weight, wouldn't you?) The DVD worked on DH's computer (also in the sitting room), so this weekend I will have to download the player that he uses.

That's okay - I know you'll get to view it sooner or later. I wouldn't want the harassment of the young men so I don't blame you for not wanting it either!

I worked a bit late and thought my workout might suffer because of it but I was pleasantly surprised. I felt pretty strong and got a really good burn going. Took the time for an extended stretch even. I'm not working in the morning after all so I'm hoping for decent enough weather to go for a ride before the 3 hour round trip drive for the B-day party. DH's grandma is turning 91.

Walked around the Mall of America last night. Not a lot of walking, but I parked on the far side of the movie theatre, so I walked to and from...and it's a big mall.

I started my weekend with am yoga, and tonight I dance.

I'm so glad to be in such a noble company!
Wednesday was off as I had another day of my headache. (I'm sure it had something to do with my term paper, so well, I just accepted it. I used to have a real severe headaches as a child and doctors couldn't find the reason. Now there are just from time to time and I can quite often tell what was a trigger, I am not very good at relaxing and there are also some hormonal, monthly issues... Anyway it was bad enough to decide to take a day off.)
Thu - Flex Band Cardio workout (30 min)
Fri - 15 min upper body + 10 min stretch
Sat - off (shabbat)
And now I'm ready to post in a new thread! See you there.
