Batgirl Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I am the opposite of an athlete. I'm 48 with 2 kids in middle school. I'm short and overweight, but I'm not stupid. I've just placed myself on the bottom of the priority list for 17 years. There's really no point in looking back and feeling like I should have done something long ago. I have been training my brain to LOOK FORWARD! Do the workout first, THEN I can argue with myself whether it was the right thing to do or not. I completed W1D1 two times (did it as a test the first time). I'm hoping to find a 5K for me and my kids later on this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batgirl Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks! I'm looking forward to W2D2 tomorrow. Took an hour today for Beginner Flow Yoga, which really helps with breathing & posture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TrishE Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yoga is my one true love, weight lifting is a close second but yoga is the best! Remember take the time to enjoy it, its all about centering yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batgirl Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Finished W2! I have been going to Yoga once a week for about 2 months. I tend to love a particular activity until I do it so much that I burn out and quit. Rather than add more yoga, I added C25K. That's 4 days of fitness per week. Today is Sunday rest day for me. My muscles are tight and a little sore, but stretching feels SO good! I find myself doing a little torso twist just cuz it feels good. I was standing still waiting in the store & just felt the need to lunge a little to stretch out my calfs & hamstrings. I went to a wedding yesterday & did not indulge too much in all the amazing food offerings. Instead, I danced, alot! I love the balance of C25K & weekly yoga. I still get 3 days a week to give my muscles a rest and reflect on how I feel, breath and dream <3 bring on W3D1 tomorrow, I'm ready!

Batgirl Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 W3, crushed it! Tomorrow is Sunday and I'll be trying a strength training workout with a friend. Then Monday is W4. Oh boy! I can't believe I'm doing all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batgirl Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Well, W4 turned out to be a week off. The strength training I did on Sunday was too much & I was so sore I couldn't do anything for 4 days! Today starts a new week, so I did W3 again. May do the same on Wednesday. I'll get to W4 eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
