Something else to try

Since I"m still not feeling 100% (and this morning I feel like I am coming down with round 2 of what i just went through...sore throat, coughing, yadda yadda) I am really into these 20 minute workouts on hulu. Here is another yoga/pilates one


And here is one that is just pilates. For those of you who have never done pilates....I LOVE IT. I used to take a class once a day for a month when I was young and unemployed. And it did soooo much for my posture and just how I felt everyday. I just felt stronger all around. I totally suggest trying to do this workout 3 days a week for a month and see how you start to feel.


And those of you who want to mix up cardio with your yoga...here you go. ;-)

Did you try it?

So, I did that video yesterday and supposedly it's supposed to work your hips, butt and theighs....and let me tell ya. My hips butt and theighs were sore today, so I'd say it delivered. There are several other fitness videos I like on hulu. I'll tell you about them soon. For now i oughta get to my dishes.

Hmmmmmmm.....

Apparently according to my ticker I should be a P90X grad by now... But...

We accidentally did 1 too many weeks in the 1st phase
In the 2nd phase Jonathon was sick a whole week, so I did an extra week the 2nd phase as well
In the 3rd phase I have been sick for the past week+ so I plan to do 3 more weeks once I start feeling better.

My kids have shared there terrible cold with me. The good news is that I now have a little more patience and empathy for them when they have a runny nose. Being sick is the pits. I have had the most terrible headache for over a week, and haven't been able to taste food since last Thursday. You'd think that not being able to taste food would be a blessing. But for me it is a curse. I crave food all day long now because I never feel satisfied when I get to eat. I don't get to enjoy my meals like I used to. So, I think I end up eating more hoping that I might be able to taste just 1 bite.

So, sadly enough I was supposed to run 15 miles last saturday, but couldn't thanks to this nasty sore throat, headache, bugary nose, evil bug that has zapped all my energy...thanks.

And since I don't get to exercise I am Miss Grumpy Pants herself. I can't handle going more than 3, 4 days tops without exercising. I feel yucky and in turn start to act yucky... sorry family.

But today, I looked up hulu.com and found this beautiful piece of work. It's only 20 minutes, and I really like yoga. It works your muscles well, breaks you out in a small sweat, and gives you a nice stretch. He doesn't hold the poses for very long...but hey. He's trying to pack a 45 minute workout into 20 minutes, and I'd say he does a pretty good job.

Have 20 minutes to spare right now? Give it a try.
