Walking proud, feeling powerful!

Well today after work I went to the yoga studio and did 1 hour of power yoga and then walked around Lake Calhoun (3.1 miles) in 45 minutes. After all of that I felt so good. I had to push myself a couple of times around the lake, the wind started blowing and I really had to step it up to keep the same pace going. I don't think I would have even contemplated this much exercise 6 months ago let alone be able to accompli**** The yoga seems to be getting more difficult the more days in a row I do it so tomorrow I am taking a rest day, that and I have a spa party to go to! I just have to say that I am so grateful to have gotten this tool and I will work my hardest to honor it and get the most out of it. P.S. I can fit into a size 16 dress pants!

Thanks! I am not sure when I will get the chance to update my avatar as I do not own a camera so I am at the whim of whoever else can take my pic and send it to me.

Way to go! You are definitely earning every bit of your success.

Nicole, you are inspiring ME to up the exercise! That's the hardest thing for me. I'm active, but don't do much "formal" exercise! Dog walks, I know they count. Housework? Well, I know I feel it!! But I need to do more to tone the arms and legs, help trim my midsection, yada yada yada. As for the avatar? I would be willing to bet someone at the spa party would be willing! I don't think I can make that tomorrow night, but if you were to show up at Maple Grove coffee Saturday am, I think I could bring my camera!!!

WTG!!! Feels great doesn't it? Once you get in those habits of exercise, you just want to keep pushing. Congrats!
