Last week did not go quite as planned due to school being closed on Friday which meant no fitness classes. But, in good news, I did yoga for at least 15 minutes every day and saw notable improvement even over the course of those 7 days. I'm feeling a lot more hopeful about my recovery after 7 months of sedentary living while healing from surgeries!
And the weather should be nice for getting outside this week which means I can get some walking in - the first step to getting back to running.

Minus 33 with wind chill or was that the air temp? Holy moly! I can't complain since we were only in single digits for temp and around 0 with wind chill.

So, we've made it through the first week of the year - Yippee! It's blasting cold here in Philly and may get warmer by the end of the week, but we've been in the teens for about a week, which is unusual for us. Glad I do indoor workouts!
Sunday - Sang two services at church (about 3 hours on my feet, etc.) I usually burn as many calories as gentle yoga.
Monday - Fencing 2.5 hours - with a private lesson - tournament on Saturday.
Tuesday - 1 hour with my trainer
Wednesday - 2 hours fencing
Thursday - Rest
Friday - Pilates and lifting 2 hours

Hope you are all staying warm wherever you are and have a great week!

I think the stationary bike is better then walk for losing body fat fast...a person burns about 513 calories in a 30-minute run at 7 mph .so if u run one an half hour per day u can lose your body fat too fast.
Proud of you and you can do this. We will be here when you need us. I keep thinking in the coming years of ironman but it is the money that stops me. So expensive and would have to travel to do it.

Someone posted this on the Men's Forum. I viewed it and it made a lot of sense. He didn't go into great detail, but most of his reasoning was pretty sound. Thoughts??
