Good evening my friends!
Wednesday stats: Krav CB: 60 min
Thurs stats: Krav CB: 60 min

I feel sore but not too horrible. We have an arctic front coming through this weekend. For us thats low 20's. Eek! I'm a force to be reckoned with in class but my bones with cold or humidity and I'm a complete weenie!

I feel really happy. Yesterday after my regular KM bag class my womens krav instructor came up to me. She was in there to participate in class not teach it. And she said she wanted to thank me for being a part of her womens krav self defense class. I was surprised. She said she loved the positive energy I bring to the class and that I did really great Tuesday! I was so happy! I told her that I felt like I broke through some kind of wall or something. She said "You GOT it!" She said she was so pleased at me wailing away with my strikes and that even with the padded instructor I didnt hesitate this time and my moves were smoother and faster. She said another lady that I love in there, and one other and myself were kickin booties. She said the difference was amazing. I got teary inside because I told her with my arthritis every day is so difficult and I have to work twice as hard if not 3x harder than a healthy person to try to keep up and the recovery is much harder for my joints. She was so supportive.

So buggy is content because that night I felt like I had made a big breakthrough as I usually am fluid when I practice at home. But in class when its the moves I can get stiff. DUH...as monster on my back!! lol. So i'm not as quick. But she was very pleased that I was remembering everything and smoothly. That is a BIG milestone for bugster. Thats just given me that extra boost of confidence I needed for testing in a few months. She's a high level instructor and for her to say that to me meant alot.

Okay..enough gloating!! I'm just in my happy place right now. Time for my pain med and nite nite time!
GOOoooo team!!!

Way to go with the neck stretching !!! I try to but mostly in classes. I have so many problems with my neck. Especially when it comest to keeping it one position. I wake up with the frozen neck too often the last few years.

We've had quite a bit of fog over here for the last 3 weeks. Real strange. We'd have it as late as noon.

Keep up the good work!!

Way to go Erika!
I loved the eliptical machine. I couldnt do the threadmill because I was certain I'd fall. The walking on it hurt my back. But I had no stress on the eliptical. Nice and slow and you will enjoy it! The good thing with eliptical is that you dont need speed. Just slow and steady!
Gooo Erika!! So proud of you!!!

Awwww... thanks. I had a slight migraine last night, so I didn't answer anyone. Today is a new day!

Friends, Country men... Lovely Ladies,
I scooped 1 hour of very heavy snow. Water was running out of the scoop.. But I did it and I have a headache, but I think I'm ok.

hey all! i've missed you all here! will be back to walking soon i hope! finally i think the chiro and i have figured out the problem, but some problems are a bit stubborn and take a bit of time to work on before they fall into line. but today is a better day than pretty much all week, so hopeful!

been reading your escapades though! keep kickin AS!

Good JOB!

That's going out of your way for exercise!
(sorry about the headache, though)

Go TEAM!

It's sunny for the first time in days!

So, of course I'm sitting in the house doing homework.

But I got in a good 3/4 mile swim in 50 minutes today, so I'm a happy and extremely calm camper.

Go TEAM!

I get nervous when I think people are watching me do tai chi, and then I'm sure I look extra stiff.

But your instructor knows you, and you're doing a great job! You just think you're stiff, but really you're maybe just a bit self conscious?

Go TEAM!

Thursday: walk 4 miles (80 minutes)
Friday: walk 2 miles (40 minutes)
Saturday: bike 25 miles (85 minutes)

I was cranking and I didn't believe my own time when I got home. It was cold for this area...less than 40F and that's a wind-chill of less than 31F.
