I noticed you said you 'worked out'. Do you ever get that stodgy feeling when you feel like you just don't want to do it? And then you have to motivate yourself? Err, i think i am posting this in an effort to get out and do it. I don't 'work out' as such, i walk for about an hour or so. I am so lazy.

Hi!
Oh yeah...if I start to lose my routine...it takes me a long time to get it back! I have to stay faithful to my routine!! LOL! I lift weights twice a week...sometimes three...but, you should always have a day in between with this activity (thank God! LOL!)

Walking for 'about an hour or so' is awesome! When I dance, I like to dance for about an hour...burns more stored fat! But, even though I love to dance...I don't always find the time to fit this into my routine on a weekly basis...
So, I am becoming more bulky looking without my muscle-lengthening dancing to offset my weight lifting...
The thing is that I do love the weight lifting...and it seems to be easy for it to fit it into my life...
Dancing I can fit in...and I do love it...but, it requires more time!
Thing is, I am only 5 foot 4 1/2 inches...not close to 6 feet as you are...so, I lack your grace and beauty...(God forgot that I was supposed to be taller!!...Or maybe she thought there were some 'short' lessons that I needed to learn!!)

OK...back to the subject! I also love Yoga...which strengthens and lengthens the muscles...but, I do not do this as regular as I should either! I bought a book on Pilates and a video also...but, I haven't tried it yet...

Keep in mind that I am the rooster who may be crowing (bragging) when I perhaps should be humbling myself! LOL! But, I am a Strong Rooster! (Ok...I just had to add that! LOL!)

Pilates seems to be the in thing at the moment. I am thinking about taking up either karate or yoga as i need to strengthen muscles and develop focus. I try to walk every day (usually get about 6 days in) and when i get home i do light weights and sit-ups. So far i think ive toned up a little but i won't be happy until i get a flat stomach, lol! I am very pre-menstrual at the moment, which makes me feel stodgy...! But today i did the walk and once i started i was fine. Not as bouncy as usual, but i made it, hehe!

I am a rooster too, don't you love it? I think roosters are the best sign in the chinese zodiac. If i wasn't a rooster i would want to be a snake or ox.

Libragirl...I have always felt that the Rooster is in conflict with some of who I am...but, at the same time, I love being the Rooster!

I have never given thought to what the Best sign is...so, you think we are the best? Cool...
I love that encouragement!

I haven't done much but read about Pilates so far...it seems to be a combination of exercise practices...including yoga...
I love yoga!
However, I have been too on-and-off with yoga, and am thinking I can obtain faster results with pilates...

OK...there I go...looking for a quick fix!

Shame on me!
