5/5 (although no. 4 was just a hike in the woods)

I am not sure what I will do for exercise while traveling over thanksgiving. Take a bike along? Push-ups and sit-ups? I am not a runner.

Walking is exercise.

Thanks Duca. I was going to get AFAA certified in my 20's but never did since I was busy with college/work that whole decade!

I've trained with and trained several friends/family on the side for nearly 20 years now. Actually, putting together some workouts for some collegues at work right now. I may still get certified, who knows.

I certainly wouldn't mind if some of my 'before' pics were of iz focus quality.

Dear Iz,

How do you get someone to work out with you. The idea that pilates will make you faster has not sunk in.

Flexible makes those low-speed "oops" moments hurt a lot less. You know, the ones where if feels like you pulled every muscle in your body? It helps with those ~

I've heard that regular yoga makes you 45% less likely to run into 848s.

T, I haven't tried pilates yet but from my experience (after a car accident), Bikram's Yoga helped me get back into shape. I try to do the poses still every once in awhile but the Aikido and regular stretching before workouts keeps me limber.

I have not given up the tequila. The extra push for the abs in the Spring is going to be difficult.

On the other hand I'm a hell of a lot healthier and my back hasn't kept me out of work in almost two years...so now the motivation to go even further is purely looks...which is easier to not care about quite as much as the overall health.

mmmmmmmmm tequila.

Is it normal to bloat up an inch or two during the day, due to water-weight?

I'm perfectly happy being unfit...
