OK ehBeth, We should definitely convince Kicky to take up bellydancing!

this guy's going to be giving classes and a performance at the studio I study at

if all male belly dancers looked like this, I'd make Setanta go, let alone Kicky

Shocked

No bellydancing for me, thanks. But actually, that boxing idea, I have thought about that before. A friend of mine and I were going to do that together a couple years ago, but then we went to find out how much it would be to get lessons, and that was the end of that. But that is a really good idea, Beth. I should look into that again.

Ha!

That's exactly the face Setanta made Laughing

There should be quite a few places that offer boxing in NYC these days.
Apparently, the most demanding version is Thai. Or is that Thai Kickboxing?

Great job you 2, I only made it 30 min jogging on the treadmill and got bored. But I am going to spin class tomorrow night!

I watched a lot of TV and got off the couch to go pee a couple times. I hope that counts.

I went to the gym last night. Bloody hell, it was FULL. Had to wait for 5 mins to find a parking space. Went inside, stripped off, and then realised that I had forgotten to bring my gym shorts. So had to get dressed again, go home and fetch them. Got late for my trainer. As a punishment, he tortured me with double time on the climber. I think I am falling in love with him.

It would be easier if I could drag my butt out of bed early enough to go before work. I haven't gone without my shorts and had to go back home though.
I'm going to start a new thread if anyone is interested in training for triathlon with me. Maybe a motivational thread.

Bad.

I went to the gym after 4:00 PM. It was super-duper incredibly crowded, which I hate. I asked when it would be less crowded, and was told between noon and 4. That's fine, best possible timing in fact, because the kid is in afternoon kindergarten, so I will go to the gym then and work other times (like when she's sleeping).

So Monday got all dressed and drove to the parking lot I usually park in (first time I went to the gym this stint, and where I parked all last summer). A sign -- "no visitors before 4:00 PM." Phooey. Went to another parking lot. Full. Drove around for a while looking for someplace else to park. Nada, nada, nada. By this time, with walking time from where I was + walking time back I'd have about 10 minutes at the gym before I had to pick up the kid.

Drove home. (Walked around neighborhood briskly for 20 minutes.)

Have been in contact with various entities about what to do about the parking situation (a few possible fixes are in process), but kind of stuck until then.

Before I got sick 2+ weeks ago, I was in a great groove for exercise. I'm having trouble getting there again.

Water aerobics is definitely out since I'm trying to get over a bad cold followed by a sinus infection - might try back to it on Saturday if the weather cooperates. I was alternating that 3 days/week with treadmill/exercise bike/resistance machines the other 4 days.

I can't seem to get into the gym every day. It's daunting. I think I'm going to try to build back up to every day by going 4 days this week for a start. There, I've written it down. I'm committed.

I dragged my lazy butt out for a jog at lunchtime.
There were probably buzzards circling overhead.

My "gym" is a very sedate rehab center. We're a one car family, so if I don't get there in the morning, I don't get there.

Monday I had a conflicting appointment. Tuesday I managed a partial session. Today, another partial session, but Thursday and Friday look good.

Unlike Real Gyms, the Rehab Center (($25 a month for a "Wellness" membership) isn't open on weekend.
