Even a little bit of tai chi at home ought to help your back, Andrea, as long as you remember to move slowly and take deep breaths. For years I was on prescriptions meds for what they said was arthritis in my shoulders and back. Now, they think it was poor circulation because of the heart valve. Anyway, I haven't had to take any prescription pain meds in a couple of years now as I have been working with the qi gong. It really helps! Good luck and be kind to yourself. You, too, Liz!

We spent about 2.5 hours up in the hills, today, walking around my ex-husband's property. It was rugged with a very slight grade, so I figured, between sits, I did about 90 minutes of good walking/hiking and my feet do NOT hurt! And, I didn't get out of breath, once, so I know I have recovered a lot of the breathing capacity the pneumonia took away 1.5 years ago.

Another 30 mins on the WiiFit - I'm starting to like this... :D

I haven't noticed any great weight changes but my frozen shoulder is improving, having been getting progressively more painful again over the last 6-8 months.

Well I have made the Lent resolution to stick hard to my points allowance. Due to my current bad back my doctor has banned me from any "proper" exercise classes for the time being, although I shall be at my Tai Chi class this week as usual... now all I need to do is practise it more at home!

It's weigh-in tomorrow again, and I HAVE at least lost my first half stone, since I began in October. The problem I have is that for most of my life I was either skinny, or at least within weight range. Then the "m" word happened a few years ago, and so I am in a constant battle with my lack of hormones. The only thing that seems thinner is my hair!

1st of March and a new exercise class tried today! I did a 4 mile walk, an hours body balance class which is a mix of thai chi, yoga and pilates and it's great! Step aerobics followed for an hour. I feel great!

As Maggie noted in the new decluttering thread, we've been at this awhile. So...in a look-where-we've-been kind of vein, here's how I started the thread for March 2008:


WELCOME TO THE THIRD MONTH!!


Please post your fitness/letting go of weight goals, as you meet them by the day/week/monthly. Also, feel free to post your goals in your first posting. Encouragement/chatting is okay, as long as it is kept to a minimum. I will delete any extra stuff. Also, at the end of the month, I will delete all and we will start over.

(I had cleaned up the old thread and started it over, last night, but cannot find it, so this is an entirely brand-new, shiny thread!)

Have fun and good luck!

Feel free to make suggestions!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obviously we've done a bit more chatting, but I don't think we've been too excessive about it and I think it has been helpful. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

As Maggie said in her thread, "March On!"
