Husband is great when he's great and gets on my nerves when he gets on my nerves. You know, the kind of husband that keeps things interesting.
Aren't ALL husbands like this???
I hear ya on the lack of motivation - I've been there before! I like your idea of finding a class to take! Hope you can find something that helps you get your mojo back!
If I'm around, I promise to come to your funeral and say, "Damn she's ripped!"
You know I hate to say it, but the older generation always seem to talk about how good/bad folks look in a casket.

All husbands (and wives) are really annoying when they are annoying. But it's the stuff that I just can't adequately quantify with words that make mine the one for me. But you're right about lucky. I've had an "unlucky" one.

On another note, I made the mistake of visiting John's log and deciding to try out the tennis ball glute release suggested to him. I say mistake because I then continued down my legs (+ rolling pin), back, arms.
I was given this tennis ball after a massage but never put it to much use. I put it to use today. I am now convinced that I need to purchase a foam roller and stick.
HOWEVER, it's a good job I've had babies because I had to use some labor breathing techniques to continue this activity. Half-way through I had to take off the long-sleeve shirt I was wearing because I was SWEATING like I was doing a workout.
Now every time I see Julie mention a lacrosse ball, I'm going to swear she was a dominatrix in some former incarnation (but I still think she's the sh*t).
Pondering a workout.

I got a card, heart-shaped box of chocolates, and a rose. After reading the card, I about lost it. Tried the chocolates. They are good. Couldn't find a vase for the rose, so it's in a spaghetti jar.
On my way to airport to get my baby.

Just checking in, Tracey. I like this note:

I've thought a lot about individual vs. team / group fitness. DH always talks about having a home gym some day, and it makes me realize just how much energy I feel from others at the gym or at the boathouse. What about looking for a good yoga class?

I agree. But it's pretty easy with me as "Thank you" and "I appreciate" are my most favorite presents.

I did laugh. Then I thought about leaving them there & pretending like I'd never found them. But then I knew he'd know I had found them any way.

Thank you Kate.

I found a good yoga studio & took a class there, however, for me, yoga is a solitary activity. I get just as much enjoyment from a good DVD/TV routine as a good class.
But I agree with you about the team aspect. Us regulars in the classes I attended always cheered each other on (or commiserated as need be).
__________________ Just because your mother thinks you're special doesn't mean I do
A woman who teaches Tai Chi (and does massage therapy) has become a White Belt Nia instructor, and I decided to go check out her class yesterday.
Dropped daughter at airport, went back home for ½ hr, then went to find class. Got to street and it said North instead of South. Thought I got turned around and went back toward home. Stopped at a fire station to ask directions (because my map "showed" me I was close) and had a nice ditzy conversation with the good-looking gentlemen who very patiently got me oriented (they turned my google map upside down and told me that the "North" only lasted a short while & if I had kept driving I would have gotten to the "South").
Got to the location & it was a church (but not identified as one) and no one in the parking lot. My phone starts ringing off the hook & I see it's my mom (so I ignore thinking I'll call back after the class). I call the number for what I think is supposed to be a studio and find I'm in the right location, just that they are parked across the street and someone will come down to let me in the security doors (thank goodness I copied the number off the web site).
Get in there and she is very friendly and asks me how I know about Nia. Since she is a white belt, I didn't want her to feel as if I were there to critique her, however, she was so welcoming, I felt I needed to just come out and say I was one too.
Short version: instead of it being an instructed class, she actually put on the teacher's instructional DVD (with only music playing), and we (she, I, and 2 of her friends, and sometimes the instructors bored daughter -- who played with me during freedance by pretending she was a dog) kind of danced the routine. I had much more fun than I imagined I would. She invited me back, and I will go.
Then when I get out of class, I call my mom's house. Come to find out they were calling me because we had a BOMB threat at the airport & they wanted to find out if my baby had gotten out. Baby got out & had left a message on my phone that she was at her connection. Turns out the "bomb" was a band's name on a sticker on a bike "This bike is a pipe bomb." I'm glad all that mess was unknown to me because I would have seriously wasted some anxiety trying to get back to that airport.

It's kind of sad that we've become almost obsessive about security in the airports. I know that it's probably necessary, but the last time I was on a flight (or the last time I remember) the most interesting point was them taking my mother's corkscrew away from her. Yes, my 70-something, white-haired mother, a dangerous passenger with her corkscrew. I'm seriously waiting for them to figure out that a pair of eyeglasses could be used (broken) as a weapon and we'll all have to fly blind.
Anyway, glad it was nothing, and really glad that you didn't know it was going on at the time. Much better to hear about it later on.

I'd never done overhead squats (scared of bar + shoulders). Any way, I watched Dan John's discussion of OLY lifting & played along as it was running. Then decided I wanted to try. Still had to look at the squat rx on this in order to determine how the arms should track so it didn't tip me back. Loved them (and I have no hesitation about dumping the bar).
What I'm listening to:
Enjoy.

I love Overhead Squats. They are most certainly a new favorite of mine.
And, your YouTube addition is a great reminder to me that I should not be looking at this forum while my students are taking an essay test.

Finally peeking into your log and... what do I see, you doing OH squats, recommending solitary yoga (am going to transform a room in the house for yoga & massage) and.. talking about sweet & sour SO's
Naw. I'm excited. Real stick-to-the-ground & can throw a snowball snow rarely happens here. I was just so surprised as I rarely turn on the tv & even more rare listen to the local news. So I couldn't believe that in the span of 2 hours, I look out my kitchen window & see winter wonderland.

All that on just 1 page
Glad you stopped by for a peek. From your synopsis, looks like I've achieved my conversational tone.
