I've had an off-and-on winter, unfortunately - a couple of weeks where I was feeling under the weather and super busy - didn't take the time to go to the gym. I've been better for the last month - getting more and more into yoga.

Don't worry PI - you'll get it back. Recovering after being sick takes a little while...good for you for going to that spin class. Just be kind to yourself! Some yoga will get the gunk out of your nose and throat, eh? :)

I fell off the wagon for a few weeks too due to illness, but got back on - if I can do it, being a lazy hibernating bear given the eastern Canadian winter, you can!

Today, I did one hour of yoga. Five days straight of yoga plus other things like cardio and/or weight lifting have resulted in muscles hurting that I didn't even know I had. Even my ribs hurt...

I also started this today: http://www.hundredpushups.com/

My initial results were saaaaaad! I want to build my upper body strength.
 
Thanks girlie!
I planned on Yoga tonight but got stuck in the interwebs after some financial planning.

I take a kickboxing class Tuesday night that incorporates 50 push ups after the first 30 min and then 50 at 60 minutes.
My goal is to get off my knees after 40 and get 100 solid! Maybe it is 30 at this point before I drop.

You're awesome. Seriously. I could only do 8 before I started to drop...push-up pussy right here. That's why I'm doing the challenge. I want to make my girly arms more beefy. ;) That, and generally build my upper body strength, as I've noticed in yoga that the asanas that require upper body strength (like chaturanga dandasana) make me quiver like my dog does when I'm cooking bacon.
