welcome aboard DaBeez

We are usually more focused but lol tis the season.

hence the "whittish" lol

we have become a close group and love new folks joining. We love to share our days and lives with each other. thats why this forum is such a great motivator because we all share triumphs and challenges.

Your workout sounds very interesting. what kind of work out is gigong?
My usual routine is spinning 3 times a week and a body pump with some "up close and personal" time with the elliptical.

newhomehappy is the "whap whap" queen with her kickboxing.

so as you can see we are a well rounded type of exercise group lol and if I don't get my butt back to the gym soon some of us will be more well rounded


tlb71 the dark chocolate red & green ones are even better

Good news, everybody. Once they looked at my "photo shoot" from back north, then looked at the sets from what they shot today, everything is exactly as it has been for the past 10 years, so I'm ok. THe bad news was that the film turned out black as ink, so I had to have them done TWICE. GGGRRRRR. Oh, well.

Thanks for your concern. I'm glad they gave the results immediately. Now I don't have to wonder.

Welcome Dabeez, I just started posting on here myself. I have been reading them for awhile and my take on the thread is more along the lines of "how we fit exercise into our busy lives" and is a great motivator knowing others are out there plugging along so to speak. You sound much more motivated than I am these days,kudos! I tend to go through burn out periods, sometimes I am in the gym for 2 hours and sometimes just an hour. If I go too often my knees and right shoulder start to bother me, so I shoot for 5 days a week alternating upper/lower body.

I wish my gym offered classes as I love the bikes and would enjoy spinning, I think!
OOOHH, the dark chocolate ones are great and the almond ones also!

Great news nomoresnow! I have never had that done, but should soon!

OK< folks. You're all my good friends. I can trust you to do this for me. Next year, if I even THINK about making cookies from scratch, please just tell me to go stick my fingers in a moving blender. It would have to be more fun that I had making cookies today. Don't you just hate it when nothing goes right for you? And after all that work, the stupid things don't taste right. It's not like I've never made this recipe before. GGRRRR.

Thank you. I feel much better now.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Karla - qigong (chi gung) is sort of in between tai chi and yoga. There are moving and static (non moving) postures where you coordinate your breathing with your movements or concentrate on certain muscle groups for health. I do a lot of organ qigong postures to help stimulate "energy" (chi) and health of internal organs (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, stomach, spleen, etc). I havent been sick in years.

NMS ... your cookies are not a complete loss. I bet the birdies would enjoy them and in return you'd enjoy watching the birdies while sitting on your porch eating cinnabuns!

Welcome DaBeez. Wish I had the patience to do any type of yoga.

When I made a batch of peanut butter cookies that turned out really bad, I put them in a nice tin and gave them to my son to give his meanie school bus driver! Long, long time ago, that was.
