Hot Yoga, anyone?

I'm trying to think "outside the box" of fun ideas to get toned and in better shape....

Here's a fun one...

HOT (100 degrees, people!) YOGA!

Very challenging and yet relaxing, and reasonable rates for virgin yogis. :) Most classes are 60 or 90 minutes and most places offer 10 classes for $10!

There are studios all around the area, Kirkland and Issaquah are the ones I'm familiar with.

So grab your leotards and your spandex! (and a towel and a lot of water!)

Issues

Is anyone else having problems when trying to comment on other posts? Perhaps it's just my crappy work computer...?

OK i'm in....

So, this is the first time i've done a group goal thing like this... im really wanting to stay motivated!!

I'm planning on joining Seattle Fitness Club (just moved to new apt without a gym, boo) and i get a discount through my apartment complex.... next week! I just HATE the first initial time of going and feeling all awkward.... AGH! But-the time has come where i know i need to do this and be serious about it, i am SO SICK of feeling like a big blob. ewww.

ok... until next time ladies....happy FRIDAY!

Damn Blogger

I was going to just comment on Rachel's original post, but blogger is being crappy and not allowing me to. So, Rach, here's my response. Perhaps some of you can weigh in as well.

I really want to do Rachel's workout class, but Gold's is super expensive. $70 a month! That's crazy. I'll have to find a way to justify it. I mean, the 7 day pass is great, but I want to find something permanent. Once you join, can you go to other locations? Maybe they'll give me a registration discount because I'll be quitting another gym to join. (that's what allstar fitness offered.)

Pros: Rachel works out there so I could have a buddy and there's one right here by the hospital so I could go after work as well.

Cons: $70 a month!!!!!

The Drop a Jeans Size Diet

I found this through a friend from www.fitnessmagazine.com.

The neat thing is that this is REAL found that's healthy for us so hypothetically easy to incorporate (and inexpensive) to put into our every day on the go lives.

I really like the vanilla peach toast.

I'm super excited!!!

I'm so excited to do this! You know you are out of shape when you mention to friends and family that you are doing a triathlon and they laugh... It's all good though! It's just firing me up to lose weight! I work out at the Bellevue Athletic Club in Bellevue. However, I want to go for a few bike rides through the trails at Marymoore. Let me know if you are interested!

THE GIST.

We all have short and long term goals. I think it would be helpful for us to celebrate short, mid, and long term goals.

Here's my proposal-


Start (weigh-in): April 1st (how appropriate, April Fools!)
Short-Term goal: July 1st (think: shorts & tank tops...)
Mid-Term goal: October 1st (think: sexy halloween costumes...)
Long-Term goal: January 1st (think: OMG! my resolution is already done!)


This being said, I'm not sure how you'd like to proceed with prizes. I thought perhaps we could have a separate contest per goal. That way, everyone has a chance to come out on top. So you don't make the short-term goal? Get your money back when you win the mid-term goal!

I think we should all commit to $20 per person to be paid to the biggest % loser for each goal date. Also this way, if you're only in this for the 3 month goal, you're not committed for the 6 or 9 month. Does everyone agree with this?

Remember, the more ladies we get to join us before April 1st, the higher the pot!

Now let's hear your comments!!!

It's official!

So here we are.

All of you should now have permissions to post on this site. I'm not sure how it works since I created this blog under my account, but it seemed to work fine for Rachel, so I think we're good. Please let me know if you have any questions. I've added a few links that I personally enjoy, please feel free to add your own as well.

This blog will serve to keep in contact on our way to our goals. It is my hope that we will use this blog to coordinate walks around greenlake, share recipes, and bitch about sore muscles.

I will write a separate post now to go over the details...

WELCOME!!!!!

Killer work out class

Hi Gals.

Does anyone live in the Bothell/Woodinville area? I go to Gold's Gym in Kirkland and Woodinville and there's an AMAZING class called BodyPump that I've been doing for several years now. Its amazing! Anyone want to go sometime? (I think you can get free week passes online)
