Barefoot & On the Mat, 8/25 - 8/31; "August is like the Sunday of summer."
"August is like the Sunday of summer."
~unknown I thought I would start us off this week since I didn't post yesterday (DH and I took a day trip); I figured that everyone could find something to like in this quote! It seems perfect for me because after having most Mondays off for several months, I'm finally back to a normal schedule, working a full 5-day week this week! Of course, Labor Day next weekend temporarily gives me my 3-day weekend back. Welcome to our checkin!!! We are a diverse group of "barefoot" exercisers - that includes yoga, Pilates, barre, Classical Stretch/Essentrices, kettlebells, or any other fitness activities that YOU choose to do barefoot. We vary between being more quiet and very chatty, and we always love to have new people chime in. There are no rules for joining us - you can post your workouts or not. We'd love to hear from you! I haven't exercised for today yet, so I'll be back later this afternoon for my weekly workouts post.

I'm in sound bath withdrawal and hope the yoga studio will be hosting one before too much longer. I've been sitting with a big decision and have found listening to the meditations to be helpful. And even though I know work will be beyond crazy when I get back tomorrow, I don't feel any stress about it. Beth - I'll definitely be doing the 5 minute arms video again at some point and trying some of her other short videos - those will be great for Stealth Fitness breaks. Which HRM do you have? I remember you mentioning getting one several years ago. I'd like to replace my old Polar Beat which came over on the Mayflower and I literally wore it until it fell apart. I don't need/want all the fancy bells and whistles. I finally picked up a replacement battery for my old pedometer this past week - now I need to find the little tool that you use to unscrew the back and change the battery and get it re-calibrated. Sandra - We had a slight break in the heat today - finally - but I'm sure August isn't ready to give it up just yet! Garrie - I've been thinking about doing some Jari work-outs, too. Hopefully things will calm down at the bookstore this week - and thankfully you weren't new for all the craziness! Paine - KV is great with stretching, isn't she? Waves to ALL.

cyana, I think I have a Polar F16? I did get a new one a few years back and like it a lot better than my cheap old one. You definitely had Frankenworkouts these past 2 days! Is your big decision work-related (if you can say)? I do find that meditation helps me to settle my thoughts a bit.

Wow, the first day of classes here has started with a bang!
I have a problem only vidiots could appreciate. I mentioned that I needed a new battery for my HRM - well, I was hoping to get one at lunch today but didn't have time, and I can't stop after work either. So now I'm thinking about postponing my cardio workout today for fear that it won't "count"! Ridiculous, I know...
