Hive mind question: I've been trying to do a short yoga video and some weight bearing exercises daily. Is it better to do the yoga first and the weights second or vice versa?
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think I would do weights first, then yoga.

Thanks, Strix. That was my therapist's suggestion as well. I've been doing it wrong.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
sj, the general rule of thumb is to do any weight-training first, followed by cardio/mobility. You get a much bigger benefit that way. Sometimes, it's the opposite though, and that's OK. What I have figured out is, at the end of the day, it's just important to MOVE. Especially when starting out or back up again.

Thanks, Maria. I have been feeling better this week since I have been exercising regularly. I can't do a lot, which is frustrating. But I do what I can of the yoga video and I curse at the DVD when I can't do a move and wait for it to go on to the next thing. I'm doing a small amount of weight bearing exercises, and also trying to move more in general, even if that just means doing laundry more often. I was thinking of getting a fitbit, and when I looked at their website I saw they were coming out with a new model that you can wear on your wrist. So I signed up to be notified when that product becomes available.

Our wings are not tired.
I am the lone person in the office. I went to Costco this morning so I didn't get here until 1. We hadn't had a call since 10:30. Yay! So I sent the rest home.
Yesterday I decided to invite a bunch of relatives and close friends for Easter if they didn't have plans. They all said yes! Guess I am not the only last minute girl. So about 20 on Sunday. One aunt said her employer gave her a ham so she is bringing that. So yes, I went to Costco this morning. Crazy busy! Oh well, I have my recipes together, just deciding on a rum runner punch type thing. I bought mango nectar and pomegranate juice and I have rum. I think I might need pineapple juice. We'll see.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ooh! I will sign up for notifications for that as well! That would be something I'd actually wear. Thanks, sj!

You're welcome. I can't see myself actually wearing the other model or sleeping with it.

Yeah, I call this holiday "Good Parking Friday."

I'm off until Tuesday, but that's because I'm taking vacation time. Our company doesn't have any paid holidays around this weekend.
I am PACKED for the Vampire Ball! I need to finish my coffee, brush my teeth, and change clothes, and then I am ready to go catch the BoltBus down to PDX.
