Three topics

1) Decision on Spring Tri

I’m not going to do it. My fitness routine is working really well for me right now. I feel better than I have for months. I can't imagine switching things up & I’m not in that big of a hurry to add in cycling and swimming right now.

Seriously - if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! I’ll do a few triathlons later in the season just like last year.

I'm happy with this decision.

2) More about my Yoga DVDs

I tested Dance the Chakras. I like the two yoga sets and three of the “dance” portions. Since it has the Matrix option, I can program it each time to deliver this workout to me. The rest of the DVD I won’t use – this turns out to be about half of it. If I paid full price, that would make me unhappy. However, it cost me a grand total of $9 including shipping from ebay so I’m fine with it.

Anyway, when I reviewed these Ana & Ravi DVDs before I should have mentioned something about that. My satisfaction would have been lower if I had paid full price.

Except for Yoga Beauty Body. I really like that one.

3) As promised - Why I moved

As some have guessed, the move was related to a certain wellness site and my decision to sever ties with them. There were several things about the site that made me uncomfortable (including them indicating that I was a “patient expert” - huh?? I'm an IT consultant!!) as well as some shady practices that have been documented on other sites. I was able to put this all behind me by having them remove my profile & old posts and by me shut down my old blog completely.

That’s all I have to say about that.

On a positive note, my blogger domain name now matches my blog title and that makes me happy.

  6. I envy your decision actually. I'm in a quandary myself with what to do about MY spring Tri. I think I'm going for it, but I sure am dragging my feet along the way. :(

  7. I'm not a fan of being able to use any less than 100% of a product I've purchased either. Better than 0%, I guess :)

    Sounds like a good decision on the tri. I'm hoping to have my decision made on the marathon this weekend or next week.

  17. Much better to feel comfortable about all aspects of your life, whether it's races or blog-associates!

  18. Glad your're still blogging and that you're happy about the change. Also good about being able to do a cafeteria style for your yoga. I'm sure I would like it better if I could do that too. As for the spring tri, it can be stressful trying to get all that other training in, so waiting should make it easier all the way around.

  19. Interesting. I'm glad you got it all worked out. The internet can be weird sometimes.
