    FYI Did a deep dive into DDD/stenosis exercises, prevention, reversal, etc today and found this guy. https://epmpt.mykajabi.com/ He knows what’s up. He explained all the surgical and non surgical options and WOW, was I floored. I had seen the term “laminectomy” thrown around a bit. But he...

    Updated Age group poll for Cathletes doing Cathe workouts- 2024

    So far, I can’t say I’m surprised. But it definitely puts a spin on content. Glad Cathe is doing the Lift, Move, and Restore program. It’s definitely a good thing.

    Yes, Lannette! Sorry, I was in a hurry this morning. I did see the Firm/push-ups goal was smashed — way to go! That’s such an accomplishment. You should be chuffed. “Deep Water Aqua Aerobics” was a hit. Me and the 75-year-olds hit it right off. LOL 60 minutes in the books. My left arm was...

    Long Overdue Letter to Cathe with Gratitude

    You and I are soul-sisters, Braille! I have four children and my oldest two have autism. My oldest didn’t talk until he was 5. I was also told “he’ll never talk” and “he needs intensive therapy 20 hours a week” etc. We also couldn’t afford it (monetarily or otherwise). So I rolled up my...

    Putting on my swimsuit and heading out to the Y. Really looking forward to some swim time. I love the water and have always been an excellent swimmer. The leg and the arm are a little tight and tingly this morning. Hoping the water loosens everything up and gives me some alternatives. Will let...

    Weekend Check-in Saturday, March 30th & Sunday, March 31st, 2024

    Good morning! (Waves to Siobhan and Linda) Up and at em this morning! Latest update: I got a note from my Dr through the medical portal yesterday. He advised shots for pain (I don’t have pain) or an ablation for permanent relief (I don’t need permanent relief — I need my limbs to stop falling...

    Hi there! Long time no “see” ;) FINALLY got my MRI done yesterday. Results came back today: mild (20%) scoliosis with moderate central stenosis, three bulging discs, and severe facet arthropathy/hypertrophy. Two of the disc bulges contact exiting L3 and L4 nerve roots — which explains why my...

    Hey y’all! Hanging in there. :D Dr thinks I might have two compressed nerves — one in my lower back and one in my neck. The lower back is getting an MRI as soon as we can schedule it. The neck will have to wait until late April — the first available appt. (BOO) The neck might be related to...

    Daily Check-in, Monday, March 4, 2024

    Good morning! Today is up in the air. I’m pretty sure I have a compressed nerve in my back — my left leg keeps falling asleep. Going to call my Dr and see what’s up. (The same doctor who just told me I have a weak lower back and that’s it… LOL). But my left arm is also weird … I don’t know...

    Leaner Legs, I almost died LOL

    I *recently* (about six months ago) purchased the CTX collection but I’ve only done the All Step workout so far. Is this an official challenge? (Mischievous face) Because I wouldn’t say no to joining a CTX Official Challenge for a week. (Wink) If someone can program a week and post it, we could...

    Lannette — I LOVE Push Pull. One of my all time favorites. Linda — A step on the floor is absolutely, positively, 100% awesome. My reason for wanting to use a riser is just as VO2 Max measurement of improvement. My capacity for cardio tanked for years and years. A riser under my step means...

    Morning! Happy “Bonus Day” of 2020-2024 LOL Meeting with my nutritionist today and I’m slightly smug to be able to report that I’ve lost 5lbs since we last met two weeks ago. I also did my measurements last night. I’ve lost a total of 8.5 inches off my body since the last time I took...
