Several years ago I got hooked on Yvette Bachman’s free workouts on YouTube and it resulted in me buying a Bosu and kettlebells. Instead of traditional kettlebells, I bought a set from Hyperwear Sandbell. I have 2 kettlebell handles, a barbell pole and assorted soft sand filled weight plates...

I can’t think of a better place to be right now than on the beach in Hawaii!!!! I haven’t been on a vacation since 2006. Hey maybe I should look for a PRN nursing assistant gig in Hawaii!!! Aloha! Luca would love running on the beach!

I'm very happy to report that I got my first good news on my job search! On Monday afternoon, I received a call from Memorial Assistance Ministries that I was accepted into their free Certified Nursing Assistant training program!!!!!! This is a huge blessing for me because not only is this...

Thank you, that is so sweet and I hope its true! I had my meeting at the community charity organization in hopes of getting selected for the Nurse Aide training and found out there are 87 other people who have applied to the program. The man who interviewed me was so rude, talked down to me...

I did Athletic Training yesterday and smiled when Cathe said “let’s clean up our little toy room!”

I exercised my civic duty! I voted!

Thank you so much my friend. My husband approached one of his friends yesterday about borrowing against the gold investment, in other words, getting an advance on something that may never materialize. This friend is worth millions and told him he'd think about it. Meanwhile, at least he got a...

I like Al too. Im not sure if it’s the filming or just my old tv, but in the STS 2.0 total body workouts , Al is almost cut out of the picture. I also liked Kate from Ripped With HIIT. I gotta say that bonus abs #1 from RWH is the best ab workout I’ve ever done. I love the flow of standing...

Updates on the job search front. I'm going in several new directions. No callbacks of any kind, not even for the house cleaning company I applied with almost 2 weeks ago. The Physical Therapy Aide/Tech jobs just aren't there and I can't wait for something to open up. I've got 20 something...

All of my fitness friends are here on this board. None of my friends or family is into intense exercise like I am. Well, I take that back, Hunter, my young enough to be my son next door neighbor is a fitness fanatic, avid bodybuilder and was like Mr. Colorado when he was in college. We talk...

47 and proud Cathlete since 2009!

The man who lives across the street from me just turned 104 on leap day. His (much younger) wife was outside on the driveway last week and Jim was planting seeds in a pot. At 104! They have a caregiver who comes daily as well as night care but it’s mainly to help his wife and give her a...

Thank you for your kindness. I’m doing the best I can at the moment and have kept up with my Cathe workouts even dialing down intensity or taking a day off as needed. I’ve got like 18 job applications out including 3 I put out today. I’m also considering either training to become a CNA...

Thank you and you as well. I’m sitting here in tears and my husband and I were just arguing because his family is constantly asking him if I’ve found a job and they are well meaning with suggestions like, she loves to exercise why doesn’t she apply to be a personal trainer? It’s hard to...

I liked Deazie too and remember her from the original STS and some of the Shock Cardio workouts. I read that she’s from Texas, attended the university of Texas at Austin and was either a cheerleader or on the Pom squad while in college!
