Doreen, I had Cathe Live for a year and I found that having a record of the workout and weights used was very helpful. I can never move as fast as Cathe. I have two barbells (garage sales), so I often have them set up at different weights before the workout. I'm thinking that I'll ask for Live...

Diane Sue, I've never had a bad reaction with antibiotics before. This time, for whatever reason, they put me on an antibiotic that I have never taken before (and never will again). I'm doing homeopathic alternatives today. I only had 2 pills left so I did get most of them down. I just couldn't...

Stopped the anitbiotics last night and am much better today. The stabbing back pain is gone (but feels bruised) but my right foot still feels like it is broken. I'll give it some time for that to heal up before I try any workouts. I'm going back to my home remedies for uti since I'm now off the...

I still have 3 more pills left, but I'm stopping the pills. I am in agony. Last night my mid back started hurting bad. It hasn't been like this since prior to my surgeries in 2000. The pills are doing something to joints, tendons, muscles, etc. I can't see my extisting doctor since I can't get...

Taking a few days off. This antibiotic is doing a number on me. My right foot hurts so much along with my right breast. Yesterday I suffered from nausea again. Just going to finish this antibiotic and get it out of my system before trying to workout again. It is messing with me. Keep up the...

Today I did PRS #1 (ran through all the combos and finishers 2x). Was not creative with workouts today. Doreen, I don't think I could do headphones. I sweat more than any other person I know when I workout. I have to take breaks between step combos to wipe down myself, the step and floor to be...

Belinda, I hope the vet comes up with something. Poor Baby,

Diane, I guess this was a new labeling that occurred in 2008 by the FDA on certain antibiotics. I've added the link to WebMd about the warning. http://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/news/20080708/fda-warning-cipro-may-rupture-tendons I'm on Cipro which I've never been on before. I have been on...

Today my stomach was ok so I did a lighter workout, Lower Impact Circuit Lower Body followed by 4DS LIS. There are big warnings with the antibiotics about tendon pulls or tears. I figured I would just do low impact stuff for the next couple of weeks. Don't want to compound my problems. Keep up...

Not up to anything today. Did not get much sleep. The doctor put me on an antibiotic and it is making me nauseated at this point. I hope everybody else is doing well and have a great weekend.

Doreen, I know the feeling. That was me at 1:30 this morning, I finally gave in and got up. Just about 3 hours total last night. Most days I can cope, but after a while I have a tendency to break down where I just start crying on little things. My DH is at least understanding about it. And I can...

Ok, after getting some not so great results from the doctor today from my bloodwork, I'm calling war on menopause and this weight gain. My LDL went up over 35 points (since I'm vegetarian and about 80% vegan) it is either hereditary or as I found out today from the doctor, women over 50 in...

Belinda, best wishes for Brawler.

Another night of no sleep at all. It took me a long time to get up to working out today. I did Low Max followed by the Fit Tower Legs, Glutes, and Abs dvd. Great workouts everyone. Keep up the good work.

Belinda, I think you could use Afterburn. It moves so very fast that you don't really use heavy weights, it is more metabolic conditioning than strength. When she uses a heavier weight she only uses one at a time. Diane Sue, I'm trying to concentrate on how much easier and better I'm working...
