    Checking Back In

    Thank you everyone on here. I'm taking things slowly, one day at a time and certainly have to plan my exit strategy carefully. I've been able to open to my mom about what's going on at home and when things get closer, I'll delve into the more serious things like the large amount of debt. The...

    Checking Back In

    I wanted to thank everyone on here for their support. I'm making progress and heading in the right direction regarding work. Last week, I officially was certified in Basic Life Support/CPR/AED from the American Heart Assn. It was a fun and informative class and I learned a lot. And that the...

    Disc quality

    I’ve had the same problem. It spins and loads and is very slow to go through the fbi and safety warnings . I can hear a lot of clicking too. Killer Legs did the same thing to me .

    Bootcamp videos

    I absolutely love ICE Boot camp Circuit too! I did it yesterday and upped my weights on some of the exercises and it’s a great workout and I didn’t even add on the blizzard blast because of time constraints.

    Final thoughts on new workouts

    Years ago when I had an elliptical, I got one of Cathe’s cycling dvds and tried to modify it using the elliptical. The machine I had was one that had adjustable stride length so I set it to the shortest stride and would do a semi squat holding onto the stationary bars on the console and it was...

    A Long Time Coming

    Thank you all once again. And that is what I'm trying to do. Break things down and focus on one thing at a time. Someone on here once said about going through paramedic training that you can only handle one problem at a time. I started my online training in early November and a few weeks...

    A Long Time Coming

    Thank you. To say that I feel overwhelmed right now is an understatement. I've also been dealing with an ongoing urinary/bladder issue that I'm going to see a urogynecologist on Friday. I'm not sure if its age or hormones but after using some eczema medication last summer, I've had 3 UTI's in...

    A Long Time Coming

    Thank you so much for your kindness. I would love to get out, but the first thing I need is a job. On Friday I took two PT Aide certification practice exams and passed both of them which according to the agency is a good indictor of passing the real exam. Certification isn't necessary, but...

    My new dvds are finally out for delivery today! They were shipped on January 2 and I should’ve paid the extra less than a dollar for priority mail shipping. Lesson learned!!!

    I remember! No I haven’t bothered to call USPS because I’ve been there done that and can’t get answers anyway. If it goes back to Dallas again it’s going to be hilarious. It’s ok, it’s it like I lack for workouts!!!

    That just made me remember when Cathe is doing those push-ups in XTrain chest, back & shoulders and went something like tap the shoulders, tap your hips and she said if you get confused just pretend you’re doing the Macarena!

    Oh yeah and I told my husband yesterday that I was gonna be madder than a hornet if there was a repeat of 2021 and he said well then write a letter to your congressman. And I said sure I’ll write to senator Ted Cruz and ask if I can go to Cancun too when he flees the state when the grid goes...

    I’m in Houston, Texas and I saw on the news that next Monday - Wednesday is going to get really cold, like into the 20’s with a chance of snow flurries. My biggest worry is that this won’t be a repeat of the winter storm in 2021 that left most of Texas, the self proclaimed energy capital of the...

    A Long Time Coming

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate everyone's support. Just having this place to share and heal makes a huge difference. I'd love to see a psychologist but right now there's not the money for it. My health insurance doesn't cover mental health care. I did, however see a licensed...

    A Long Time Coming

    Thank you so much everyone! I'm scheduled for my American Heart Assn Basic Life Support and AED Training on the evening of Jan 25. I'm going to hit the ground running tomorrow after I do Athletic Training and get the ball rolling on finding out my eligibility to take a PT Tech/Aide...

    A Long Time Coming

    I love James Taylor especially the song Fire and Rain. He’s got such an incredible voice. They dont make music like that anymore.

    A Long Time Coming

    Thank you everyone! I'm so happy to report that I took my final exam today and scored a perfect 100%! I now have a certificate of completion from the University of Houston for my training! My mom and step dad are so proud of me and I'm proud of me. I've sold quite a bit of things on eBay...

    A Long Time Coming

    I hope everyone's had a great start to the New Year. I've been super busy with getting close to finishing my school. I'm having my annual mammogram on Friday. I've booked my hair appointment. I need to schedule my CPR/AED training. Gotta get the oil changed in my car and I think I'm going...

    New DVD slow to load?

    Now it seems to be ok after taking it out and starting it over a few times. Weird.

    New DVD slow to load?

    I’m planning my workouts for the week and am previewing Killer Legs. Has anyone else noticed the new discs being slow to load or making weird noises as mine is doing now? My player is making a lot of noise and the disc just froze. I’ve never had problems with any Cathe DVDs. Guess I need to...
