Hey all! A new week is upon us. Here's hoping it's a healthy one. I'm planning my week loosely around Cathe's LIS rotation for November, although I'll likely end up doing express versions of the DVDs given my wonky leg. My workout goals for the week: M: After Burn + a walk of some kind...

Hi Rosepetals - so sorry to hear your symptoms flared. At least you got in a workout of some kind, and I personally find errands and chores more fatiguing than just concentrating on a single workout, so take heart. I've just been reading about T-Tapp at another fitness blog I frequent, and she...

So I was perhaps a bit ambitious - did the upper body express from Total Body Trisets (the 20 minute one), loaded up on weight a bit so it was a good challenge, then walked around the block. I love the cold sunny weather, but it was icy, and footing wasn't great...so my left leg was shot just by...

Snow.... Yup - snow on the ground. Just a bit, and it's nice and sunny, but also windy and cold. Trying to wrangle my visiting cousin to go for a walk in the woods with me :) I much prefer hiking to walking on streets, and we live really close to the wilderness, but I'm not too confident...

Hang in there, Rosepetals. I have terrible menstrual cramps/heavy flow, etc., as well. Sucks to have that layered on top of MS troubles. Well, I'm still feeling off, and have this weird leg thing going on, but I've come to a decision. I'm going to work out even on days I feel crappy...

Hey all - I'm with you and Rosepetals, Jane...I'm resting again today. I'm trying to get in to see my neurologist as I'm definitely having some kind of an episode. So yesterday I had my walk but no other workout. Instead I spent the time with my cousin who is down visiting from Vancouver...

Happy Wednesday morning, everyone. I had a really bad flare up of symptoms last night...going to have to see how today goes. I may not manage my planned slide and glide workout. :( However, the sun has returned so first thing after breakfast I'm going to walk around the block at least...

Welcome Rosepetals!!! I'm glad you found us too - come join us on the **ONE DAY AT A TIME** thread for the daily check ins for sure. Even if you can't do a workout, just checking in and keeping in touch with others that have similar challenges is a great motivator, I find. I am sorry to...

Sorry Cathy - misspelled your name...must be that logo on the discs burned into my brain :p

Cathe - sorry to hear about your pain issues...are you able to rest during the day after having a bad night like that?? It's amazing you can work out at all. I just did Slide and Glide, the muscle conditioning workout (30min). It was awesome! I love those discs...and it was just the right...

THEY ARRIVED!!!! My low impact series just arrived! Guess I'll be doing one of them this afternoon :)

Hi Jane - at least you made it through Low Max :) I think most of my week will be making it through workouts while taking breaks. My horseback ride was good fun - Abbi was feeling mellow and friendly (she's a bit unpredictable!), so we even tried a bit of loping. Unfortunately I'm still...

Hi All, So far today I've managed a 30 minute walk. The weather is supposed to turn to rain tomorrow for pretty much the rest of the week, but I'm going to get out and walk for at least 20min/day this week unless my legs get really bad. I'm going to go for a short ride (horseback) later...

Hi All, This check is primarily for those of us that are dealing with chronic illness, injury, mobility issues, etc., but are still doing our best to workout everyday, and using Cathe's workouts to keep us healthy through it all! The idea is to check in daily with what we're doing that...

Hey All, Had to run shopping errands today with hubby (for home reno project) so was on my feet walking/standing for 1.5 hours...so no additional 'workout' walk as I was having leg trouble by the end of that trip. However, I did a lovely 20 minute yoga DVD, so not too bad overall for general...

Hi Nora - so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well today. Box of chocolates indeed...I felt better on Thursday and did my workout. Yesterday I had a big concert with my choir, which required standing for a couple of hours and lots of energy to sing so I rested most of the day, no workout. I...

Many thanks, Jane :) I just finished Push Pull, and managed a walk this morning as well! I didn't go super heavy on the weights as I'm still easing back into working out, and I was right that it isn't a super challenging workout by Cathe standards, but I really enjoyed it - well rounded and...

Hi Cathy - sorry to hear your aren't having a good week. I'm right there with you! Gah...so frustrating when we have the best intentions to workout and get sidetracked. :mad: Still, as you said, we need to take care of ourselves, so do that, please! Like I just said to Nora, I'm feeling a...

Hi Nora! Glad to have you join the thread. I am currently in the process of being diagnosed, and the most likely candidate is MS, actually. My neurologist wants another MRI in early January, before giving me a definite diagnosis. That, or if I get another really bad episode like I had...

Hi again! My avatar picture is Simon, a gorgeous Canadian-cross gelding who wasn't technically my horse (a friend owned him), although I rode and helped care for him for 10 years. We had to put him down this summer, which was very sad, but needed to be done. I love having pictures of him...
