Hi girls,
I know its late but I'm back with personals.
Belinda- You are a superstar, what a killer workout for you today. WTG!!!
I got my Aero Jump/Sculpt DVD's by Michael Olajide Jr, from
www.totalfitnessdvds.com (they do ship oversees you'd have to check the details to be sure). I live in Oregon and the dvds I got Aero Barre and Aero Jump/Sculpt were over $19 and I got free shipping, that only applies within the us. When you check out I type in 10off in the coupon code part and it takes 10% off. You might check them out, they also sell beachbody stuff at this other site
www.totalfitnessdvds.net. I did order the Bob Harper dvd's and had no troubles I did get a shipping notice today and I ordered yesterday, so as far as I can tell it seems to be ok.
Debbie- Oh No! Sorry to hear about your knee. I know how you feel. I'm sure the workout you did today was not knee injury friendly at all. I'd suggest maybe doing none weight leg workouts, such as, band work as in Travel fit or in Butts and Guts floor work only, or even KCM's Body Toning which is excellent and DOMS making sort of stuff, but easier on the knees. I'm learning about how to take care of my knees and what weight work I can do and how to modify it for my knee issues. Please take it easy and go lighter on the legs or knees until they are ok. Now that one knee is injured the other knee will try to compensate which means its more apt to overuse injury. Please be careful and modify. Take care my friend.
Killer workout today btw, but you always do killer workouts.
Melissa- Bravo on your early am workout and CTX Leaner Legs and CTX Back work done. Awesome job today!
Heather- Nice workout today with KPC (drills + 3 combos) and abs that sounds awesome, Great job!!!!
Jessica-Take it easy on your evening run in muggy weather, keep hydrated or tie a cold wet scarf around your neck to help. Your a brave lady to even consider a run in that kind of weather, for me it would be very bad with my MS.
Chris- I know what you mean I've been tracking my Turbo Fire anxiously awaiting its arrival, last time I looked its in Ohio. I guess that's progress it started off in IL and I'm in OR so its on its way probably another day or two
The fatigue is really kicking my butt big time and its been muggy here so that just compounds things for me. I only take Avonex for MS I could take other things for the fatigue, but I hate taking a bunch of drugs. Plus, I can barely afford my Avonex every month which stresses me out. I know I could get a prescription for something to make me feel more awake but I don't want to do that. Some drugs work the opposite on me than what they are supposed to. I know weird huh. When I get really really sick and feel like I'm burning up and hot to the touch my temp runs below normal, go figure!
I appreciate your well wishes and suggestion about taking something to help but I'm scared of taking medications and their side effects. I know Avonex has some scary ones to be aware of so I'm sort of traumatized about all of that. I've been on Avonex for 4 years now and I still have to premedicate with Aleve before I inject and take Extra Strength Tylenol's after. Usually there is about 2 to 3 hours from the time I premedicate w/aleve and then ice my thigh for 15 minutes before I inject then take post injection over the counter pain killers. The side effects I experience if I don't do that is major intense flu symptoms with full on fever, chills,bodyaches, etc.. that lasts for 24 hours. I try to desperately avoid that experience as it really drains me. I'm trying to get a little more sleep as my symptoms definitely worsen with exhaustion. Lately, it seems a slight tendancy for drop foot when tired, and balance can be wonky at times.
Enough, about me. OOh cardio hits! I have that one its fun, I know you'll have fun with that one.
Roxie- Oh no, please drink lots of water especially in warmer weather. Its so important. I went to Australia's Outback a few years ago and that's the first thing they told passengers on the shuttle from the airport to the resort hotel. Infact, we were told to drink a minimum of a liter or a maybe it was a gallon an hour to keep you from getting heat stroke. I drank that much I thought for sure I'd be a peeing machine but strangely enough that wasn't the case. So, yes lack of hydration can definitely make you feel sick. Please take care and go drink a nice cold liter of water.
That's it for me girls, I'm dying as it feels muggy in the house. I'd better go turn on the AC at this end of the house so I can sleep later. Take care girls!
Hugs!
Nora
