Good Morning Everyone,

Today I did EDT - chest/tris + an ICE Blizzard blast and 10 minutes of Supercuts

Elsie - You are definitely a brightsided person. Have you ever checked out https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/

You can do questionnaires to see if you are optimistic, pessimistic, your highest trait etc.. It's actually live research - or used to be. I've done it. My highest trait is curiosity and I am averagely optimistic but over the top on hopefulness. You might find it fun.

Linda - I feel for ya about your dog. Big hugs to you. We are here for you! I have a dog too so I get it. BTW - I am 50 - forgot to answer that question.

Ladies - I had some trouble myself this week. I had to go up to the university because my daughter was sexually assaulted on campus late at night a couple of weeks back. She managed to get away, but not before being pinned down and struggling. The boy was not a stranger to her - he just kinda Donald Trumped her but worse. She was not managing the aftermath well until she got a restraining order against him (he is not bothering her but lives on campus so she keeps running into him in the cafeteria where they all take their meals). She will get other supports too but boy did the university ever bungle the whole thing - ignored it, actually, until I got involved. We are on the other side of things now - hopefully.

Enjoy your workouts ladies.

Ceci - So sorry that your dear DD has had to experience this in her life. Disheartened that our Universities are still handling campus assaults so awfully.

Ceci, that is such a horrible thing for your dd to have gone through. Praying she continues to get the support she needs and that the boy is dealt with appropriately.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your support. The end of the week has been easier than the beginning -that's for sure. Elsie - I read your post! That is awful. And yes, it happens all too often. I am so sorry that happened to you. It happens to so many of us at some point in our lives - which is wrong. My daughter will not be pressing charges. She wants it over with. hopefully, the boy is co-operating. And it's true, they did not follow up with her for 5 days when she reported it to her Res Fellow. Disappointing, but they've really stepped up their game now that I am involved. She is feeling better. I missed some of the signs that she was struggling since she lives far away. Thank goodness she told me - even though it took a week. What do girls do when they don't have family nearby. Thankfully, most of our family is in Ottawa so she had support. Thanks again everyone. I don't normally share this kind of stuff but keeping silent about it just doesn't feel right.

Hi gals,

Last night I threw together a workout using one of my CDs that doesn't get used very often. I used mostly what moves the ladies like from my other workouts.

So I was practicing it this morning to see if the moves fit the music. I did about 30 minutes of it before realizing that we needed to get to the gym.

At the gym I only had 1 lady and I had promised her we would do some different weight work using the chair.

When I mentioned the new workout she wanted to try it,so I made 2 of the slower songs weight work and she loved it.

So between what I did at home for 30 minutes then a 55 minute kickbox circuit and 20 minutes of weight work I might be done . Whew!

Have a great day!

Hi ladies,

Siobhan - that's horrible what happened to your daughter. It's inexcusable. I hope the boy will pay for it one way or another (and I don't mean money), so there is no chance he will ever do it again. My heart goes out to your daughter and your family.

Linda - fingers crossed that your CoCo can get some pain relief and enjoy more time with you.

Today was Friday, so rest was high on my list after a day at the office, bball and then a late dinner, but I ended up doing another Shine Fitness w/o and enjoyed it! It was at least good as the one yesterday... Maybe it's growing on me. The music is great, everything that's on the charts and I am getting a better understanding of the moves. However, I still want to cancel it after this month is they ever reply to me. Not the best service when you have to wait days for a reply. That's not very 2016!

Have a gr8 weekend ladies.

Thank goodness she told me - even though it took a week.

That's because you are a great Mom & she felt safe to let you in!!
((hugs)) Thank you for sharing this with our group of women as it IS important, as you say.

Congrats on teaching your weight class, Annette. Sounds interesting.

That's so neat that you enjoy dance workouts so much Henriette. It's very good for the hips! I like dancing, but for some reason the dance workouts tend to annoy me. lol. It might be a brain thing!!

Today I did 10 pounds down (Jessica Smith) Cardio Abs 3 Total Body & the STS TB Core section. Core is my least fave workout, glad it's over with.
