Daily Check-in Tues 4-4

Morning ladies. Today was Low Max followed by C&W heavy weight upper body compound premix. I have never done this premix before, but it seems to do a really good job for only being 18 minutes long.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Well, I have to do this fast. Things at work are a mess. We just learned that a third of our employees are getting the axe and will be gone at the end of June. Fortunately I'm not one of them.

Didn't work out yesterday because I was too much in shock. Won't work out today because I need to go buy food.

Don't ask me why I bothered to check in today!!!!

Happy workouts, everyone. Maybe if everyone does a minute or two extra for me, I'll still get in a decent workout. ;-)
 
Heather and Pamela, thanks for the prayers, Heather I did lose my mom, back in January plus, my bil was undergoing chemo for Non-Hodgins Lymphoma (he is now cancer free), my aunt was dying (in the hospital before my mom & not expected to live) but is somewhat better now (all this was going on before and while my mother was in the hospital and later died). My mom went into the hospital after my aunt was sent home on hospice care.

Our house is in a constant state of renovation and we are out of money to fix it and our construction loan comes due in June. I have had no kitchen for almost a year now, we still have one room to gut, and others to finish with paint, flooring, cabinets, carpet, trim, lighting, and electrical fixtures. We have lived liked this for over 3 years to this extent at least but in varying states since we bought the house 9 years ago.

I am looking at going back to work because we need the money to help with the house, and I homeschool my boys so I have to have a evening job because I really don't want to put them in public school.

It is just one thing after another and I can't honestly take much more. My dh is depressed over it all, and I can't tell him that I am depressed also otherwise that will put him in even more of a glum mood and if we both aren't happy then we will have a very unhappy household and while I know it isn't good for me to keep it bottled up inside I can't afford for my dh to become more depressed and down than he already is. I therefore exercise to help myself with the depression and while it is becoming increasingly hard to exercise I am still managing most days to do it.

Sorry this is now a novel of my life but I honestly have no female friends to talk to so I will spill my guts here.

Thanks for listening anybody who has read this far.

I did PUB up only today with abs off of All Step and then did the 8 min. Taebo for a short cardio.:D

Edited to add: My oldest son has also just been diagnosis with scoliosis and we are facing years in a brace with him. He is 13.5 and could use the prayers while he deals with this. He is scheduled for an MRI on Thursday to rule out any other causes for his rapidly increasing curvature.

Thanks again!!
 
Bless you Annette. I have no words of wisdom but I'll be thinking of you and yours and praying that you find a solution to your problems really soon!

50 mins. interval run is complete. Was striving for 60 mins to match an IMAX in length but I don't think missing 10 mins is a big deal!;) I came home, ate lunch and then did 100 walking lunges, 50 w/weights and 50 w/o. Now it's FINALLY time to hit the shower! :+
 
Wow Annette, I didn't realize you've been through so much !!
Anyone would feel like you do now !

Try to give yourself credit and not be so hard on yourself, you've been incredibly strong !!!

You have my prayers and hopes that things get better for you very soon!!!

Exercise and friends DO help, so I hope you keep coming here. You have friends here & we're always willing to listen!!!!;)
 
(((((((((((((Hi Annette)))))))))) I just read you post and felt the need to send you a huge hug and let you know that I ached for you as I read through it. So many sad turns and losses in such a short time. I will pray for your son, 13.5 is hard enough without having to face health issues. He is blessed to have such a loving and dedicated Mother. I admire your spirit and commitment to taking care of yourself by exercising when you can and getting some of it out. You are in prayers too, Annette, I know that your trust and faith in God will carry you through to the better days that are coming.

Take Care
Laurie:)

everyone does such interesting premix workouts. i need to start using these more.

Annette, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The bright note I saw in your post was that your BIL is cancer free. I'm glad he was about to be put in remission. You obviously are a lot stronger than you think. Keep exercising even when you don't feel like it, I'm sure it is part of what has kept you strong to this point. Post your thoughts/feelings anytime you want, we'll listen. {{HUGS}}

Welcome SunnyD, I look forward to "seeing" you on the check-in.

I just finished Step and Weight circuit (the 68 minute one) off SB/SJP. I loves those circuits on that DVD!!
