Getting Our Licks In!

I have medicaid

I don't know if medicaid would cover it, and I have tons of bras in 34DD. My neighbor also said he would pay for a reduction for me, and he thought good bras were twenty dollars. They are even more than that in Fredericks which is kind of sleazy. I might do a half an hour of hi lo, and my arms.

My back is killing me. I am really small, and the doctor make me too big
 
Hi everyone. Quick check in: it's finally a rest day for me. So why am I sitting in my office at work and dressed in my exercise attire? Good question. Coaching one of my colleagues to physical fitness.

I'll try to get back later.

That is nice of u to be a coach to a co worker! U shoild b my coworker! We would have a ball!

I got the butts n guts in. Ouch my legs was feeling hard before i stopped.. Way before i stopped. I guess thats what it means when i hear "my legs are fried?" Lol loved it!
 
I managed the hi lo

plus I did my arms. I have to work out since I gained weight. Now I am 120 when I should be 110. Thank God I still fit into my size 1 jeans. I have to do step today and I dread it. I would love to do Lower Body Blast but I do not think I am up to it

Hello to all you wonderful supportive people.
 
Wow catlin.. Maybe u gained muscle ? Or was u not doing anything? It strange u gained but still ware same size pants. That is a blessing lol .. U are hanging in there nicly!
 
trying to get back on track! Love Cathe's Pure Strength Leg & Glute workout but it sure kicked my booty! So amazing how quickly I get out of shape and how long it takes to get back into shape! It's the opposite with weight too..so easy to gain and so hard to lose!:eek::mad::confused::rolleyes:

My mom is on a 3 week trip so I am basically a single mom and busy trying to do twin sale which is this weekend, figure out career options, dealing with divorce BS, and the daily grind...trying to keep my chinup and attitude positive but somedays are harder than others. Yesterday was bad today much better!!

I haven't really worked out regularly over the past 3 months and it amazes me how much better I feel today having done a Cathe workout. I feel like more of my self and like I was with old 'friends'!

I hope to get back on track but it will still be a bumpy road with some good days and bad days ahead:p:D
 
I have no idea but I started back working out

after a month. My place is on the seventh floor, and it is so hot, and it was 80 when I was working out. I did the second premix of LowMax on an eight inch step, and I did the shorter premix of Lower Body Blast. I need protein power, but I told everybody how I swindled out of a car by some very bad people, and I lost thousands of dollars. You cannot even food shop without a car here. Now these creeps want money from me to drive me anywhere. Oh I burned 700 calories and I really think I should be 110.
 
Getting my post in before the rain and thunderstorms roll through. Sister text messaged me that she lost electricity when the storm went through her part of Virginia. Hope we do not lose electric here. Did XTRAIN cardio leg blast today. This workout is starting to grow on me. I dread doing it but then it really is a blast and goes by so fast.

Laura: Good to hear from you. Divorce is just not a fun thing--no matter how hard you and your not so DH may try to do this without great discord. At least you are moving forward. I have a colleague at work who has been separated from her husband for 5 years and still no divorce--now that is crazy. So hang in there and try to find time to exercise because that is time that really is all about you and you need that. Know that we are here for you. ((((((HUGS)))))).

Caitlin: everyone struggles with their weight, size, and fitting into the clothes we love the most. I've got to say that size 1 sounds pretty darn small to me. Just make sure when you are working out that you have plenty of water handy. Do you have any fans going?

ReneeP: you never know, maybe one day we'll go to a Cathe roadtrip at the same time and get to meet and exercise together. It looks like Cathe has all her workouts available in download format now. B&G is definitely on my list to have in download version as well as the DVD. It's a workout that travels well.

I have some question i need to ask. i had my follow up at my reg Doctor yesterday.. He wanted to know what the ortho doctor said so i told him he thinks i may have RA, but i cant know for three months cause i have to see a rhumatologist.. I explained i had the blood work two years ago and it came back negitive... so i was scarred cause i know sometimes you can have it yet have a negitive reading.. but my regular Doctor then said he wants to do the blood work there and see anyway.. if it comes out negitive again he thinks i dotn need to see a rhumatologist, keep eating plant based diet and take my vitimins and keep exercising..

I do trust my Doctor and i know i feel better mentaly about it if i do this.. So they did the blood test again yesterday he called me last night to tell me it came back negitive i do nto have RA at this time. He was happy to telll me this.. My question to you ladies, if it was you would you still go to RA doctor to let them domore extensive test? Or would you let it go? And give it more time? Beleive i dont have it and go one like i have been? See i think sometime the power of suggestion is strong. if someone tells you you have something it is like you believe it and it is ... do you understand what i am saying? But i feel better mentaly thinking i dont have it and just keep trying to live normaly.. I dont want to will something on me.. if you know what i mean..

Also i beleive a plant based diet will help alot... i have been reading alot of the bible too, and i know some do not beleive this even among the christains but our diet for humnas at first was fruits nut grains and veggies it was after the flood that meat was allowed and only clean meats like chicken, fish, deer that kind not pig and so forth.. it is funny that thescience backs up what the bible says.. but anyhow.. i am asking your opinion and each may be different.

if it was you guys go on to RA doctor or leave it alone cause my blood work was Negitive? I ask also cause like i said earlier the other doc said the blood can be neg yet you still have it.. confusing but anyhow my reg doctor says not to worry now.. i amconfused as to what i should do.. my hubby says to let it go and keep doing what i have been doing and beleive i dont have it since blood came back negitive.. Plus he thinks some doctors may say you have it to get money lol so what do you think? im so happy the Blood came back negitive that is for sure!!
 
It is so good to be home! The one sister I was staying with is showing more signs of Alzheimer. She did pretty good while I was there, but I'm the one that is not use to it. She lost her cell phone and I convinced her to get a land line phone. At least I hope. The phone stays there and will be in the same place whenever she needs to use it. In the mean time she used mine for her connections. It also meant that I am being charged roaming charges. Yuck. Also where ever we went I drove. She has just moved too, and so she gets lost sometimes or forgets which way to go.
I must say, when I was driving home I cried almost all the way (5 and half hrs.) because of my poor sissy's illness and what she has to go through. I wouldn't want to wish that illness on anyone.

Laura, Great job on doing Cathe's Pure Strength Leg and Glute, it kicks my booty too. LOL:D I'm so out of shape right now. I blame it on the Tennis elbow, which by the way is so much better. I agree, It's easy to get out of synch and hard to get back to where you want to be. I'm sorry you are by yourself at these hard times. Just remember (I know it's not the same) we are here for you. Hang in there, I know you will become stronger after this. I know what you are going through, it's life changing and things will still change and you will fit into a wonderful package you make for yourself in time.

Caitlin, Great job on LM and LBB prem.

Michelle, Hope you don't lose electricity too. Stay safe. Great job on XTrain cardio leg blast. I like this one too.

ReneeP, I don't know what advice I could give you. I'm not a doctor. But prayers and hugs out to you. If it was me, I'd say "I don't have it!" Leave it at that and don't worry until you need to, like one doctor says.

Janie
 
Thanks Janie! I have time to think.. I just wanted to get some opinions.

Laura good to hear frpm u! I am prayong for u! Keep going on the exercise you wont regret it.

Michelle i love clb! It is funny cause i dont tjink that one is as hard as lets say mm on legs. Thats strange how some wos are harder for different people. I think it rwally has something to do with enjoyment lol i never done plyo work ulternatly with weights before, never evenn knew abput it. Xtrain is the first and it is my fav way to work legs!
 
Hi everyone. Today was Burn Sets Chest, Back, and Shoulders. Using my pace weights, I'm slowly adding a half pound, pound, or two pounds of weight to the exercises in this workout. I'd like to get up to 25 pound dbs on chest presses and right now I am at 22. And I think I can probably go up another half pound to 13 on my shoulder presses. I'm seeing little increases in my weight amounts with the XTRAIN weight workouts which is encouraging. Is anyone else experiencing this?

ReneeP: gosh, I don't know what to say about going to see the rheumatologist. Refresh my memory as to why the ortho doc wants you to go to the rheumatologist--that is what are your symptons? I know that you mother has RA but are you really seeing signs of it? Changing your diet to eat what Jesus ate is supposed to be very good for you/me/all of us. Positive energy to you in that journey.

Janie: I am sorry to hear that your sister's condition is not getting better. I wish I could be there to give you a hug--but will just have to settle for a cyber ((((HUG)))). BTW, I heard indirectly from Shadowpup again recently via a colleague. Sure do miss hearing from her. I hope her new job is working out for her and not creating issues wrt being away from her DH and animals.

Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful, relaxing Saturday.
Michelle
 
Janie im so sorry to hear about ur sister! I did she get diagnosed with it? I didnt know that i must have missed that post. Im so sorry about that. Prayers ur way and hers. That is such a sad thing to go through.
 
Well I got through another workout but in phases because that is how busy my girls schedules are on the weekends. I did Pure Strength Chest Shoulders & Triceps. I like this series. The older styling cracks me up but the workouts are great. I have some nice DOMS in the lower body which feel awesome to be sore again! I feel like a marshmallow lately and that is such an uncomfortable feeling!!:eek::confused::mad::(

Michelle: Thank you it is difficult and not easy by any means....working out does help and looking fantastic is a very motivating thought right now.

Janie: sorry to hear the tennis elbow took so long to heal but glad to hear it feels better! I can so relate with feeling behind from where we once were but we will get there again I have a FIRE lit under me again and super motivated

Renee:hmmmm I think if the blood work came back negative I would believe it not the other DOC pretty sure false negatives are very rare and even rarer if it happened twice in a row. Is this for your foot?

I am a 34-36 DD too.....it is awkward sometimes,,,,,;):eek:
 
I threw my back out doing a hard workout

I took yesterday off and I think I can do kickboxing and upper body. I am very sorry about your sister.
 
Didn't workout yesterday. I was up early Saturday and Sunday attending a reserve drill weekend event at Quantico. I did my Saturday workout but just decided to let it go yesterday. Too busy trying to get other stuff done. So, today was To The Max. OMG! I have not done this one in a while and I remembered that it was tough but OMG! Had to modify on the HIIT section a little but otherwise, I toughed it out. So--it's an OMG workout but I really did enjoy it.

Laura: you just have to keep hanging in there and keep exercising. Even if you can only get in a short workout, it will be better than not. How are the twins doing with the changes?

Caitlin: sorry to hear about your back. Stretching and yoga are always good to help unkink a sore back.

Janie: are you at home/home or the beach home these days?

ReneeP: so have you decided what to do with respect to seeing the specialist?

Michelle
Hi! No i havnt yet, im still waiting on the other specialist to call and set up appointment i tjinkk i will sceduale it since it will be three months before id see them anyway it gives me a chance to think about it. I just am afraid also i guess like i dontt want to look for it but if its there IF i can do sometjing about it id want to kmow. But from what i understand like my mom u giveshots in ur belly and the meds may help slow the disease down but wont stop it and that would be fine but i the meds thhemselves can cause organ failure, liver problems.. Its a double edged sward, if i was 70 aleady id take the meds but right now at 43 id hate to take meds to causey liver to fail at 53 yyears old. Do u understand what i mean?
Thanks for asking..
Today is my rest day.
Hope everyone is doing well!
 
Laura
For some reason.. I been tjinking of u this morning, so i wanted to tell ya im thinking of u and hope u are doing better everyday. I am praying for u to have peice... And when u feel alone rememberr u r not alone, God is with you... But alsoo we are to. It may be just internet but im hear if u need anything. I wish i could give u a hug. Sometimes thats all we need.
 
Thank you for your prayers everyone for my dear sister (Melody) So sorry for not posting yesterday. Cleaning bug hit me and spent hours on the kitchen. Before I knew it, it was past midnight! Still not done yet but it will be today. My donation pile is getting very big, but it's lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders believe it or not. Didn't realize how much junk I had in there. LOL:D Next is the pantry. I did Yoga Relax during the afternoon. It was soooooooo hard because I didn't want to!

Caitlin, We all deserve a day off. Good for you.

Michelle, Great job on TTM. Yep, I know. :confused: It's a toughie, very proud of you.

I'm in Shelton. We just can't plan a whole lot until Joe's beloved brother passes. Everything is up in the air. He is not responding to people any longer, but he eats, sleeps and poos just fine. It could be awhile yet until Joey goes to MI. Walt passed his expiration date one month ago and slowly going. Thank you for asking.

My poor dearest sister, I know what's in store for her. The damn sickness is horribly taking her mind away from her and she from us. Also my eldest brother is going through the exact same thing. I want to hide my eyes!:( We are all at the age now that things will most likely go down hill. That's why I think exercising and brain challenges are crucial to stay fit for as long as we can. That way hopefully, when we do pass we will pass with more dignity. I can feel your genuine support and hugs. Thank you so much. Also for the update on Shadowpup.

Great job on Burn Sets Chest, back and shoulders. OOO adding poundage with pace mates is such a wonderful idea. Keep up the good work. You'll be lifting those 25 pounds dumbells very soon. Do take it slowly though. I learned that the hard way.

Laura, I'm motivated by your fire under you. It makes me want it as well. Working out in phases is still wonderful for your body. Get it when ever you can. Great job on PS chest, Shoulders and triceps. Congrats on the DOM's. Marshmallow feeling will go away very quickly. You go girl!

Take care everyone,

Janie
