Good morning,

Got a call from the Neurologist this morning. They found a 2 mm aneurysm in my brain He is sending me to Neurosurgery..Not what I was expecting to hear today. It just doesn‘t stop! I have no idea what I can do or shouldn‘t do workout wise?

Debbie - it‘s been a lot lately. I really appreciate all the prayers. Great job on your workout.

Diane - thank you! Great job with your workout and good luck with your appointments today.

I will be back later.

Belinda, what is going on with you right now? I wonder why this just keeps compounding into more and more issues. Is it the meds they have you on? I am so sorry to hear about this latest finding in your brain! I am praying for you and for someone to get to the bottom of all of this asap!

Wed workout- 4.7 mile hill climb.
Thursday- No weight workout, my husband had to go to work earlier than normal for a meeting so I walked the pup. 5 miles through the hills and we are both dead!
Today- rest day. I went out and bought some new Hoka Bondi sneakers, I hope they fit well when they come in the mail, they did not have my size in the store. Hopefully tomorrow I can get in a CL workout.

Roselyn, I love the new photo of you! Great job on the workout.

Debbie, you are doing great with your workouts, and I am happy to see that you have been waking up to get them done before work. I never see my husband except on Sunday so it doesn't matter when I workout. He works 14 hours a day six days a week sometimes.

Have a great day!

Belinda, I am so sorry the results came out like this. Praying for you and the neurosurgeon. You work so hard at staying healthy. It is not fair.
My doctor took me off the methotrexate and now I am taking prednisone and going back next month. He is doing it to see if the pain areas are from degenerative disease or rheumatoid arthritis.

Debbie, good job on Raw Burn Out Lower Body. I am up late quite often. It is okay as long as I can sleep till 8, but with appointments that does not work out that often. My left knee is bothering me. I wanted to do the LMR 2 lower body again, but I may wait till next week.

Roselyn, nice work on Upper Body today.

Jolie, nice job on the hill walks. I have a pair of Hoka Bondi shoes. They fit okay, but I could use a bit more toe room. I quit wearing them for some of the workouts as they throw me off balance with some moves. I think it is the way the front curves up. Colin Champ ,MD aka used to be Caveman Doctor mentioned on one of his emails that when they are helping patients with therapy he made them take the Hoka's off because of balance issues. I still wear mine. I have a lot of foot issues though and need a deep toe box.

Jolie - I have no idea what is going on with me? I am at a lost. I talked to my Rheumatologist if the meds is the cause..they ensued me it wasn‘t the cause. He said they have a lot of other side effects. Thank you for your prayers! I just have to wait until I see the Neurosurgeon. Nice job on your workouts.

Diane - thank you! I wasn‘t expecting those results. The Neurologist was looking for another aneurysm after he read I already have aorta aneurysm I will see the cardiologist on the 28th. It‘s unclear if it‘s from RP? Which is very rare. No, it‘s not fair. My Rheumatologist called me yesterday, I am so glad he did. I was He went over the finding with me . I can’t lift heavy, light weights only. No high impact. I haven’t done in a long time. Basically not get my blood pressure and heart rate up. Not hit my head on something. I have to take it down a notch from what I already have been doing. I hope I get an appointment soon. Glad your doctor is looking into with area your pain is coming from. Are you on a prednisone taper? Make sure you eat when taking prednisone and take it in the morning. It will keep you up at night if you take it later in the day. I learned the hard way. I hope you feel better soon.

I will be back later.

I did CL# 229 Awesome Upper Body. It was perfect. She did higher reps on most of the exercises.I used lighter weights, still got a good workout in. Push ups on the bench, I did on the wall push ups. Triceps dips on the bench, I did triceps press down on the bowlex.

Have a great workout and weekend. I need to look for high reps CL workouts this weekend.

Today I did CDorner Intermediate Step 33 minutes, 186 calories, heart rate 123/154. I followed with CDorner Inner and Outer Thighs with mini ball, 23 minutes, 83 calories, heartrate 98/141. Total time 56 minutes, 269 calories.

Belinda, it is prednisone taper. I took it after I got home and my husband and I went out to eat so in the afternoon yesterday. I looked it up and saw it is better to eat breakfast and take it. I took some melatonin last night. I took it this morning. It causes me reflux. I am going to have to take something for that. I have omeprazole, but try to avoid it. I hope that you get an appointment soon so you can get this taken care of. At least you got some answers on the exercise and some explaining things.

Belinda, I am going to ask my dad what he thinks about this because it is similar to what my mom went through years ago. Since your eye implant is an issue and now with the brain there is a pressure problem and that can be helped, I just know it. When I talk to him, I will discuss and see what I can come up with for you.

Workouts the past few days-
Wed- 4.7 mile walk through the hills
Thursday- CL All In Upper Body
Friday- 3.6 mile walk
Saturday- 4 mile run on the Elliptical on Interval mode and 2 miles up hill on the TM watching a tennis match. I am dead today I was supposed to do a CL workout but I am taking the day off. I am really getting into cardio again lately, it makes me happy.

Diane sue, I am not sure I will keep the Hokas, I have my eye on the Brooks Hypertension 3 too! I hate trying to find shoes, I have long, narrow low arch feet with a pinched nerve at the bottom so I have to go through so many shoes to find one that fits me with all of these issues.

Debbie, I am going to start some box and built workouts but the names have changed on Kellys YouTube channel. I have to go through them to see what my favorite workouts are called now so I can do them again. Nice job on your workouts this week!

Have a wonderful Sunday.
