Sorry I haven't checked in for a couple days, life is tough for me lately and I cannot find the strength to motivate myself some days. My husband just informed me, ( yes informed me, he did not include me on the decision) that we are moving out of town, we are going to a city where he works. My boys and I know NO one and their lives are in San Clemente where all of their friends live. Also, he said he wants me to work full time, take care of the entire family by myself, that includes shopping, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the dog, school issues and so on, oh wait, and pack us and move us to the other house, and unpack us while finding a new job because now we have moved! I am done with this shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I just had to vent. My soul is tired and I feel like walking away some days. On top of it, my husband is always angry about something and he has been a drag to be around lately. I need a serious break from all of it and a vacation. Sorry I am such a bummer but I really have no one to talk this out with so you all are it.
Today I walked on the TM for 1 hour, that is all I could do. I walked 3.25 miles, incline 6.5. speed 3.3 and I burned 536 calories. I am going to get showered, grab my book and sit in the sun to escape.
Belinda, great job on the workout and enjoy your walk. The weather is wonderful here, 80 degrees and sunny, feels like summer. Where is the winter this year?
I hope you all have a great Super Bowl Sunday.

Good morning,
This week I will do Sydney Cummings daily workouts she post. I did her 40 min HiiT Strong this morning. Glad she showed modifications on her HiiT. Really enjoyed the workouts.
Today is my son's birthday. DH and I will meet the family for dinner in DC this evening. I will not be around much today. Need to get everything done before we leave.
Have a great Monday and workout everyone.

Had a busy weekend, I worked in my workout room on and off all weekend getting rid of my huge weight bench because I hardly use it anymore and it is taking up so much space. It broke my heart to take it apart and put in in my closet, but at least it's still there if I ever need or want to use it again. I just don't bench heavy anymore and my step works great for a bench. I use mostly dumbbells anymore so I think it was a good decision to take it down.
Today I walked on my treadmill, my right arm and shoulder were really hurting last night because I went shopping with a girlfriend of mine and I had my heavy purse on my shoulder for a long period of time. I have my CCW so I carry a 380 with me at all times and it is heavy. Plus with all the other crap we women seem to need to live, my purse probably weights a good 15 pounds. I heated it last night and rolled it out and although it is much better today, I thought walking would be a safer option.
I walked about 40 minutes and then I did the Chest and Back Yoga from Jessica Smith. Good yoga workout.
Jolie - I am in shock. How does a husband do that to their family and wife? Ridiculous. I'd tell him to go eff off. What is his reason for moving all of a sudden, sounds weird to me. Don't worry about venting to us, we are here for each other, it's more than just posting workouts. Take care.
Be back later.

Jolie - Wow! Hang in there. Prayers that you guys might be able to talk it through so you can understand what he's thinking... is he afraid of losing his job? Trying to move to a lower cost area? Feels like he's not supported by his family in his career? Mid-life crisis? 
Maybe if he could open up to you about his reasoning you could offer some alternative and some help or support without what seems to be a drastic life change that will cause more stress! My husband sometimes jumps off the deep end with drastic threats but then ultimately calms down.

This morning I did Raw Step 2, 41 minutes, 204 calories, heart rate 123/165, 4,031 steps. I also did Step Sync bonus intermediate step with the Step Sync stretch, 23 minutes, heart rate 108/145 , 2,372 steps. Total workout time 64 minutes, 311 calories, 6,403 steps. I have errands to run. Tomorrow they are saying we will have snow. I would have liked to have done weights, but have achy joints and don't want to push it yet. It is not muscles, it is toes, neck, knee, shoulders. Last weight workout was the short Total Body Raw strength last week. Funny, my Fit Bit gave me outdoor bike riding calories going first to my daughter's house after riding around and then home yesterday when we were out on the Harley. It has done that before. Not many calories though, like 92 calories.
Jolie, my heart goes out to you. Is there maybe some issues at work that are causing distress. Maybe the traffic travel every day? It would probably help if you can discuss it calmly together and work out solutions. I know it is hard being uprooted and moved. It makes it harder when harsh words are cast back and forth to be able to talk and come up with a solution. Also, I can't believe he told you you needed to go to work.
Debbie, I carry a big purse/tote and have started carrying it in my hand part of the time. When I was going to PT I just carried a small cross Body Harley bag with keys, cc, and license so I could stop at Sprouts afterward since they were in the same shopping center. It is hard for me to give up all of the things I carry and it gets very heavy. I noticed through all of this that my shoulder stance is uneven and I am sure it is because of all of the years of heavy bag on my shoulder. I use my dumbbells much more than a barbell anymore. I haven't lifted heavy enough for a weight bench either. I got that fit tower thinking I would really use it as a rack for the barbell, but when I tried it, I thought it was needless since the bar is not all that heavy and putting my step bench under it and lining it up right seemed like more of a headache than it was worth. We have a big weight bench in our bedroom right next to my side of the bed that I got for my husband. Our second gym LOL. He put pool noodles on the ends of the bar because one time I jumped up out fast from bed when my dog scared me and cracked my head on it. I came out with blood running down my face. It wasn't pretty, and my dog rarely comes into the bedroom unless it is a real emergency for her like being sick.
Belinda, enjoy your son's birthday this evening. Nice work on Sydney Cummings workouts.
Roselyn, good job on Cathe's live workout. She has done a lot since I last did live.

My husband and I went out to lunch and talked for a really long time yesterday The issue is all my son. He has caused such a problem for our family my husband wants to move to get him away from all of the "dirt bags" he hangs out with so he can possibly turn his life around. I told him moving isn't the answer, he will just do what he is doing here, there. He doesn't want to stop smoking pot or drinking, that is the problem no matter where you live. Yes, my husband has driven so much in the last 10 years, I do feel sorry for him. He also works 14 hour days, 6 days a week and has no life outside of work. His customers are calling him all day on Sunday! He is a fleet director at the Largest Ford Dealership in CA, probably the US and it is high pressure sales. Keep in mind he makes a lot of money but the stress of work and my problem son is killing him. He wants me to work so I am not around my son, he is very abusive verbally to me and thinks it would do me some good to be around nice people during the day. I get that, so we compromised on a part time job to start and after we move then I can decided what I want to do. We have to move only because the land lord wont renew our lease. He wants to sell the house because the market is hot and it is way out of our price range. We surely don't know what is the right thing to do, but I told him if we stick together we can get through this. Our son probably wont graduate high school, he wont do his home work and he ditches all of the time. We have taken his car away so he has no driving privileges, and he now has to work. My husband is going to give him a few months to work and save up money to move out or he has to live be our rules, which he said he will not. It is absolutely heart breaking to have the most good looking talented kid see him screw up his life. He could have gone anywhere on a full ride scholarship to play football to any college, and he just stopped playing. He only hangs with the unmotivated people, he cant stand any pressure. So, this is my life but at least my husband and I talked it through and are going to work together. This has been the hardest 4 years of my life and i don't know when it will end. Until my son wakes up and sees what is really happening here, he is in for a long haul in life. What a shame.
On a better note, I woke up feeling good, less stressed and had a great workout. I did Cathe Live, All In Upper Body and had a fantastic workout. This is now my favorite upper body workout, a lot of variety and higher reps. Workout was 1 hour, no abs in this workout and I burned 421 calories.
Debbie, great job on the walk and yoga today. My handbag has done the same thing to me and i now carry a pretty back pack that doesn't weigh one shoulder down and i am having less issues. That may be your whole problem, my chiro took my handbag a way years ago, said it is the worst thing you can do for your neck and delt area. I actually have a bump on my bone from all of the rubbing it did over the years.
Doreen, that is my husband too, he goes overboard and after he calms down and thinks about it he is better. He holds too much in and then explodes, where i like to talk everything out.
Diane Sue, Boy you are up and at it early today. Great job with the Raw Step workout! I am achy today myself. My feet hurt after my TM walk yesterday and so are my knees and elbows for whatever reason. I hope you feel better. It was 80 degrees here yesterday and today is a high of 60. I am surprised that step workouts arent too hard on your joints, they kind of hurt my ankles.
Roselyn, thanks for the support. How is your job going, do you like it?

I did Sydney Cummings Elev8 50 minute full body this morning from youtube. Good workout. Each circuit repeated 3 times.... and she made me do the abs because they were in the middle of the workout. If they are at the end I skip them!
I smashed my pinky finger between a weight and my weight rack this morning.. ouch!! The second time in my workout career that I have bled in a workout.

Hi everyone,
I did I did Sydney Cummings Elev8 D3 30 Min UB Push + Tabata Cardio + bonus 10 Min HiiT cardio.

That's it for me today. Have a great day and workout, everyone.

Today I did Cardio and I ran on my elliptical for 30 minutes, 3 miles, and I burned 347 calories. Next, I walked on my treadmill for 20 minutes, 1.10 miles, 6.5 incline and burned 151 calories. Total miles were 4.10 and total calories burned was 498. I want to get a rowing machine. Have any of you had one before. I was looking on Amazon and Sunny Health and Fitness had a really nice one for $249. It is a magnetic rower, the fan and water rowers are too expensive and I want one just to add into my cardio routine. They are great for legs, arms and back. The one that I am looking at folds up if you need to save space. I might go to a fitness store today and try one out. I might be able to find a used on Craigslist or Facebook Market place.
Debbie, I know what you mean about putting out gym equipment away. I don't use the leg press anymore so I got ride of that, broke my heart as well as my Bench press set up. I just don't want to lift like that anymore and my DB's and BB work fine with a bench. I do have my good bench still as well as my Incline bench. I use them all of the time and I have the room for them so I still have kept them. Nice job on the workout and I hope your shoulder area feels better soon.
Belinda, Good job on the workout today! I love Tabata workouts. I think that looks like a great rotation that you have put together for the next 8 weeks.
Doreen, ouch on the finger getting squished. Funny that you and Belinda did a Sydney Cummings workout today.
BBL to read your other posts. Have a nice day.

Quick check in and I will come back in awhile. I just finished my workout and am kind of late since I was not much in the mood for a workout and had a hard time choosing. I did YouTube Jessica Smith Straight Up Strength Training and yes, on this one she did use 20# dumbbells along with 10#, 36 minutes actual (44 for writing the moves down) 604 steps, 96/136 heart rate, 100 calories. I also did a workout I had on Amazon Prime, Jessica Smith Cardio Abs, 26 minutes, heart rate 126/156, 138 calories, 2,448 steps. I have only done this once before and was not thrilled with it. I am still not. It is pretty much boxing with some kicks and impact although she makes suggestions for non impact. Just not a fun workout. I was glad it was short because it seemed long and I kept looking at my watch. Maybe it was partly my mood. I did like the weight workout though. I seriously thought about skipping a workout as I was sitting at the computer this morning wanting to fall asleep.
Total time was 70 minutes, 3052 steps, 238 calories. Doesn't seem like much for what I did.
Straight Up Step
all moves are done for 12 reps but she says you can stop at 10reps
Starter
Side to side lunge passing a 10# dumbbell from hand to hand 12 reps
chops (swings like a kettlebell) 10# dumbbell 12 reps

Bulgarian Split Squat right leg 20# dumbbells 12 reps

repeat on left side
Chest and Back
deadlift/row 20# dumbbells 12 reps
floor for bench press 20# dumbbells 12 reps
repeat
Biceps and Triceps
Plie stance while doing biceps curls 10# dumbbells 12 reps

Debbie - yeah, I was thinking I should get rid of my olympic BB's w/weight plates up to 400 pounds too. I want to get rid of our bowflex, DH uses it when he is injured. It just collects dust and it takes up so much space. I do use my weight bench almost daily. It's makes it easier for me to get up rather than getting up from a step when lifting weights. Rowing machines are great, I just don't have anymore room in my basement.
Jolie - great job today with your workouts. Rowing machines are great for cardio. We had a few on base in Germany. I miss the gym. I used to do iTrain circuits using the TM, Elliptical, rowing machine. Had a killer workouts. I should pull out my iTrain downloads. Have you ever done any iTrain workouts?
Diane - thank you. We had a lot of fun yesterday. Glad you liked Straight Up Strength Training. I like that one too. I am not a fan of Cardio Abs. Looks like you and I like the same JS workouts. Some of her workouts are are hit or miss. Before you buy any of Jessica's workouts let me know, I will let you know if you like it or not. I own all her workouts, wished I waited until I found an honest review on the workout. I guess, you live and learn. Great job anyway. It also would give me an opportunity to run through them again
Doreen - ouch, on the finger! You got that finger good. I smashed my finger, but never bled. Feel better soon.
Roselyn - hope you have a great workout today.

Debbie, nice work on Home Gym Intervals. Good choice when getting back into the weight work. I know Jessica Smith has more yoga workouts. I came up with the one I have after someone else using her Walk Strong and Have fun which was perfect for me getting back to moving more. Then I got her Build Strength and balance and came across the Gentle Yoga which I purchased neck and shoulders first and ended up purchasing the segments one at a time till I got all of them using Amazon Prime Video. I have seen some on Amazon Prime as dvds. She has some on her YouTube channel as well. The problem I find with youtube is it takes me so long to go through all of the workouts to decide on one. The Gentle Yoga has been perfect for those specific areas that need help and as far as I can see will not end up causing pain like some can.
Belinda, it would be great if you can let me know the workouts you like of Jessica Smith. I have heard others really like her Walk Strong 3 set, but it is so expensive I keep hesitating. Was hoping Amazon would just sell episodes.
Doreen, I never avoid the abs. Funny that you had to do them in the middle of the workout. Oooh ! I hate when I mash my fingers with weights. Never had my fingers bleed though, just blood blisters.
Jolie, I have never tried a rowing machine. I know someone that has a water rower and she says she does not get many points for using it. I used to row on my Bowflex sometimes. I never felt it was all that hard. I think I needed even more rods installed. We did add an extra set, but could have added a couple more. I am sure it has a different feel from a rowing machine.
Speaking of getting rid of my equipment, I gave up my Bowflex and Dip station when we moved back to Oklahoma City. We downsized on house size and just too much equipment. As it is the Tread Climber is in our bedroom with DH weight bench and I have plenty upstairs with the spin bike, weight racks, Bowflex weights and stand, heavy bag/speed bag combo that takes up a lot of room. + everything else.

Diane - I like Walk Strong 6 week Transformation System is a great program. Jessica has her own platform for her workouts where she sells her dvd's/downloads. I doubt Jessica will ever put her WS prime videos on Amazon. She would lose too much $$. Years ago, she used to put her workouts on sale. Even when she comes out with new workouts she doesn't give you a discount. Her workouts on Amazon will not get any cheaper. You may find a set cheaper somewhere else. I would use her free workouts on youtube. Plus, it's free. I haven't used my set in month, lol. If I see the set on sale I will let you know.
