Today I did Cathe Live # 126 timesaver Step Grooves, which I really like and have done quite a few times. This was 36 minutes, 195 calories, heart rate 126/168, 3,524 steps. Lots of traveling and turns with this one and familiar moves. I then did Cathe Live #304 Burn Sets Biceps and Triceps, 39 minutes, 81 calories
, heart rate 92/138, 628 steps. Total time was 75 minutes, 276 calories, 4,152 steps. Today I bathed my dog and have been cleaning house. I ordered some groceries from Whole Foods. I will have to go out to the Dollar General and probable Sprouts tomorrow though. Just a few items. They did't have the GT's Gingerade Kombucha. It showed on their list in the larger bottle. They did text and offer Ginger berry, but I am not purchasing something to drink as a substitute that I don't really love. I did that with the GT Alive last time and I hated both flavors I ended up with. It seems I only like the Guayusa tumeric one. The gave me 10 dollars off today since they were missing items last time.

Roxy, good to see you back. Sometimes life and how we are feeling can stall what we are really mentally wanting to do. Hope you can get things figured out.
Doreen, I remember Cathe using a med ball in some of her older workouts. I also have a hard time remembering. I looked at that one this morning, but with how my neck and shoulders were yesterday I held off. Particularly if there was swinging the med ball around. Although it does say she uses a 4#. I have a soft 5# ball and lowest actual med ball is 8#, then I have 10 and 15. Ten has usually been the one I like to use as it is a bit smaller in size than the 8 that used to have a handle on it ,back in the day when Kettlebells started getting popular. I cut the rubber handle off. I do like to do metabolic workouts once in awhile though. Cathe seems to always want to do overhead stuff along with lower body a lot.
Belinda, bless your heart, I know you have to be in a lot of turmoil right now which cannot be good for inflammation as stress can make it worse. I read and hunt for quality sources when I choose my supplements. I have little trust in those off beat companies that pop up on Amazon. I choose more reputable. Thorne is a good source. I like Ancient Nutrition products, Garden of Life seems pretty good. The Bluebonnet products I have purchased was different and a company in Texas. What caught my eye is that they had great reviews and one person said they started purchased their , I believe B12, because their doctor recommended the company. Bullet Proof stuff, Mercola are good companies. Just naming some of my favorite. Now is okay sometimes. I read about sourcing as well. Their C is from Scotland when a lot comes from China. Yes, you do have to pay close attention to what meds you are taking and even different supplements that can interact in a bad way together. It is hard determining, because I sometimes wonder if I am causing more problems trying to boost my immune system when with auto immune diseases the bodies immune system is attacking itself in some way. It gets confusing. I have followed Chris Kressor on his website and have one of his books and dietary print outs for RA. Even he said he would do all of the things he mentions in the book and on his website, but if he had to he would resort to meds. I keep forgetting the glutathione? I think that is it where the body makes it from L glutamine. He mentions a specific newer supplement. I just wish I knew more about the thyroid on that level. That is good that they are getting right on it. Probably not as fast as you would like. I do know we want the purest and cleanest as we don't need to add more toxins to our body for it to have to take care of at the same time we are mending. Also on the histamine end of it I read you should not eat food that is not really fresh and do not eat left overs. Food should go directly to the refrigerator. Not that we don't do that most of the time, but I wonder about making soup and putting it in the freezer or refrigerator for meals later.
