Hardcore Fitness Maniacs June 2025

This is what I do know about skin cancer and sunscreens, seed oils and sunglasses. First, seed oils in food oxidize into poison and cause free radical pathology. When you have seed oils in your system and you sit in the sun, this can cause cancer. Sunscreen is all toxic chemicals and most contain chemicals that are very harming to your skin, liver, kidneys and can cause skin cancer just by sitting on your skin while in the sun, and sunglasses are a doozy! There was no skin cancer before sunscreen and sunglasses and seed oils in our foods. Our eyes produce a hormone that protects our skin from the sun when our eyes see bright sunlight. When it is nighttime, our eyes tell the brain it is dark outside and stops producing the hormone. When you put sunglasses on to block the sun's rays, your eyes tell the brain to stop producing the hormone, it is dark outside when in fact, it is light outside. If you do not wear sunglasses while in the sun, you do not get burned. If you wear sunglasses in the sun you will most likely get burned. Also, you need bright sunlight in your eyes for your Sarcadium Rythem. Hope that helps. Bottom line, sun is the best thing for your body and mind. If you stay out of the sun, you will most likely get some sort of cancer or depression and or another type of desease. Vitamin D from the sun is so essential to the cells to function properly. If you are taking Vit D supplements you MUST take them with Vitamin K2 that included MK4 and MK7, magnesium and calcium with minerals otherwise they do not absorb properly.

Yesterday I walked the pup 2.6 miles in the am and 2 miles in the pm. Today's workout was Cathe's Xtrain Biceps and Triceps disc #2. I did really well with the weights, but I will do even better the next time know that I have the workout and my weights written down. I do like these workouts, it has been ages since I have done them, and I do not know why I stopped!

Great job with the workouts everyone. I hope you all have a great day.
 
Today I walked on my treadmill. My HR was way up again. Crazy.

Workout was 43 minutes, burned 401 calories (never happens when I walk), went 2.1 miles, did 4946 steps and HR was 151/180.

I thought I'd be bored this week and next since it's my last days until summer break. Wrong!! I had a ton of stuff to do today. That's fine by me, makes the days fly by!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

No walk today. Tomorrow, I go for my heart CT so probably none tomorrow either.

Jolie, nice work on the dog walk and today's X Train Biceps and Triceps. That is interesting on the eyes. I always found a little sunshine helps my energy levels and I sleep better because it helps the body produce melatonin.

Debbie, good job on the treadmill workout. I would use the treadclimber, but my husband is sleeping during the day and at night I am not feeling walking on the treadclimber. Besides I would need my dog there so I know what he is doing. Along with the fact he seems to think the bedroom carpet is a place to pee. Every time we think we are ready to put our rug back down in the living room he finds our carpet and we hold off. I would like to have the rug to help protect his elbows and my great grandson from crashing on the ceramic tile.

Belinda, nice job on the zoom dance and SBF lower body today.
 
Hi,

Today I did CL# 546 “Cardio, Legs and Core” .

Diane - I hope your heart CT went well today.

Debbie - great job on your walk on the TM.

Jolie - nice work on the dog walk and today's X Train Biceps and Triceps. I have to wear sunscreen, I burn easily, I get sun blisters. No fun.

Good night.

Jolie - Thank you for all that information, I really haven't heard of any of it. I was always told by my eye doctor that since I have light blue eyes, I always need to wear sunglasses outside when it's sunny or high UV because otherwise it can damage my eyes. I honestly think the horrible blue lights we all have to look at here at work is what is damaging my eyes. It is everywhere anymore. Hate them. Great job with your workouts!!

Diane - How did your heart scan go? I'm sure you won't have results for a few days. I go to see my cardiologist on Wednesday. Oh fun. Great job with your workouts. How is your back, are you feeling a difference now?

Belinda - Great job with your workouts!! Kicking it!!!

Have a great day everyone. This is my LAST WEEK until summer break! Woo hoo!!!

Today I just did a Jessica Smith Walk and Talk, 16 minutes, 100 calories, heart rate 126/155. 155 seems kind of high to me for what I was doing. My daughter and grandson came over today to help with some things.

Debbie, good job on Raw Box and Pump. I am glad Kelly put them up. I think the LED lighting bothers the eyes. I get up in the middle of the night and all of the lights on plug bars, appliances just glare even with the lights all out. It bugs me when I sit in the recliner trying to go back to sleep. Maybe doesn't damage my eyes, but it takes away from the quiet peace of darkness. I go see my heart doctor next month and he will go over things. It looks to me like itis worse than the one 5 years ago. I am not pleased.

Jolie, nice work on X Train #1 chest shoulders and back and today's walk.

Belinda, I hope you got some rest. Maybe the infusions make you tired. Nice work on JS Total Body Build workout. We have had so much rain. Our lawn guy couldn't do the lawn Saturday because it was so wet so he did it yesterday morning because we had rain coming last night. It looks like more headed here later this week. Here is the CDorner Walking cardio workout https://www.youtube.com/live/tw21Dv3k0Hc?si=ROZzMKsAuTjo21jg

Diane - Great job with your workout. 'm sorry to hear your heart scan doesn't look good but don't worry yet. Wait to see what the doctor has to say. One of the things that bothers me about have the MyChart or similar is that we see the results before the doctors can talk to us and then we worry more. I hope it will be all good for you. How is your back pain? Is that gone now after you had that procedure?

Jolie - Great workouts!

Belinda - Hope you are more rested today. I hate feeling tired!!

Roselyn - Great job on legs!!

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Hi,

I feel much better, slept a lot yesterday. Today I walked and did SBF TB barre.

Debbie - thank you. I couldn’t keep my eyes open for some reason. Usually I feel not that wiped out after my infusion. Great job on Pyramid UB. Oldie but goody.

Diane - thanks for the link. I bookmarked it.I usually get tired afterwards (probably from the meds I have to take before the infusion). I feel much better after sleeping a lot…I mean a lot. I fell asleep on the couch last night. I had a coffee in the afternoon, that didn’t help either. It’s been crazy weather here lately. You never now what will the next hour bring. Our lawn guy had to cancel a few times too. I am so sorry you going though so much. Praying for you.

Today I did CDorner Move to Improve from her 30 day beginner program, Day 25 Low Impact Cardio, 23 minutes, and Day 27, 24 minutes Low Impact Steady State cardio, 47 minutes, 324 calories, 4,233 steps, heart rate 139/162. I won't work out tomorrow. I was coughing hard several days ago and I felt something snap in my back it hurt a lot for two days and now my ribs hurt. I called my doctor that did the procedure and he scheduled me for two mri's tomorrow. I am not looking forward to this. They put these mris in a two hour time slot. I think it feels like I am in a coffin or something and have to keep my eyes closed. I was supposed to go for my follow up yesterday and they cancelled it.

Debbie, good job on Pyramids Upper Body. I remember how hard it was by the time you got to pyramid down. My report is not on My Chart as far as I know. They handed me the print out and said my doctor would go over it with me. But, I still have the print out from 5 years ago and compared the numbers and markings on my arteries. Plus, my doctor daughter looked at it and said she is surprised my heart doctor hasn't put in a stint and it is a major artery o_O I have had no problems at all. My heart doctor tried to give me a statin, and it was supposed to be mild. It gave me mouth sores in the back of my throat every time I retried taking them. He told me if I can keep my blood pressure down it is okay for me not to use it. All of my doctors point all of this stuff to possibly caused by rheumatoid arthritis. So, I am just going on a lot of anxiety for all of this.
I know what you mean about reading the stuff on my chart. Generally, it is not as scary when they go over it with me as it sounded.

Belinda, nice work on the walk and SBF TB Barre workout. I am sure some of those meds probably make you feel tired. I have been napping more. It is probably because my back hurts lying in one position and wakes me up during the night. I am hoping to get through all of this and get my life back. Thanks for the prayers.

Roselyn, nice work on leg day.
 
This morning I walked on my treadmill. Had a good, sweaty walk.

Workout was 50 minutes, burned 449 calories (holy crap!), did 2.3 miles, went 5748 steps and HR was 148/184. Which is weird because every time I looked at my Garmin, I was in the 120's/130's. I did see that it got to 180 but my HR was NOT that high. I don't get these devices sometimes.

Diane - Wow on your artery!!! That is scary!! I wonder why they won't suggest putting a stint in it? That is odd. And do you think you injured the procedure you had with that coughing attack? Those can really mess you up, I know when I have bronchitis, all of my lower muscles and ribs hurt. I'm glad you stopped the statin, those things are nothing but bad for you. I'm sorry you have to go through 2 MRI's today. That didn't take long to schedule!

Belinda - Good job with your workout.

Hope you all have a great day.

Evening,

I had a follow up appointment with the ophthalmologist. I still have a lot of floaters which are annoying. I will get laser surgery soon to correct those floaters. The laser is only about 10 min, hardly any recovery time. He ran a bunch of tests. Eyes are looking good except those floaters and very dry eyes. The floaters are from the new lenses.

Diane - I am so sorry about your artery. That is scary. I agree with Debbie on why they don’t put in a stint? I was on statin too.I also stopped it after doing some research. I am so sorry you are going through so much pain in your back. I can’t imagine what you are going through (((HUGS))That is a lot of MRi’s you had. Poor thing.

Debbie - I been thinking getting a walking pad instead of a treadmill. I go back and forth. What TM do you have and do you like it? I need something if the weather is crappy. Great job today.

Have a great Wednesday everyone.

This morning I did two RAW workouts. First I did RAW Box & Squat 2 - didn't realize it was only 20 minutes so I added on Box & Squat and did about half of it due to time. I really like both of these workouts. I haven't worked my legs in a while because my knees have been hurting but they felt pretty good this morning and since this is a no weight workout, I did them. At first my knees hurt so I stopped the workout and did knee circles to warm them up. That helped a lot.

I'm not going to list the workouts because it's long and I don't have time. It bounces back and forth with a boxing drill and then a leg drill.

I wanted to do Box: Bands & Abs but it's not on Youtube and I can't get the Coffeyfit app to work anymore. It says I need to subscribe. So I'm going to email Kelly and see if she can post that one out there. Hopefully she'll see it.

Belinda - That sucks about the floaters, that's why you had that surgery, to get rid of them! I see floaters all the time, especially when I'm working on my computer. I hate them. Glad your eyes are doing well, though, that is great!! I have a Proform treadmill, I got it from Costco years ago. It's fairly big, though, but I love it. I forgot to write the model down but I doubt they make that model anymore.

Diane - Hope your MRI's went well.

Rosely, Roxie & Jolie - where are you girls??

I had my cardiology appointment yesterday. The doctor thinks my heart issues are blood pressure related but he is going to have me wear a heart recorder for two weeks to see how my heart is beating. At least now they just stick one thing on your chest and that's it. The last time I had that done the stupid thing was hooked to a mini tape cassette recorder. OMG was that annoying. I can take a shower with this newer kind they have. Then I need to schedule an echo. I think I've been dehydrated too, because I've been drinking more water and I feel better. So hopefully it's nothing too serious. My brother is having open heart surgery on July 7 so heart issues definitely run in our bloodline.

Hope you all have a great day!!!
 
Good Morning,

We are at the lake this week it’s our anniversary week. Saturday we spent the day at the ballpark and they had a really nice walking trail so we did that between games and so far this week we have walked every day on our favorite trail at the lake. Monday I did TBTS Push and yesterday did the Lower Body hard to do in a camper and with a broken toe. Today will be a boxing workout of some kind to get abs in.

Diane-I fought for years to stay iff a statin but my cholesterol got up to 300 so I didn’t have a choice. My doctor picked the lowest and least harmful one and she checks my levels to make sure it doesn’t affect my muscles.

Debbie-I have done the chest monitor thing twice but I am allergic to the adhesive so couldn’t wear it the whole time and thats why they want to inject one but nobody from cardiology has called to set up my treadmill echo test or about the monitor.
