Hardcore Fitness Maniacs May 2026

Good morning,

STS M1 W3 D8 is done. I went for a walk outside yesterday.

I have a bone density test this morning. I have to run.

Diane - you amaze me with your workouts. Maybe just do some gentle stretching and walking. I feel so bad for you. Great job on your workouts.

I will be back later.

Good morning all. Had a really busy week but now I'm finished with all my programs and I can breathe a bit here at work.

I'm doing very well, I think I can definitely start working out next week. I have been doing my stretches daily and I can now sit without pain. Sometimes a little discomfort, but no pain. I go back to my PT today so we'll see what she says.

Roselyn - I hope you are finding peace. Such a hard time that eventually all of us will endure. Prayers to you.

Belinda - Nice job on all your workouts, you have been doing great with them!!

Diane - I'm sorry to hear you are in pain again. When is your transfusion? It's coming up, correct? I hope it can help manage the pain for you. I know how frustrating it is to be in pain all the time. I'm glad to hear your Mother's Day was special!

Jolie - Great job with getting back to your workouts!! Your new bathroom for you mom sounds like it will be lovely!!

Have a great day everyone!!

I'm trying to get back into working out. This is all very surreal to me still my sister and I question her care the two times we had her in an ER where they found nothing and then all of a sudden everything was failing she was a vibrant 86 year old a month ago. I just keep hope we did everything we could for her and I miss her so much when I lived five minutes from her. I talked to her two or three times a day. This is so hard thank you for all the kind words.
 
The last two days was a lot of walking with the pup. He has been barking so much lately, I try to wear him out so he will shut up!!! :) Having contractors in the house doesn't help and the Amazon deliveries have him nuts! Today I did an oldie but a goodie. I did P90X Back and Chest and had an amazing workout. This workout you alternate between Back and Chest the entire workout and I love that there is NO dread factor with any of these workouts. I am going to cancel my Cathe Live and focus on these for a while. I am getting great muscle definition, and I am lifting heavy too. Tomorrow will be a walk and Saturday I go and visit my mom. I will workout again on Sunday.

Roselyn, hang in there. I feel for you, but you have to know, you did all you could for your mom with the information that you had. Prayers for you and your family.

Debbie, I am so so so happy that you are feeling better!!! I cannot wait to have you back. What do you plan on doing for your workouts to start back? I bet you are ready for your summer break

Diane Sue, I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. Maybe just stretch and get in a lot of steps for a while and just give your body a rest and some GRACE! It is so hard for us to take these breaks, but I think as we age, we need them.

Belinda, nice job with your workouts. I gutted the bathroom down to the studs. I am starting fresh. I got a beautiful pearl while square tile for the shower walls and natural stone pieces for the bottom of the shower floor. I picked out Benjamin Moore Chantilly White pant for the walls. I already have travertine floors throughout the house, so I did end up saving them because they are in such good shape. I got a blonde wood vanity from Pottery Barn and Brizio polished antique gold faucets. Think Ibiza, that is the vibe that I am going for! Beachy and modern with all natural colors. I tell you, it is costing 20K to do this bathroom, things are so expensive!!!!!!! However it has to be done, it was from 1990!

Have a wonderful day my friends.
 
Hi,

I did live zoom dancing today. We always talk to the instructor after class which is very nice. I also did Pilates Stretch.

Debbie - glad the PT is helping.

Jolie - great job on P90X Back and chest and your walks. Your bathroom sounds amazing.I had a contractor here. He told me he couldn’t do the bathroom the way I wanted to. In order what I wanted him to do, he needed to take away part of my master bedroom walk in closet. I really don’t want to do that. Did you hire a designer on how you wanted your bathroom done? I need someone that shows me what the bathroom will look like before we ripping everything out. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Yesterday I did LWH Low Impact Hiit #2 30 minutes, 188 calories, heart rate 132/166 followed with Lauren Pilates for Posture 30 minutes, 84 calories. Total time 60minutes, 272 calories. Today I did Lauren Perimenopause/Strength Int/Adv, 47 minutes, 124 calories, heart rate 86/124. This was a blend of pilates and weight work with 10# and a pair of 5 used for the shoulder move. I adjusted a few. That was all for today. RWH low impact had to have some modifications. I forgot about the burpee and mountain climbers. Tomorrow my granddaughter graduates and is a valedictorian. We may watch on TV as it is outdoors and in the 90"s:oops:.

Debbie, I am glad PT is helping. The end of the school year is always busy. Infusion is Tuesday morning. I don't think the work right away. It takes a while like most meds do. I have the field vision test for my eyes on Monday.

Roselyn, I felt the same way after my Dad was gone. I wondered if we made the right decision when we said to go ahead with surgery knowing he may not make it. He ended up in a coma for 3 months before he got to go be with the Lord. I really think he would have rather we had let him go. I miss him, but he is happy now. It is rough making those decisions. Just know she no longer has pain and is happy. He was in his 80's and still active.

Belinda, nice work on Live Zoom Dancing and Pilates Stretch. I get a lot of walking in just going outside with my dog. He is so clingy.

Jolie, it will be nice having the remodel done. Our pets are a bit of a problem when having repair people come. My dog is pretty quiet, but someone comes in the house he will growl and bark till he realizes we are cool with it. Nice work on P90X back and triceps. I am doing light workouts.
 
Hi,

Today I did M1 W3 D9 legs plus Pilates on the wall. Great way to strech your legs after a leg workout. I will do a live zoom dance workout shortly.

Diane - great job LWH Low Impact Hiit #2 followed with Lauren Pilates for Posture + Lauren Perimenopause/Strength Int/Adv. Those burpee and mountain climbers are tough. Congratulations to your granddaughter. Aww…your dog loves you.

I will be back later.

Today I did a Lauren weight workout and a Lauren Cardio with a 10 minute light workout at the end, 55 minutes, 298 calories. Tomorrow is family celebration for the graduate, birthdays, and mothers day as everyone was not here on Mother's day.

Belinda, nice job on the walk outside and pilates. My dog loves us so much that we can't hold hands without him having his head between us wanting to be involved as well.
 
Hi,

It‘s 85 here, no walking today. I did a live zoom Pilates class.

Roselyn - thinking about you (((HUGS)))

Diane - great job on Lauren weight workout and a Lauren Cardio. I hope you had lots of fun with the family celebration for the graduate, birthdays.

Good night.
