**ONE DAY AT A TIME** SEPT.10 thru DEC.31

Caitlin, Absolutely great job on MMA Boxing & leg blast of Butts & Guts:)
I hope your appointment goes very well:)


Have any of you done "Clogging" & if so how did you enjoy it?
 
Catlin I'm not against pain killers if needed either. Or sleeping pills. For me however I am afraid to take. Them.. it just seems once u take something you have too have something else ..by the time doc got finished with mom she had. 24 pills I had to give her.. and herr liver wasn't good after all that and wasn't gopd on enlarged heart. I jusy get scared of it. And I have fam who got hooked on pills so it is something I would do when everything else fails. But that's personaly. I wouldn't judge anyone. I hope u feel better soon! Great job on the wo! U r trying for sure!
I jogged today only 2 and a half miles.

I wish I had someone here I can talk to. I mean jf I talk to anyone who is kin to us ... its like they only want u to tel them stuff so they can tell the other fam members. I didn't really grow up around them but I learned ..it took 10 more yrs of trying to have a relationship with them that they ca t be trusted and they seem to get a kick out of someone elses demise, I am so sad over everything. Why are people so cruel?
Hi jane hope u r good!
Cathy did it stop raining? U will be baack at the exercise soon. Thanks for ur advice. I do track mmy food om myfinesspals. It got obsessive so I have given myself a week off doiing that. I ate more for some reason! Lol u are right though I think I'm going to make it more simple foods for a while.
I feel terrible about my post the other day.. on the cleanse thread... I really thought yhat lady was trying to say I wasn't a lady lol but she said there. Was a smily ooops I didn't see it. Honestly I take crap all the time and I have always been quit but latley I have really been aggravated to where I have to say something back. My husband thinks its about time. But I guess I need to chill lol. I just feel really bad about it.I apologized bbut I don't think she is accepting it. I understand.
 
Good morning, ladies! Looks like you all were busy this weekend! I took Friday off (after acupuncture), did Clean Max on Saturday, then did Low Impact Circuit plus the bonus cardio on Sunday. I did it on just one set of risers. I had plenty of energy through it & it felt good. Slowly, but surely, I'm coming back!!!;)
Cathy: I'm so glad that withdrawal hasn't been too bad! What are some of the herbs & spices that you're using? Did you learn a lot from the anti-inflammatory diet book that you were reading? I've never done clogging, but my DH used to clog (but before I knew him).
Renee: I think that some people are too hard on themselves. Other people are only happy when they are making other people miserable. :rolleyes: Those are the people that suck the energy right out of you & you need to avoid, if at all possible, for your own mental health.
Caitlin: Way to go on your workouts!!! That's great! I haven't done the Leg Blast of Butts & Guts, but I hear it's a killer! I hope your appointment with the Dr. goes well. I was going to do Low Max this weekend, but chose Low Impact Circuit instead. I do love that one, though!
Take good care, ladies & BIG HUGS & prayers for all!
 
Hi all

I am trying to do the premix of Low Impact challenge on an eight inch step, and it is terribly hard. I am going to begin again; I had to take a break, and, if it is too hard, I will lower it to a six inch step.

I am doing my upperbody today. Thank you for having this forum.

I received almost 200 pills of Vicodin from my doctor today, but I know I have to be careful not to get addicted.
 
Good Afternoon Ladies,:)
Went to chiropractor & then went for a walk with the dogs & then a very short yoga meditation:)

Jane: Great on LIC & the bonus cardio! Now I have "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" going thru my head!
The anti-inflammatory cookbook is full of information but, with the lack of sleep thru the summer & the garden I honestly didn't have much energy left for cooking! The Quinoa Porridge is the only recipe so far as it's very quick & easy(5-7 min.) & I love this one.

Renee: Great on your jog:) & it stopped raining for 1 day & we are suppose to be expecting more tonight!:(
The lady you are talking about may not have seen your post yet, but I wouldn't worry over it! The stress caused by worrying over it isn't going to help you!

Caitlin: I hope your doctor's appointment went well for you today! Please keep us posted on how you are doing:)

Take care & HUGS,
Cathy

Hi ladies
Jane that is awesome on lic I only do 6 in. If I do higher I end up twists ankles! U are awesome!
Catlin I am so glad we have this thread also. These girls are do understanding. Ur doing good on wo
Cathy. That is wonderful on the walk. I wont worry any longer.
Lol
Today is rest day. I usually take mon or tues as one. I did do some yoga not much.
 
Good morning, ladies! I did Yoga Max yesterday evening. I was kinda worried about all the downward facing dogs, etc., in there, but I did it, & my elbow is no more tender than normal! YAY! & my back felt great afterwards!
Cathy: Hope your chiropractor is helping, & glad the weather lifted enough that you could take a walk!
Renee: I can do LI Circuit with 2 sets of risers, but I don't enjoy it as much, & it seems to bother my knees a bit.
Caitlin: Glad to see that you stopped when it got too rough. That's the smart thing to do! Do you do Cathe's weight workouts, or do you just do your own thing when working upper body? Vicodin gives my poor DH an awful headache - hope it doesn't do that to you!
I'm still not sure how XTrain is going to be a 90 day program. Hopefully, SNM or Cathe will post something more soon as to how it's all supposed to work. I'm not a real big boxing fan, but it is low impact, so I'll learn to love it! LOL:p
Take good care everyone & BIG HUGS!
 
I did half of it

on an eight inch step, and then I bumped down to a six inch step. I am going to do MMA boxing now, and the pain killers make me so tired. I don't think I will take any today. Oh James Behr called me again, but I don't know if I will see him again.
 
Good morning, ladies!
Great job, Caitlin! I am finding 8" step height to be too uncomfortable on my knees, so I think that's great that you can do it. I know the workout is much harder that way. It's hard to know what to do regarding matters of the heart. Trust your instincts.
Renee: Too funny that we were both doing the same workout - without it being planned!
Cathy: How is your pain level doing? Are you getting any sleep? I know all that rain can't be good for your pain level...
Yesterday evening, I did To The Max Extreme, but I did it all on only one set of risers, & I just held plank during the push ups. Again, that felt doable & I only had to pause it once to catch my breath for a bit longer than Cathe & crew. I may keep doing it this way, since it's so much easier on my knees. Tonight I may have to take off, since my DH has requested a hair cut...:rolleyes:
Take care everyone & BIG HUGS!
 
What is clogging?

I am a personal trainer, and I am not up on it. Somebody called me at eleven PM last night for personal training session, but that is much too late. The vicodin made me so tired, that I did not take any yesterday, and I fell asleep with my makeup and my size one jeans on. I also had a bra and red tank on. It is terrible for your skin to do that. I always do my upper body to Cathe, and I admit I tend to misplace workouts, and I can't find Pyramid now, so I used Muscle Max, and I am really tired of Muscle Max. I am going to try Low Impact Challenge on an eight inch step, and, if it is too much, I will bump it down.
 
I'm sorry I didn't check in yesterday Was very tired yesterday

Caitlin: Great on the 8" step:) & knowing when to drop it down!
Jane, might be able to explain "clogging" better as I've seen it only once on TV.

Renee: Great on your workouts too:)! How is your foot doing?

Jane: It is too funny that you both did the same workout:cool::) Great going on your workouts:) Your elbow is finally feeling better & your back too:cool:
My pain isn't too bad!

Have a wonderful evening!

Take care & HUGS,
Cathy

I did the entire Low Impact Challenge

I did it all on an eight inch step, and it is terribly difficult. I don't know if I will be able to do my legs today, as my daughter was here, and there were so many other things to do. I also have to shower early. I might do the very short premix of Muscle Max legs, and it is good to do.
 
Geez! JANE..YOU DID. TTM EXTREME! U R DOING GREAT!
I'm so proud I don't Knowif I could do the extreme. How diff or harder I mean is it to original wo?
Cathy 7 Hours!!! That is awesome! I am going to. Have to try some herbs as well. I love these forums we xan learn so much.
Catlin.. great job on 8 inch! I caan only do 6 but its because I can't straddle the step well I almost twist my ankles. Well any hoo u r doing well.
Today me and my oldest son walk jog today.. he could only get 2 miles in. I wanted to do more but he seemed frustrated with hisself anyway so I didn't push the issue. I didn'twant to discourage him. But it is a start. Then I did callanetics dvd called callanetics evolution. I remember these in 80s. But I am waiting on the original dvd to arrive Soon. I'm hoping that it willl help my legs get more balance and strength. We shall see. Do u guts remember what callanetics is?
 
Hello to all you wonder people here

I am meeting a new man soon, and his name is Michael. I really want to put his photo in my photo album but I do not want to jinx anything. He is from Brooklyn right across the Verrazano Bridge, and he is German, and I can't wait to meet him. He is really handsome, but I know looks are not everything, but he works out as much as I do, and his body is amazing. After a few meetings with Michael, I will put his photo in my photo album here. Thank you for this wonderful place for me to post. All of you here are absolutely amazing. I did manage to do the leg portion of Muscle Max today.
 
So stressed right now. No sleep when I did wont up feel like brain was freezing n headache? Oh gawd. My husband is being a jerk! My son is staying with us again and I think he is trying but my husband is talking down to him all the time. One minute ds thinks hubby is joking and they r then randy makes iy serous and tells him he can sleep the F&%$#@ outside! Wwhy does he hace to be so hateful to him. Hell if I had to live like that id probably drink to! Like little thing hubby got made at me for was he wants the boys to biy own tolit paper ..I agree but I was in kitchen talking? To my older ds and I ran to there br had to pee fast I holler at ds ask him to go to my br and grab tolit paper... well god forbid u guys I left tp in there br whenn hubby camee home he said" ohh so u gave them tp" no I said and explained it to him. No he don't believe me and acts pissed at me so we go to bed mad.
Then last night youngest son was told to put stuff away after dinner cause he ate last thn hubby turned big kitchen light off then ds turned back on so he can see beter. Hubby then said don't turn that back on u don't contribute here. Hen ds said yes I do I got to pay rent and he was smiling thinking Randy is joking and hubby starts saying bad stuff like well u can fing stay outside this is my house best thi g u can can do is shut ur mouth. Ds told him he diidn mean nothing by it and chill out. But hubby stil running mouth. Ds went bacck in bedroom witb other son. I heard him talking saying he juat wish he can go somewhere without feeling like he dont belong. No wonder he got into drugs ..I'm not making excises but my gawd. I know what its like to not feel wanted. His real dad never wantsd him he has nowhere to go. He wants to go to school and do better but I feel hubby is pushing him to much.
I told hubby it is a form of abuse. I think so anyway. The boy works and wanted too save money to get his own place but hubby wants him to pay 300 rent. I understand his reasons cause he don't want ds spending it on bad things plus hubby said to me before hed put it away. For him. Good idea but now he is saying if we need iit will use it. Ok but I'm stuck on if that's right. If he is gonna pay shouldn't hre be spoke to better then that? What can I do? I sware if I feel like I'm in a corner I will leave woth my son. I love my husband and if my son is not doing right then yes id agee but he seems to be trying. Idont understand how to handle this. I have no relative to help me they are all selfish and wont let ds stay with them I'm sure. Confused ! I pray all the time
 
Today was a trip to the Physio-therapist & I've been taken off dvds & put back on physio exercises for the next month.

Jane: Hope you are doing well & your back & elbow are not hurting you too badly Any injuries from the bike ride(fall)?

Caitlin: Way to go on LIC on an 8" step, absolutely great & also great going on Muscle Max legs!


Take care & HUGS,
Cathy

Hi Renee,
First great on your workouts & I did the Callanetics tapes(the original 3) in the 80's!
Okay, Is it possible your DH may be upset because if you DS doesn't make it this time either, it's your DH that has to pick the pieces of seeing you hurting & beating yourself up!
Renee, take care of yourself, & BIG HUGS,
Cathy

Very possible..but what ever the reason I can't stand to see amy of them hurt. It seems hunby can talk to his soldiers help them n be a boss of inspectors and talk to them solve problems but when it comes to ryan he has to act lime. Big cheese rooster. I did see a tralor court...run down but its 350 a month maybe he'd rather do that. I know he feels alone as well. I don't know maybe I feel to much for him. I juar know its killing me.
