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

Renee

I am so sorry about the problems you are having with your husband and son. I am divorced, and my kids now do not get along together, and that bothers me. Today, I did the MMA Boxing, and it is so hard with all the jumping. I had to ice my knee and my foot after it. I also had a very late start working out as I received a new computer today, and it took me hours to put it together and install all the stuff I had to. Tomorrow night, a friend is coming to back up the files. I hope I meet Michael on Saturday, but who knows?
 
Hi catlin... how old r u children?
I sure hate to put my business out here but honestly I need a fresh purspective once in a while besides my own. It is hard not knowing if ur doing right or not. You know having no family when I was younger I could take but it seems harder as u get older to me. I hope I'm not bringing anyone down. I just needed to vent some. My head still hurts lol. Oh well thanks you all for listening to me.
 
Good morning, ladies, I see that I missed a lot by not checking in yesterday! What a tangled web we weave... I did Cross Fire yesterday evening. I modified things like tuck jumps & air jacks, but I didn't have to push pause, so I'm proud of that.
Caitlin: Ooh - I'm excited for you about your new gentleman friend! Good luck, & I hope you enjoy each other's company. It sounds like you have fitness in common. Sorry you have to ice your knee after your workouts. It's amazing when I think of what we put up with but continue to work out! I'm impressed that you can install your own computer & load it! I'm sorry your children don't get along. Our hearts are always with our children...
Renee: My heart goes out to you with your family situation. Geez, toilet paper????? :eek: That would be funny if it weren't so sad!:( I sent you a private message. Yes, I used to do Callanetics, too, until I had a herniated disc & my Dr. told me not to do them any more. The way she had you turn your hip did not work for my hip after that! Do you like the newer ones? I looked at them when they first came out, but decided against them. TTM Extreme just adds the slide & glide tabata & ab work in, so it's really not a whole lot harder.
Cathy: It sounds like you have a wonderful PT person, that's truly working with you & your body's needs & actually listening to you. Awesome! I still have an ugly bump on my lower right leg, & my hip hurts a bit, but other than that, the bike fall hasn't hurt, although I can't wait to get to the chiropractor next week. I think it bumped my neck out of alignment.
Take good care, ladies & BIG, BIG HUGS!
 
JANE LOL it would be funny! Geez ..
Gosh you are doing so well on ur workouts especially when u had been off awhile! U r amazing! I'm happy Cathe was on forums!
CATLIN u are doing great to. Also I hope thia guy turns out to be a good one!
CAthy I hope u r doing well Jane makes a great point not many docs or pt and yhat car for there patients anymore
Gosh u guys I did callantetics today...boring but will see... and step heat. I like step heat its great on the days I don't want to work out. And today I didn't. Again this week I have been not waanting to. Even my coworkers think something is wrong cause I haven't felt lile it. It is ttm so I have been losing more hem then usual scared me at first. But I think that and depression had set in bad. So I know I must fight it
So I pushed on with step heat. It ended up seeming very long! Lol I know its shorter then most her wo. But I was dragging ! I am going to go to movies I think. I am going alone. Kinda nice. Have good day
 
I met Michael today, and he is also a personal trainer

I asked him if I could put his photos here, and he said yes. I am taking today off.
 
CATLIN I cant see any pics i must be doing it wrong.

Well ladies i rand 2 miles and walked one mile today, I liked it but i tell you it took all i had to put one foot in front of the other.

Any hoo, I did nto do anything yesterday so i felt like crap.
I was thinking Cathe keeps saying they finished filming and they are editing, do you guys know how long that takes? Im just wondring because it seemed like to do the two crossfire and to the max was not long at all, but i know there is 10 here, but she said 4 or 6 was already edited.. so i guess what i am saying is CAthe said they still wont be released or go to distributer for a while and im confused now as to why it sounded like they were moving really fast.
She is still saying late fall early winter and to be sure .. ( i know corney) but i looked up what is considered fall and winter to be clear, the end or fall is DEC 21st the Begging or winter and the end of Winter is march, sooooo am i to understand they will not be ready til DEC 21ST or later? That is a long time isnt it?
I was thinking how fast it was going and it was like going to be to us maybe the end of Nov or the first week of Dec not end of Dec or later.. Do you understand what im saying? And is this what you all gather as well. Im just wondering if my early winter is the same as yours lol
Im nto trying to be picky just i need to stop looking for upsates and just chill out, I get way to excited over the workouts geez. lol
 
Maybe I did something wrong with the photos

I am going to try to do Step Blast on an eight inch step, and I will bump it down to six if I can't.
 
First off, I hope everyone is safe! I'm watching a live feed from the New York Times building - it looks very dark!
Caitlin: I saw the pictures of Michael - very fit & handsome! I hope things go well for you two!
Renee: If it's ttm, no wonder you don't feel good & it's hard to run! That's a good reason to take it easy - listen to your body.
Cathy: I hope everything is OK in your neck of the woods, as we say. I heard that Canada had a very strong earthquake.
I think people are very on edge with the way Mother Nature is making herself heard! I heard one TV commentator say that the ocean was very angry. I thought to myself, It's not the ocean that's angry!!!
Please take care & be safe, everyone!
 
Jane! AMEN AMEN! GOD says he has to come back or man will distroy themselves! I think the weather and how crazy it is is a sign! I truely think we r in the last days. Wv even never had bad weather except snow or thunderstorms! They amounted to snow but this yr this summer they had a stoe
Caused black out for over a week! Now they are bracing for blizzard! I'm 43 and do not remember any of that before.
Well I hope I feel like doing something today.I did do a dvd yesterday to ... it was eady the low impact step by cathe with total body sculpt there was a 49 min premix called lower body sculpt I think. But did it thinking it would b easy oh my I have sore legs! So confused it is a god sore to! I have done gym stule legs and was not sore joints were so y this made me sore I don't understand! It was squats with stability ball and lunges then cardio and the blast in it. I may try it again. It was doable and not hard but I got the good kind of sore!
Well things still feel tense in r home. Keep praying is all I do.
 
I hope everyone is safe! Please check in if you can!
I didn't do anything yesterday - my back is in serious spasm mode, so I'll rest it for a day or two.
 
Hello I had rest day yesterday hopefully ill be doing weight training today.
Don't make fun but I'm trying to write a book..been thinking on it for years. I found someone on cathe fb page she said she just happened to open her own mini publishing co. I told her parts of my story and she said I should write it.. need to write it.so for bout 3 months I have been trying to. My hands start cramping. Grrr lol. Anyhow I need an editor for sure.plus my thoughts are all over the place. I will think a lot of stuff but zo hard to put on paper. Im hoping to get a program I can talk into and it typez my words.
 
Oh I just finished supersets. I love the music on the nody blast series very much.
Gawd hubby starting up again this evening and I just calmed my nerves now on edge again. Had an upset tummy this evening. Son had day off and yes he should hsve done something I guess. Hubby instead of talking to him like hey don't u thiink u should have cleaned ur dog crap outside since u had offf? It was more like oh damn u r up! Son said I been up... hubby.. yah but u been on ur lazy ass all day not doing anything u could have cleaned dog shit got off ur ass you know blah blah blah over n over. I shut my mouth. Son just walked Away and then went out and cleaned poo. Just sick already of hearing the bitching.. gawd.
Theen me n hubby had a few words in the bedroom... he is being a truee butt munch. I thought it was going to go smoother. A little. I sware he acts like he. Hates him at times. Yess I agree son should have picked up poo without being told. But throwing a fit isn't right either
 
Well today I did step max it was nice. Not to twisty. So good on my knees. Almost an hour of straight forward cardio with a a blast at the end! Not bad at all! So anyway had a better day and evening. Hope all is well!
Miss reading every ones post!
 
The blackout

The blackout was terrifying, and Michael is stuck in lower Manhattan with no power. I was doing Rhymic Step on an 8 inch step, but to finish I am lowering it to 6 to finish. I hope everybody is safe.
 
Hi everyone!
I'm glad everyone is safe - I was worried about you, Caitlin, since you're in New York! I haven't been working out - my back is still very painful. It's hard to even drive, to look over my shoulder.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Renee, I'm glad things have calmed down for you a bit. It's not an easy situation you're in!
Cathy, I hope you're getting some relief with your PT stretches & that you're able to sleep a bit better.
Take good care, & BIG HUGS!
 
Thank you to Jane and all you wonderful people

We lost power for about 16 hours, and my kind neighbor gave me a candle that would burn for sixty hours. I have to admit that I was terrified being alone in the dark. Lower Manhattan has power now, and I might see Michael tonight. He does not have a six pack on his abs, he has an 8 pak, and his body is amazing. He works out more than I do. If my knee and back did not bother me, I would work out more. Today, I did a 53 minute premix of Kick, Punch and Crunch, and I am going to do a premix of legs.

My kind neighbor gave me a lean cuisine to eat, and I did not have the heart to tell him that I burn at least 600 calories a day in exercise, and I need something more substantial than that. However, I am going to eat it anyway. I think I am going to try Lower Body Blast for the first time. I hope all of you are safe. I managed 40 minutes of Lower Body Blast, and it was so difficult. I also had to order those discs that the workout need, and thank God Cathe takes paypal. In the forty minutes, I burned over 300 calories. I know I need to work up to this workout.

Catlin what,premix did u do? Id like to hear how the premixes r on that one. Wow these arnt the neighbors who gave u a hard time before is,it? If so... What happened? Lol
I know what u mean.. I love to exercise..but my knees are scaring me I have to be careful with step n jumping. But I really think if id lose even some weight it would b beneficial to my knees but so far im still chunky monkey ggggrrr. Tired of it. Lol
Jane hope u r doing well.
Cathy how r u doing?
I did cardio and weights yesterday. I love that one. I really love body blast series.
 
Oh I hope u all dont forget to vote tomorrow! I have a feeling of who will win. However I am praying for Romney to win but I really dont see this happening. I just feel he has an actual plan. Wv coal minefs lost jobs again. Wv cant afford this. And we need to start drilling for oil In the united states. Obama has cut our military low... I know been there. The cuts he has made had made my fellow brothers and sister in war areas volunerable. Alot of times we are low on amunition.. Due to cuts in military spinding yet he bail out wallstreet.
Not trying to start anything but I think people need to watch the dvd out obamas 2016. It can b eyeopening. However I knew alot of that before he was elected..i did not vote for him. In my gut I really felt he would weaken our country. I was right and the dvd tells how he has and y he has. Some of it out of his own,mouth. And no im not racist.. I hate hearing that because anyone who knows me knows better. Alot of people dont even educate themselves enough about him for fear of looking racist. But sorry he isnt an american born.. He isnt african american. He has dreams of his fatber dreams.. That is to weaken the americans the white men even more so. Look it up. Hope im not stepping on toes but I have to say it. Have to get it out, we need to be more informed. Have good day guys.
