The “lull before the storm”

yeah, I thought I read in previous email that it would be 2-3 days to package :(, but if it’s
gonna possibly be into week after next, and then they gotta box everything, get loaded onto a truck and then when truck finally leaves, it will be another 4-5 days an then they have to get everything unloaded, unboxed, sorted, and begin shipping, well I still think it’s gonna be end of May or close.
 
:), don’t mean to sound like a ”Debbie Downer”, but this ain’t my first “presale”:). I really
hated opening the email this AM, cause I had a feeling….LOL! I have all these new things I bought, just sitting…so I have found a lot of new workouts on YouTube to try out.
I found a full body one weight plate workout :) and several full body med ball workout and even standing abs with med ball, so at least I have something different to do.
 
My boyfriend bought the series for my Christmas gift. He now says it's for my birthday in August.
I haven't shown him the latest email. If it's late May, I will only get a peak at the full workouts before we go camping in June. Oh well, best to focus on what workouts to do next. I think I will do something with the original STS as I want some heavy weights in my life about now.

So maybe May will be a "let's try some new (other) workouts" as we await STS2.0 ... this'll prime us for new Cathe!

That’s exactly what I’m doing now with my tank top rotation. I’m pulling workouts from various series that span the years and decades. Because I missed Monday’s workout due to not feeling well, I did hiit circuit upper and lower Tuesday and Wednesday. Then yesterday was STS meso 3 shoulders , bis and tris. Today was slide and glide double trouble premix. Tomorrow’s workout is to be determined but I’m leaning towards Athletic Training as I haven’t done it in almost a year.

I’ve already done some brainstorming for next week and I’m thinking of LIS Trisets upper body split, boss loops glutes and core, Slow heavy bis and Tris. Maybe an extra lower body day, some kickbox cardio and maybe high step training. I love the flexibility in my rotation and that I’m doing Cathe’s workouts old and new and can easily incorporate STS 2.0 when it arrives in my mailbox.

Thank you so much! It was one of the most difficult things I’ve done in my life but by far the most rewarding. I tried to quit so many times before but the pandemic shutdowns were a godsend because of the change in socializing. Suddenly triggers of people, places, and situations were removed and I could simply focus on myself not drinking. I got sober in a houseful of alcohol because my husband will always drink. But since I’ve quit he’s cut back somewhat. And best of all, he’s been cigar free since august 2020.
 
You are a strong person, that is wonderful. My ex was a drinker too, even probably considered an alcoholic....and I went thru alot of "stuff" with him....as far as me, in my
younger days, I used to drink, but I couldn't tell you the last time I had anything alcoholic...
years......... Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much! You're a very sweet person! It was very difficult to do because what started as "social drinking" - a glass of wine with a nice dinner or a cocktail by the pool became my full on way of coping with stress in my life, work, marriage, etc. I'm still dealing with anxiety head on, but at least with a clear head. I quietly quit because I knew my drinking was crossing over into a problem area, how in the world my husband didn't notice is beyond me, but the last thing I wanted was for him to call me out for my drinking, all the while he's sitting there with one in his hand. I guess you could say I tapered off for years before finally giving it up for good! The other day, I could smell the wine my husband poured and it didn't even smell good. I can honestly say at this point that I don't miss it and I just wish I'd been able to quit sooner.
 
Right there with ya’….. 3 yrs or so ago, I had an anxiety attack that put me in the ER. That was scary….and due to work, loss of my previous doggie, and just life in general.

I know sometimes when I am getting groceries, and I go down the aisle to get bottled water which is opposite the wines, if I am particularly stressed that day, sometimes I will
stand & look at the wine, thinking…should I get a bottle, just sip on it, etc. and then I think no, I don’t want it & I don’t need it. So I grab my water & away I go!!!
