Hi Everyone,
This morning was:
Ellen B - Sleek Sculpt Express and Jessica Valent - Renew & Restore Pilates.
I always am happy to workout w/ Ellen!
Carol - My mom is not old by today's standards by any stretch of the imagination. She is only 77 1/2. She has always been like this to some extent - can't make decisions, can't handle change, can't handle pretty much anything. It has definitely gotten worse over time for sure. I know we all have trouble dealing w/ change and new routines, but her reaction to even the smallest change is extreme. I do think she has mental health issues - but no one really wants to address them in spite of my bringing it to the attention of the dr's in the hospital and rehab facilities. It seems if you are not actively suicidal they dismiss it and I guess they can't force you to take meds - anti-depressants were prescribed but she refused them. Her attitude/behavior/mental health issues make a tough situation all the tougher. My DH has advised me to sort of distance myself and take a more clinical approach and i think he is right. I can't live the rest of her life the way I have been feeling for the last 2+ months.
Cheri - thank you! I used to LOVE story time at B&N and Borders (back when they were in business!) and the library. When my DD was little we hit all of them!! Maybe that is why she likes to write and illustrate stories and characters?
Christine - thank you!!! Jessica does offer a variety of workouts on her site - weights, barre, yoga/fusion, etc. They are generally on the shorter side, but she does have some longer programs. I do like her and her attitude/approach. I signed up for a year in January and got in under her old pricing structure, I will decide if I want to continue by the end of the year. Her workouts and calendars do help when I am short on time for workouts. I'm hoping that once my mom is moved into her new apartment she will be a little bit better.....
Waves, everyone!
