Greetings Watulans!
I'm a bit behind as we went out of town for a couple of days. We took the travel trailer up to the Reno/Carson City area to look at neighborhoods and houses. Sadly, there is a terrible wildfire near there and the air quality was dismal. kittybug - they never put that original Body Pump on DVD as far as I know. That's too bad because it is a good one. Chele - Oh, no! I'm so sorry about your daughter's ankle. Can things get any more stressful for you? Meditation can be helpful sometimes when things are overwhelming. I started a Free Meditations thread ages ago. I'm not sure if all the links are still valid: http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?t=193291 And, our very own Toaster/Beth has some great meditations on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...uM1Z541EiGzWkV It is frustrating when rehab progress is slow, but you are improving. After I fractured my vertebra, I did months of PT. I could barely tie my own shoes or pick up the cats. I had to re-think many of the household chores, etc. The time seems to drag, with improvements and setbacks, but you have the will and determination to see this through. Bee - LOL, no Cathe Road Trip for me. I'm a menace in live classes! I never really liked bands/tubing until after my injury. I couldn't do any bent over movements, so I bought some (Bob & Brad) wall anchors and used bands for many exercises. I was surprised at the strength gains and muscle definition one can get with bands. We are still planning on the move. I've already started packing small things, even though we haven't found a house yet. Apparently, one can never start packing, sorting, tossing and donating early enough! Workouts - Nothing on Sunday. Some Qi Gong on Monday and the new Body Project on Tuesday.

Oh, Chele, I'm so sorry! You've got so much on you---much more than your share and your poor daughter! Sending virtual hugs your way

Hello....
Oh Chele! So sorry to hear about your daughter's ankle! You are definitely being challenged. Wow. I hope you find meditation helpful. I'm trying to think what I do when I'm stressed like that. I can't remember if we talked about this but do you like to do puzzles? Sometimes I can zone out when doing a puzzle and maybe some zoning out would do you good. Sending healing vibes to your daughter and big hugs to you. cataddict, sorry to hear you haven't had the best week. It's tough times for a lot of people, for sure. I may have started my 20 instructors rotation. This morning I did a Gilad workout I bought from Mary's sale on a complete whim. Well, not completely..... I remember Garrie mentioning it here and I thought he said he liked it. It was Step & Tone, I think it was called. No offense, Garrie, but I thought it was long and boring. It may have been my mood because I was thinking that it's repetitive in the same way as Ilaria's workouts are, but the last time I did them I liked getting into that zone. So, I'm not sure what my problem was. So funny, cataddict, I had the same thought as you about not knowing if I could get to 20 instructors. I was mostly thinking dvds and then I thought I could always add in some youtube. But.... silly me..... I have plenty on my shelf, also! And if we're trying to get 20 different ones in it means we're not doing a lot of anyone. Linda, thanks for making noise for Chele! I love to imagine you ringing that chime over and over again. I don't know what to tell you about the bah bah bah song. It's in Cardio Party and she's doing floor work at the time. She sort of sings along with it at one point. Oh, maybe I'll see if I can find it in a clip. Baby, (yes, I'm going to keep calling you that!), very impressive that you have already started packing! I was on a small roll with decluttering earlier this year and then I don't know what happened but the rebel in me is saying "no way" at this point. Ug...... I really need to. horusosiris, the birthday workout sounds very festive! I can understand you wanting to stay east coast -- if that's what you're familiar with and plus you have so much family in that area, right? Makes sense. manleym, how's that hip flexor doing today? I thought about you with all the stepping I did with Gilad this morning. Can you figure out anything that gives it relief? Waves to Kim, Kate, and Nathalie! Moby2 out.....

Linda,
https://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/Cat...ng-E-p/772.htm start listening in at about 16 seconds. At 19 seconds you will know what we mean. Oh, the clip even has her "singing" part at about 38 seconds.

Baby Watulan you can never pack or purge early enough. Sorry the trip had a fire nearby. cataddict good to see you. We all need a break sometimes. It looks like i'd be the only Watulan who would be going to the road trip so I am not sure I'll sign up. I totally understand. My husband thinks I'm looney bin to even consider it since it's so far away and with everything going on. I tried to do a yoga, bailed on it, and just did pilates and a workout on Lauren's SUAT. I am going to shop my collection in a few for something else to do. I don't feel finished for the day. Hang in there Watulans!!
