Today is my 60th birthday and I called my mom first thing in the morning and I noticed she was slurring her words. I called 911 and called the caregiver to go to the ER. It is confirmed that she had a stroke on her right side. Her face is drooping and her words are slurred but she is cognitive...

Belinda, OMG about your car accident!!!! I hope you are ok. Keep us posted. Prayers for you.

A quick check in here. No workouts the past week, my life is so stressful, and I have just been walking the dog. Trying to get everything done, list the house to sell, sell the cars, remodel bathroom and bedroom for my mom and deal with a crazy sister who is trying to blackmail me for money...

I'm back! My son left for the Marines on Monday, and I miss him so much! He signed up for 5 years but hopefully he will be stationed at Camp Pendleton which is right around the corner from my house. I took an active recovery week last week and it felt great. I did a lot of walking and riding my...

The last two days was a lot of walking with the pup. He has been barking so much lately, I try to wear him out so he will shut up!!! :) Having contractors in the house doesn't help and the Amazon deliveries have him nuts! Today I did an oldie but a goodie. I did P90X Back and Chest and had...

Roselyn, I am so so sorry for your loss! May she rest in peace. I know what you are going through and it is so darn hard. I am praying for you and your family. Stay strong, she would want you and your sister to carry on. I have been so busy and forgot to check in on Sunday. Saturday, I...

Roselyn, I am so sorry to hear about your mother! I am praying for you and your family, especially you poor mom! Wow, this is such a tough time in our lives, watching our parents age. I hope everything turns out ok for her, she sounds like a tough lady. Sorry I have been gone, so much...

Wow, this week has flown by and it is already May!!! This is what I have done for workouts and movement this week thus far. Monday- Wednesday I did a lot of walking through the hills with the pup. My right hamstring is sore so yesterday I drove down to the beach and walked on flat ground...

Happy Sunday. Yesterday I drove out to the desert and visited my mom. We went shopping and out to lunch and she did the entire day without using her walker! This is huge but I have been working with her since my dad passed to get stronger and it is really helping with her movement. I bought...

OK, I have to say that dealing with our aging parents is aging me!!! It is always something. Today my mom and the caregiver are picking up my dad's ashes, I did not want to go and do that. I have yet to grieve and I think that would put me over the edge and I need some peace in my life right...

I have been MIA last week because I had to get mom settled in her assisted living facility and it was a lot of work since it was out of town. I called her this morning and she is doing great. I left last night and it felt like when I had to drop my eldest son off at preschool, I darn near...

Debbie, I am so sorry that you tweaked your hip! It will get better soon; this too shall pass. Did you try icing it? Inflammation on the nerve is usually the culprit so try to get it down with icing a few times per day. Enjoy your rest week you deserve it. Hasn't it been a long time since...

The past two days have been long dog walks; the weather is so beautiful I took full advantage of it because we have rain tomorrow. Today my internet was spotty, I used a DVD workout instead. I did Cathe's STS Meso 1 Disc #1 Chest, Shoulders and Biceps. Boy oh boy was that a good workout. I...

Sorry I have been MIA for the past 2 days, all I did was some long walks through the hills with the pup. I was so sore from Sunday's weight workout I could not do it again yesterday. :) Today I did CL All In Upper Body, one of my favorite live workouts because it is a no repeat workout that...

Happy Easter everyone! Friday and Saturday were walking days and I got in some good miles with the pup. Today I did Cathe's STS 2.0 Upper Body workout #1 and had a fantastic workout. Now this is a slow traditional workout, the kind that I love. I did really well with the weights today because...
