Hi ladies, Today I have done 30 minutes of a Method Pilates workout and the Taebo Express Kicks workout which is 11 minutes. Probably will do floorwork later. I took it easy especially on the pilates since it has been over 2 years since I had done it. Blood work is coming back so so, so far.

LOL! Siobhan, my "Workouts " were pretty lame for me. Not much movement or anything. I ended up needing to change my cardiology follow up (basically to see how my heart is doing and get clearance to actually exercise more to my normal), and it is now Wednesday!!! So hopefully on Wednesday I...

Ok. Out of boredom again, I did 22 minutes of floorwork for abs, legs and glutes plus some light dumbbell work ( 3's and 8's) for triceps and biceps with a stretch. Gotta get bloodwork done tomorrow for my kidney doctor and the hospital. Have a great evening!

Typing out what happened doesn't convey the emotions I was feeling. At home I was calmish until I did something that set my breathing off then I panicked and prayed that it would pass quickly. I realized very quickly that something was happening but I was by myself and needed to help myself...

Ok, today I laid in the sun for 2 hours. Then I just now did 15 minutes of floorwork for abs, legs and glutes plus some tricep work and then took a 10 minute walk around the block(half a block since that is what is flat) 2 times in this nice cool breezy right before a storm weather. It felt...

Linda, it was hotter the last 3 days, today is a bit cooler with a wonderful breeze.

Hi ladies, To recap: 1 week ago today, I woke up to my heart racing which led to shortness of breath and me eventually finding that my blood pressure was bottoming out. After trying a few things, to no avail any kind of activity sent my breathing into panic mode with the shortness of breath...

Ok, boredom got me. I did a very minimal 30 min. circuit consisting of lower body movements like, marching, knee lifts, low kicks, grapevine, side steps, with 3 pounds weights added for shoulder exercises while doing the leg moves consisting of side laterals, front raise, Arnold press...

Hi ladies, just had a follow up with my regular doctor. He seemed pleased with everything the hospital did for me. I was down 5 pounds from March ( though he didn't say anything about it). Cleared to travel for vacation at the end of June. Forgot to ask about exercise, but I still get...

Hi ladies, I am home. Gotta take it easy. Considered acute for the next 3 months as the medicine and my body take care of the clots. On 2 new medications to help with my heart muscle which was damaged due to the pulmonary embolisms. And a blood thinner. 3 total new meds. The...

Thanks ladies. I did get some sleep last night. I am off the IV heparin and now on an oral blood thinner. I should go home after the echocardiogram tomorrow morning. There is debate as to how long I will be on the oral blood thinner. I am able to walk around the room better, heartrate still...

Hi ladies, I will be in the hospital at least till Monday. They can't do the echocardiogram till Monday. I still can walk or sit and then stand without being short of breath and my heart races. I also have coronary artery disease and there's a chance that I didn't have a heart attack...

Hi ladies, I have been in the ER since 3:30 ish and am now been transported to another hospital. I woke up with rapid heartrate and shortness of breath. Turns out I have bilateral pulmonary blood clots and possibly had a secondary heart attack. So I am out of commission for the time being...

Hi ladies, Today I was moving kinda slow so I got a late start. But I did an 85 minute gym circuit for back and biceps, legs and floorwork. I did the rear delt machine first because someone was on the usual starter machine. I managed 40 pounds then 45 and that was it. Then I did the...

Today I did the Taebo Get Amped 32 minute workout. Going shopping with a friend so it needed to be short and sweet. Nice workouts ladies!! Yesterday while the roofers were here I felt like I was in a MRI machine. Tap,tap,tap, whomp whomp, whack whack whack, buzz (of the nail or screw gun)...

Long one for you Nora!! Great job!!

Hi ladies, Today ended up being a 100 minutes gym circuit for chest and triceps with 2 leg machines and sled for cardio plus floorwork for abs and legs with a stretch. Today I did barbell bench press starting at 55 pounds up to 75 pounds. Then I did incline chest press and flyes with 10's...

Hi ladies, Today the roofers are here so it is very noisy. I had to get up as going back to sleep wasn't happening with the noise. But I did a Fitness Kombat 53 which I had done previously but it is a good sweaty workout. Basically 43:45 minutes of cardio and then I added a stretch to the...

Happy Easter!! He has risen!!

Hi ladies, Today was an 83 minute gym circuit consisting of the shoulder machine with 20 pounds on each side and I did several variations on this machine. Then I did the leg extension machine from 40 pounds up to 70 pounds, then I did the leg curl machine from 40 to 55 pounds. Then I did...
