I saw Helene here earlier so I waited to post, figuring she was starting the thread. Guess not, so...here it is!

I did my O! this morning for the WE. Eating has been okay. We had company in for a funeral this week so I did eat out a couple of times, but tried not to overdo.

KOB & DYW!

Hi Kelly and everyone,

No O for me yet but I am starting to feel much better even though Lenny says I still sound really sick. I feel pretty good considering.

Kelly, sorry for your loss.

Enjoy the weekend ladies.

(((Jeans)))) I am so very sorry for your loss. (((Kelly))) I am very sorry for your loss too. It is so hard when we lose ppl we care about.

I have not been in for a week or so because I am battling depression and can barely function let alone workout. My big effort today is to get to the store to get some groceries, I don't need them really but it is good for me to get out.

The hospital phoned me and cancelled my tongue biopsy from this Tuesday to the 28th - now I am dreaming horrible dreams about it, will this Ever get done??? I know it will it just seems like forever. lol

See you all tomorrow hopefully! Blessings and light and love to each of you.

Nancy p.s. I noticed many of you posted about the longer dvd and Kirstine passed it along to Jill for us, so well done!!! Thankyou so much everyone this may well happen!

Hi Everyone:

Thanks, Kelly; I had popped in earlier this morning, but couldn't stay on long--sorry to hear you had a funeral to attend-

"deodorant"..LOLOL, Lin--Actually, I was beginning to feel a bit smelly there for a while --feel better soon!

Sharon, the 'power breath', as it was explained to me by Aubrey, goes something like this:

Everything with the breathing is the same, only you're doing it with more gusto; a bigger inhale, and a more powerful exhale; but the main event is when you get to the last of the '3 puffs', make that last puff a bit more dramatic while pooching your tummy out at the same time...then when you relax to inhale again, you'll feel/hear a sort of 'gasp' at the back of your throat--for anyone who's done Body Flex or Life Lift, think of the 'vacuum gasp' and that's it, only not so obvious. It takes a bit of practice, and so far, I've only incorporated it into Torpedo One and Torpedo Two, but it does make you feel as if you've done a bit 'more'...hard to explain until you try it, and you'll see what I mean-

Hopefully, Jill will include this in any new workouts she creates.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend; no "O" for me yet, but hopefully, sometime tonight.

Love,
Helene

Nancy, sorry to hear you are having problems at this time. Hang in there. Things will get better soon. I will include you in my prayers and daily candle lighting. I have got through some pretty tough times in the past two months with Lenny (boyfriend) and I thought things would never get back to normal. Finally, after he returned from vacation he was so much more like a normal person again. Tonight was wonderful to go out again, feel his love for me and just laugh and have a great time together. I thank God so much for answering my prayers in that regard. I just continue to pray daily that he remove all the illness and cancer from his body.

WEll anyway (((((hugs)))) to you and feel better soon.

Helene, that power breath seems confusing and since I did not like the breathing on Body Flex I am not sure I would want to try it. Did you find your deodrant today? (LOl) ((hugs))

LOL, Lin; I'm using 'clinical strength' this morning

Actually, the power breath isn't as complicated as it sounds; the change only comes on that final 'puff', and when combined with the tummy pooch, it all sort of comes together naturally--but I didn't mean for it to sound like the Body Flex breath--it really isn't like that at all-

No "O" today-

Love,
Helene

I am feeling much better today now and I am hoping maybe tonight or at least tomorrow to be able to start up with O again. So much for my October goals huh! Rats! Will someone please explain to me how October just started yesterday and it is half gone already??????????
I just don't get it any more. Man! LOL!

Aww Lin thankyou so much for all your kindness, I too light candles and pray and will add you to my list if that is ok. (((Lenny and Lin)))

My depression seems to have lifted a bit as the day has gone on as it tends to do. The mornings are the worst but I have done my hair and makeup and are off to a birthday party in an hour. I am not much for talking when this condition hits so I hope there are more than just the 4 of us!

I have not been able to O! or walk for about 10 days but my plan is to push thru tomorrow and do at least 1 tape. If we are not too late I will do it tonight, last night got too late.

Cheers,

Nancy

I too wonder what happened to Oct. It's been going too fast huh?

I know I have been missing a lot lately but so has Susanna and Jennifer and a lot more O! buddies.

This is the time of year I need mental strength to get moving with the O! everyday. I seem to avoid gaining weight during the holidays if I oxycise on a regular basis. I'll try to be more consistant here and report often.

Thank you all for the hugs. It's been a tough few days.
Hugs to all of you who are hurting.

Jonathan welcome to the board. Stick with it. You'll be happy with the results.
