Missed again...
 

Yeah, last night turned into craziness. The good thing is that I went to the grocery store and bought a ton of healthy foods - lots of fruit and chicken and pork and a few steaks to treat myself with eventually. Already have plenty of veggies, so I think I'm finally on my way to changing my eating habits!!!

Hopefully I'll be able to O! tonight. Depends on whether or not the phone rings. That's been my problem lately. Should be enjoying the popularity, but I am secretly just craving time alone... hmmmmm... and, oh yeah, time to do my O!:D

Hope everyone has a great day! By the way Nancy, I've been meaning to congratulate you on your weightloss! Way to go!!!

It must not be meant for me to O!!!
 

I was determined to do my O this morning, no matter how bad I felt, so I went into the bedroom, turned on the VCR started L2 and the electricity in the whole house went out. Actually I think it was the whole neighborhood!!! How's that for an excuse?

I waited about an hour and did what I could do in the dark then left for work. I stayed at work for about an hour and came home & went to bed then got up and went to the doctor. I still don't know what's making me feel so bad. My blood pressure was higher than it's ever been in my life, and I was running fever, so she says that I've definately got some kind of imflamation, but she's not sure what so I've got to go tomorrow and have a lung xray and blood tests. I thought I was just having trouble coping with the heat.

Enough complaining, sorry, maybe I'll be able to O tomorrow!!!

Hi!

Barb, sorry to hear about your illness. Hope they figure out what it is and you get back to normal soon.

I DID do the O this morning! And I really felt much better after I did it. Hope to keep it up.

I'm behind in everything, so I've got to get off.

See you later!

Nancy

Hi--

Today is my "day off" from work, but it looks complicated anyway. I still have an appointment at 3:30 and another at 6:30, and I just remembered I have a call to make right away.

Just wanted you to know that I did my O again this morning. I really do feel better when I do it.

See you tomorrow.

Nancy

Hi again--

It looks like no one has posted since I last did.

I did do my O this morning. During the past week I only lost one pound, but I did lose a total of 5.75 inces, so that is encouraging at least!

Nancy

Challenge???
 

I've really bombed out on this thing this time. I can't seem to get motivated. I have been to the health club this week. They are having a contest and you get "points" for different things you do. If you get a total of fve the first two weeks you get a free bathtowel. If you get five the second two weeks for a total of 20 points, you get a shirt with the club logo one it. Well I have made my first week of 5 points. I had to go today to get the final point and I usually do not go on Saturdays, but it didn't hurt me.

Prayer request
 

Hi--

Maybe it will give you incentive to do Oxycise to keep from being in the situation my husband is in.

I took my husband to the hospital yesterday morning with a possible heart attack. (Takes too much time to go into details here, as I'm getting ready to go back to the hospital.)

The doctor said yesterday it looked very much as though he had had a heart attack and possibly has a clogged artery. He is to have an angiogram followed by whatever seems necessary: a stent or a bypass, with possibly a transfusion. He signed for all of them yesterday. Is also signing a living will. He is approximately 100 lbs overweight. (279 at a height of about 5'9")

My "O" has been sporadic the last few days, but I have lost another pound--a total of 19 lbs in about 5 1/2 weeks. I rather doubt that I'll get O done today, except for breathing while driving, but that's how things go sometimes.

Please pray for my husband, Don.

Thank you,

Nancy

Hi everyone:wave:!

Nancy-Your husband Don is in my prayers. I hope all is well with him as I write this post. I know how worried you must feel. We're all here for you. And thank you for pointing out to us that there is no better thing then having good health and getting fit. It really has made me want to get up and O more. I'm happy for you and your weight loss. Please let us know how everything is going with your husband. Once again your in my prayers:)!

Barbg-I know what you mean about motivation. I've been having the same problem especially with this schedule I have lately. I even did Body Flex advanced tape just because it's 9 minutes. The only thing I have a problem with is that my throat gets sore when I do BF. Not a problem with O:)! Maybe it's been a bad time to do a challenge.

Do you think we should start over again? Let me know I'm all for it:)!

Hi!

Don had two stents put in yesterday, and I brought him home today. Hopefully he will now begin to eat right and exercise. There was no heart attack and no muscle damage, but he would have had a heart attack within twelve hours if he would not have gone to the hospital when he did, according to the cardiologist.

Thank you for your prayers.

I think I need another chance for a "challenge" , as I haven't been able to keep up this time.

Nancy

Any Oxycisers out here?
 

I can't fuss because on one has posted, because I haven't either. Ther reason is because I haven't O'ed. I need to get my act together and get to O'ing anyone still around to help motivate me?

Hi everyone:wave:!

It's me the missing Oer!:) I'm so sorry I've been missing so long but my computer at work has been sick and my computer at home is so slow that it's too frustrating to even try to post from home.

Barbg-I need to get back to Oeing too. How about a challenge. Let's post one and invite all heavy breathers to join us like Body Flexers, Oers, Life Lifters etc. etc. I know I will feel so much better once I'm Oeing again. Plus I'll look better too. I hope you're still out there somewhere.

And all you other Oers and all heavy breathers, what do you say to a challenge to get ourselves going again? Let me know:D!

Maybe....
 

Maybe I'm up for another challenge now. I've been really down on exerciisng in general and O in particular. But now I an back to eating my prepared foor and my weight is beginning to come off again, so I guess I need to get back to O. I think what I did was try too hard and burnt myself out last time. But let's decide on a day, and I'll try to contact Nancy & Juilette and any others I can think of.

I'll check back later.

Hi Barbg:wave:!

I know what you mean about being down on exercise. I've been feeling the same way but I have to do something. I'm going to start oeing again more regularly but only once a day. Twice or more is way too much and will burn you out. At least it would burn me out:eek:! So let me know. It would be great to get Juliette and Nancy to join us too! If we decide to do this, let's start a new thread. I'll check back later to see what's going on. I think Monday would be a good start date if we can get it together.

New Challenge
 

Rose I'm psyched up for the new challenge to start Monday. I'll contact Nancy and try to contact Juilette. If I can't I'll try her later.

I had your email addy at one time, but I've lost it. Could you email me at [email protected] and give it to me? Thanks.

If you can start the new thread Monday morning, that would be great, if not, I'll try to start it when I get to work around noon.

Let's get with this breathing. Also I've been re-reading the life breather thread on topicia and again thinking about ordering their video. Tell me again why I don't need to waste my money!
