Colleen,

Good luck with Jon and school, some kids are able to do well at

school in spite of OCD. However, if things don't go well, I believe

most all of us here have dealt with school & OCD issues, so you'll

get loads of comments/suggestions in that area!

didn't have thoughts of harm when he was younger (now 16) but

at preschool & elementary age, he had lots of reassurance questions,

asking the same again & again. At that time, I didn't realize that

could be part of OCD. For him, he was greatly interested in his body

and would ask about every little thing he/it felt. Would ask how

long cut/scrape/blemish would be there. Would ask if something would

give him cancer. Would stay over-interested in little cuts, etc. I

still recall the soccer game where he was holding his finger & kept

staring at the cut (or whatever) instead of paying attention to the

game he was in, would keep getting distracted by it, LOL!

One thing with OCD thoughts, is that the person will NEVER act upon

them, but that doesn't make the thought any less disturbing I'm

sure. Here is a good site that has some articles that might be

helpful. There might be sentences/portions you might read to your

son to help him see how common this is. The article " A Touching

Story " applied to my son.

Wow. I think you may just exercise more than me How long have you been able to keep up w/ that routine? I can't imagine doing 2 hours of cardio back-to-back. Your resting heart rate must be in the 40's...LOL...

I don't exercise as much in a week as she does in a day. LOL I don't have that kind of time to devote to it without giving up my job and maybe sleep, too.

ROFL!!!! ive had weeks like that too!! LOLOL

LOL......You guys crack me up. No I don't break it up through the day.

I I usually do it between 9 and 10 am and get done around 12 to 1pm.

Withe kids going back to school I will need to do it in the late

afternoon because my work schedule will change to mornings which I

dread because it's easier for me to get it done in the am. I will admit

that my exercise feels like a second PT job....lol Maybe as I get older

I will learn to ease up. I think I have a big fear of gaining weight

because I became slightly over weight once I hit my 30's and I had been

thin all my life so once I started losing I just added more to my

routines and now its a habit I can't break.

Sometimes I feel it rules my life but I guess I could have worse

habits....lol

Once I get the pics on my digital camera of my kids I will post some.

I'm so glad I joined this group. Talk soon

Sherry,

I just started working out again.... and I want to get to that

point. I rather exercise as many hours as you and be fit and healthy

than my current situation right now. " YOU ARE MY HERO! " (((Knees on

floor bowing))) :-))

It's funny somehow after I hit 25 and evil fat twin appeared during my

pregnancy and took over my body!! She is still here today (I'm 34) and

refuses to go away. So now I'm starting to run away from her and taebo

the heck out of her, hopefully I loose her along the way and never see

her again ;-)

I really enjoy this group.

hi sherry, i think that if you can maintain 2 hours a day(i wouldn't go with more then that personally speaking) for a while then its fine but pick a week or two here and there to ease up and give the body some time to rest from it all. you actually get better results if you push yourself hard then take a rest(hence a day or two of rest between weight workouts/body parts). for me i do cardio and weights in the morning for about 35-70 mins then 20-60 mins of yoga or pilates before bed. it just all depends on whats going on and how i feel. have a great day kassia

That is really great ! Making a decision to get in shape is

awesome. If there is anything I can ever do to help let me know. I am

Sherry,

I went skating today with our homeschooling group! I forgot how much

fun that was!! I felt kinda weird because I was the only mom skating -

but I had a blast! Yesterday I only did my Tae-bo - but today I'm

really energized and I'm about to do my Tae-bo and my 10 Min solution

abs and toning. Today I fit into a size 12 comfortably I didn't have

to lay flat on my back in my bed and suck in the gut to fit in

anymore!!! Ya know what I mean ;-)?? boy... my husband gets a kick out

of that he just laughs and shakes his head.

[Guest guest]

That's great !!! Keep it up and before you know it you'll be at

your goal weight. So your kids are home schooled? I could not imagine

home schooling, For one I have a hard enough time helping mine with

their homework....lol And another thing is I'd go crazy having them

home all year long...lol

Well I'm off to do upper body work then cardio. Then it's off to school

shoppping for my kids, they start back on tuesday yippeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Talk soon, Sherry

Sherry,

Yes I started homeschooling in Aug... Actually is not bad! My son

has ADHD so I wanted to take him off the Meds. When two Psychiatrist

told me that most of the time they outgrow the ADHD and that the

meds are usually for the teacher to control them (his is mild ADHD)-

that was it for me. I have discovered many wonderful things about my

kids that otherwise I would not have noticed.

I haven't mentioned this but both of my kids are doing tae-bo with

me! My son is a black belt in Taekwondo so he corrects my form and

my daughter is a white belt - she actually does the 10 min solution

with me too! she has a six pack and I tell her I want to be just

like her - she loves that! it works out well because I can count

that as their physical education and it motivates me to do it for

them as well.

Another reason I am homeschooling is that we are moving to Sardinia,

Italy in Jan (Military move) so the transition wont be as hard and

that will give me the freedom to travel with them.

TTY soon,
