From day 11 to day 13 (yesterday) I did the basic, the 8 minute and added 30 minutes in the treadmill. I feel good.

Quitting smoking was hard enough for me. It was so much a part of my life and I still can't believe I don't smoke any longer. I'm trying to put the same determination that I put into quitting smoking into my workout. I'm trying to substitute smoking with exercise :-). And I was a very heavy smoker!!!! So now I should become a fitness addict as opposed to a nicotine addict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so proud of myself and I really look forward to my workouts which has never happened before. I used to see working out as a nasty chore that had to be done to achieve a goal (loosing weight) Now I see working out as a daily activity which besides making me feel good also makes me look good. Anyway, I don't know if I make sense but I've never felt like this before but it feels great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Janette- Wow! You are really something! I've been doing Tae Bo for almost 3 months and the Basic still leaves me sweating hard! I can't imagine doing and advanced tape plus put in tread mill time! You go girl! But, please be careful....I know you said you don't feel like you're pushing too hard....listen to your body and slow down when necessary! I don't want to see you burn out like a meteorite....I want to see you SHINE LIKE A STAR!! ;-) Jen > Hello again: > > Ok this is what I have done so far-From day 1 to 4 I only did the > Basic workout-From day 5 to day 10 I did Basic workout and 8 minute > tape.

I find the turnarounds, and The Work in general, to be a way of expanding my awareness. There's no blame in it; rather a dissipation of blame. About your wishing to " release negative energy " - your words spurred me to take " There is negative energy " to inquiry because I felt pain upon reading them. My Work reveals that I held this belief also, and my reaction to that thought is to feel unsafe and tainted. What if I never had this thought? Energy would just be energy, if that...a perception of movement, innocent in and of itself. There's nothing really negative about anything when I approach the " negative " from the stance of, it's here for my self-realization. I felt hurt and angry a number of times this weekend during a " spiritual " retreat and without this reminder to welcome whatever comes up I would have truly retreated -- run away. This invitation to examine what's true transformed my experience; my turnarounds were like a soft pillow I could cry into, and I could see the perceived pain-inflictors as my innocent friends, teachers, guardian angels. There is no negative energy. There is positive energy. My thinking about energy is negative sometimes. (There is energy -- it is true?)
