P90X Day one!

OK so I have been impressed with the results my daughter and her hubby have been getting with this workout and decided to give it a try. I am only going to stick with the first DVD ,which is mainly Core . So tonight was the first workout...OMG!!! It is kick ass to say it mildly. I started out all full of energy and 15 minutes in I was feeling slightly nauseated and had to slow down. I tried to pace myself after that but still had to pause on occasion to slow down and catch my breath. I couldn't do all the stuff exactly like they showed ,but I gave it my best. If this is even possible I started to get sore within 15 minutes of finishing the workout, LOL. I will be dieing in the morning..............
BUT I am determined to try to do this at least 3 times a week hopefully 4. So I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck ,I am old afterall ya know .:-)

This story really fired me up!

Did police Taser legless man?
Reports say a California police officer twice Tasered a man in a wheelchair. Get the details of the story.

I have not posted in a couple weeks,but seeing this story on the internet got me fired up enough to break my dry spell. Most of you that follow my blog know that I help take care of my x husband who is a double amputee.

Now I know that you could be verbally abusive even sitting in a wheelchair and you could do harm while sitting in a wheelchair if you had a gun or if you were to strike someone that was close enough to you. BUT if you were sitting in a chair with your two year old daughter on your lap and two rather tall policemen,fully armed were next to you its highly doubtful that you could harm them.
They proceeded to knock the man out of his chair,he claims this happened when they tasered him and the jolts knocked him around where he fell out. Also at some point his pants fell down and they proceeded to cuff his hands behind his back and let him sit that way on the street so all his neighbors could see. One of the neighbors took a video of this ,his pants down,nude from the waist down and hands cuffed.
I am beyond INCENSED about this. Reading this story and watching the video has made me so angry . I hope that these two officers are SEVERLY punished for these actions. Careing for a double amputee I do know this,you can run to get away and its pretty doubtful,correct that, IMPOSSIBLE that they could catch up to you. If you hit a person that is bound to a wheelchair they would not be able to reach you to strike you back if you moved away. So to TASER a person in a chair is inconcievable to me. And to cuff them behind thier back no less is also beyond reason.
I am saddened by this story. With all the real criminals out there ,this is what our policemen do?Are they trained to react this way? Did these policemen feel they had carried out thier duty that day to serve and protect? Disgusting.

Nikki

This is my Cat Nikki,she is 15 years old. Looks pretty good for her age eh? She used to be kinda heavy,and in the last year or so she dropped a bunch of weight and is now really pretty thin. You can see her bones and she is light as a feather when you pick her up. I was really concerned that she was dieing when she started losing the weight. I had to change foods about 5 times before I finally found one she was interested in eating.
When we found Nikki she was maybe 7 weeks old. It was a freezing November night and my daughter and I were meeting my friend Nicole at the gym to work out. She was up on top of a tire on Nicoles car. She saw us and started meowing really loud,I mean REALLY loud. She was so tiny and cute,we opened the door and she jumped right in our car. She was so cold and so hungry. Someone just dumped her in this big parking lot! Well she became a part of our family right away.
She had starvation syndrome from not eating. When she ate she would not stop eating till it was all gone ,and if you had something in your hand to eat she would try to climb up you to get at it. The vet said she would grow out of it as she became more secure in the fact that she was going to be fed.So becouse of this she kinda fattened up and eventually we had to put her on some diet food to slim her down a bit. Thats why it really freaked me out when she started losing so much weight last year. Now I know it;s becouse shes getting old I guess. She seems healthy and aside from sleeping alot she still gets around pretty good.
Shes a real character. She talks to you and nods her head at you when you walk into a room as if to say ,HI! . She used to be realy grumpy with anyone outside the family,but she seems to be mellowing in her old age . When my daughter lived here,she was her buddy. When she moved out I think Nikki felt a bit abandoned but she has since became my husband and my buddy
I can't bear the thought of her not being around and it bothers me that she is getting old. I want her around to sleep at my feet for many more years.
