It's my Birthday and I will cry if want to

but I refuse to cry on my birthday.

Younger son's birthday was Weds and today it is mine.
The day inbetween (yesterday)  was a downer.

Lots of small things contributed to the down mood.
One in particular is the disappointment in our older son and his disinterest in his family.
However, I have much to be thankful for because my husband and younger son would go to Hell and back to make me happy, as I would do for all three. 
I gave up on getting any reciprocal  support from our older son long ago but still slide every now and then.

Anywho,  I stopped myself from sinking down the rabbit's hole of depression after a short pity party.


I never know from day-to-day how I will physically feel.
One thing I have learned is that exercising to music is my magic bullet.
If something hurts, I modify but keep MUving.
Using pain or a lack of energy as an excuse has never stopped me.
More often than not, I usually feel much better afterwards.

Ended my birthday on a high after deciding to purchase a year of the BollyX Premium membership after a sweet friend sent me BollyX gift cards.  These moves and music just make me smile.

I have been enjoying these so much, I decided to buy a year of Premium.
Finally a workout I can enjoy without editing out annoying *Whoo*s!
The music and moves work great on a bungee and even when sitting.

The Deep State

Don-the-Con seems paranoid about a *Deep State*.

Actually, the majority of Americans know he is incompetent, corrupt, narcissistic, and mean without a moral compass.  Of course, this majority want him gone.  He is ruining the psyche of our country and the respect for our institutions.

The *Deep State* is not hidden or deep.
It is the majority of Americans who know he does not have the right stuff.

Current Workout Favorites

I still bounce daily to edited files with music only.
Currently, I am focusing on edited purBounce files by German instructors, some originals of which are on the youtube WellShaped TV channel   Also once or twice a week, I do a youtube routine found on ShirlinaFit.

Second part of my daily workout has been mostly either Misty Tripoli or Nia.
I break up the longer NiaTV routines and am currently in the middle of their newest Community event routine Wild and enjoying the two instructors, especially since I burnt out on Debbie Rosas even before Carlos retired.  Once or twice a week I do a single weight or slider weight cardio-core routine like a ThunderBell or Axion Core instead of dance.

During the day, I either take a few 10 minute outdoor walks or do an indoor walk or dance while gently bouncing or sitting on a swivel chair, sometimes holding a band or fitstix.

I am enjoying all of the above with no feeling of dread and seem to have much more energy and less pain.

Also recently purchased the streaming of Strong by Zumba on Amazon and am loving it.

BollyX has gifted registered emails with a premium membership for free till the end of April.

I love the free Jessica Smith videos on youtube but prefer to play my own music.
This one in particular is very good on a bungee:




I do the first 20 to 30 minutes on my feet then the rest while sitting in a chair.

Shirlina and Leaps&Rebounds Bungee

I just did Day 1 with Shirlina and and will do more of them!
Her Shirlina.fit youtube channel has all of her rebounder routines.

Her newer routines are done on a large Leaps & Rebounds bungee which is very reasonably priced on Amazon.
Its bounce seemed identical to my PROBounce bungee.
Each move is listed and counted down for 20 seconds followed by a 10 second rest.
There are 5 circuits and the moves are varied.
Whole workout is about 20 minutes.
She plays decent music but you can mute and play your own.

This is the playlist I will be doing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppkB7jH8qok&list=PL0EFxpvVwcsxhBuoX5j1M_mm5X0pfL4mJ

You can also get a file that visually lists her routines for free on her website for traveling or doing your ow thing with your own music.
