Panic Attack!

Here's proof I'm a mere mortal
Susan Weiner

I have to admit that it's been difficult getting back on track with my workouts and nutrition plan post-Italy. My workouts over the past week have been sporadic at best, and my diet has a lot to be desired.To make matters more stressful, the 2-day boot camp I will be attending in Los Angeles is now only six weeks away.

While surfing the web this past weekend (when I should have been at the gym!), I came across the website http://hundredpushups.com. The 100 Push-Up Challenge outlined on the site is a progressive six-week training program that is geared towards enabling participants to complete 100 consecutive push-ups. Training is three days per week and takes roughly 10 minutes per session.

I need a big kick in the you know what, so I decided to give this a go. I took the initial test and was able to complete 12 push-ups in good form. As I type this article I am in the middle of week one of training. I'll keep everyone on MindBodySanctuary posted on my progress!

It would be great if some of you would join me in this challenge! We can support one another throughout the 6-weeks of training. If you decided to join in, let me know and keep me posted on your accomplishments!

Stay strong.

Peace.

Susan

COUNT ME IN FOR THE PUSHUPS
by Sharon
Ok, I'm in. I have been telling myself to find a way to build upper body strength. This should do it. I just completed my Day 1 pushups. It felt good. I'm at the lowest level, but hey, not for long!

I'm with you on this! I like the idea that I can do this at work, indoors, when it's raining, and I know I'll feel better for it - eventually!!!! When I'm not so sore!

I love reading your website. I've had panic attacks since 16 and I'm 46. The dr put me on zoloft and xanax and I don't want to be on ANY medicine! I signed up but haven't started yoga/belly dancing class. Please help!

Dear Susan,

I love reading your postings. I love the idea of training for 100 push-up challenge. I know it is possible. I trained in Martial Arts many years ago and with a lot of pain and moaning we had some high scores of push ups. The thing to remember then while talking to my collegues "It only takes 3 minutes to complete 200 push up challenge." If you want to give up remember within minutes your goal will be achieved.

Anyway, I am 44 years old now and I feel like I am starting over...With my life in general amd in physical fitness. I am able to do 15 push ups now. Then I collapse. It is so hard to do. It is so easy to give up.
I am going to keep trying to get to 100.
Tell me more about this Boot Camp you are attending. Is it too late to try to register? Where exactly is it?

I live in San Diego and I definitively will drive to participate.

All the best in your efforts Susan. I love your articles on Italy. Something I can truly relate to. Bologna one of my favorite places. And of course there are more like Lucca, Siena, San Gimmignano and Volterra. Some really splendid places to rest your eyes on.

Take care,

Beata

Hey Susan, I'm not big on corresponding with newsletters. I guess I figure the people who write them have too much going on to be bothered with what I could say, but I wanted to say thanks for putting the hundredpushups link in your newsletter. I'm not sure when I'll start the "challenge", but I want to soon. Thanks again!
by Susan
Alisa,

Glad to hear you're thinking of joining this challenge!

In regards to corresponding with newsletters ... I love to hear feedback and am thrilled that you have taken the time out of your day to read my article!

Train hard; stay strong.

Peace.

Hi! Susan my name is Martha and I read your article, God bless you.

As a new mom (who has always been a size 3 & I'm nin my earky 30's) I find your website inspiring. I have been having trouble losing weight & horrible pain w/my hips as well as lower back. I believe a healthy diet (especially since I am breastfeeding) as well as excersize can make a big difference in post-pardum feelings.
by Stacy
Dear Susan,
I started w/lady pushups (where you are on your knees) where the toning seemed faster & easier so I could build up regular ones @ the same time. This way, you don't get so sore to where you don't want to excersize the next day. I started w/5 regular, 10 "lady". I've always been stocky yet in shape so this helped give towards a more "toned appearance & strength. Especially since I am toting a baby around.
by cecilia
As a Grandma I too started with lady pushups. The first day only got 10 then I had to go take a nap. My husband and I have started walking for 40 minutes a day and already I feel a difference. We are both over 50 and both over 100 pounds overweight. We are determined to keep up with our lifestyle changes.

Dear Susan,

I was allowing my heart to guide me so here I am writing you. I strongly believe that Panic attacks are connected with FEAR. I also believe that if we rely on our own intellect only, we just keep going in circle...we must be aware that our human intelligence is limited unless we recognize the fact that we need to stay connected with the Divine Matrix Intelligence that people call God or Allah or Jesus...in the end only the name is different, it is the same Divine Healing Stream Energy Flow that coordonates the entire universe and beyond. I am 45 years old and I work for the last 22 years in the skin care field as an aesthtician. I was blessed to work in the most famous spas in NY CITY and I met so called human celebrities like movie stars and name it who else...Something..( I am not going in details cause I'll write a book right here and now) but I just want you to know that after years of always helping others ...as being an instrument of love...and experiencing impossible things for human mind to understand I got myself into panic attacks( another story that I'll end up writing a book)...I was blessed to meet alive saints as Mother Amma from India and I study Sai Baba's teachings as Dr Dyer did too... I've seen him on your site! With Dr. Dyer I had a powerful experience which I believe he is not aware of it...we were face to face at Jacob Javits Center in NY and even took a picture together...it meant to happen because he did not take a picture with absolutely anyone at that event(he even mentioned that he will not take pictures)...so, when I was guided to get up and follow Divine Guidance I had no clue that we'll take a picture...I read his books and our connection is beyond this wordly plane but when the time comes we'll know why things happen the way it happened. An incident occured while he was talking on the stage and I was guided to get out from the room of course for something really unexpected...another story that I am guided not to talk about it at this moment...to make it short, through what I experienced myself as panic attacks I believe it is a Divine reason for all of those that go through this awful moments!
Personal, if I start activating the blood circulation through push ups, I activate the blood pressure to go high and the heart starts beating so fast and my body shakes so, I don't mean that I am right...I respect everyone's opinion, but somehow I was guided to get connected with your site and I never ever heard about you or your site before. After I emptied my mind of any thoughts I was able to hear that Divine inner voice and here I am writing you.
My message is that panic attcaks are connected with tremndous fear that people might not even be aware of it. Those who go through panic attcak need to reprogram their thinking also the belief system. We can find the answer in STILNESS...it is a lot to say here and I truly feel that it happened to me for a very specific reason. When I'll found the missing puzzle I'll be able under Divine Guidance to help others.
I am still waiting patiently to experience whatever I need to exeprience in order to fully realize and experience my true identity.
If you are in touch with Dr Dyer, he can tell you about this part...and I'll write you what he said in his own words" ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO BE SOMEBODY( MEANING AN INTELLIGENT FAMOUS HUMAN) and when I finally became somebody meaning FAMOUS, I just realized that who I truly am has NO BODY." If you want to contact me fell free to do it...I reccomend to all of those who'll be guided to read this out of this world book, to go on amazon.com and order " TRANSFORMATION OF THE HEART" by JUDY WARNER( IT IS SAI AVATAR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD THROUGH JUDY'S OWN TRUE EXPERIENCE)...In love service, Simona from NY CITY
