I am curious if there is info on the new series anywhere other than this thread. The original post said an official announcement would be made early in the new year, so I'm wondering if I'm not looking in the right place for it.

Has anyone tried wrist weights for micro-loading? I have Cathe's 2 lb gloves, but find that I can't swap the weights out quickly since it's a pretty tight fit. I usually leave 1 lb in each glove and just make 1 lb adjustments. Trying to add more weight usually requires me to pause the...

I miss seeing all of the lovely ladies and occasional guys & look forward to their return.

Hi Anne, I just had the lumpectomy. I had 3 tumors (2 known at the time of surgery, one that was detected in the pathology) and the largest was just over 2cm. So they were relatively small and located in a way that allowed for the lumpectomy. My surgeon and oncologist told me that...

Hi Anne, My surgery was about 2 1/2 weeks after my diagnosis. In the time between those dates, I had an MRI & I think I met with my surgeon twice. They also had me see a plastic surgeon to consider a mastectomy. My tumors were Grade 1, the lease aggressive. If yours is the same, that may be...

Hey Anne, Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. The one year anniversary of my diagnosis is the end of this week. I can completely identify with the surreal feeling you are having, I also never thought I'd be dealing with a serious disease. I just want to offer my support and let you know that...

Hi Jen, I was taking the Claritin about 1 hour before the injection deployed and then for about 4 days after. I found that it really did help with the bone pain that I experienced after my first round. You're welcome for the L-Glutamine recommendation. I'm wishing you the best as you go...

Hi Jen, I'm sorry you have to go through this. I also had a breast cancer diagnosis last April and went through chemo and radiation that completed just before Thanksgiving. I'm a huge fan of your blog and have marveled at the number of workouts you manage to get in. This will serve you...

Hi PomsR#1, I also spent most of last year in BC treatments (lumpectomy, 4 rounds of TC chemo, & 35 radiation treatments). I completed radiation just before Thanksgiving & I'm currently on Tamoxifen. I've been doing Cathe ICE & FitSplit premixes and generally keep the workouts to around 30...

For about 15 years I've had occasional low back pain that my osteopath has diagnosed as sciatica. My most recent episode was helped greatly by my acupuncturist who attached what I think was a tens unit to the acupuncture needles in the area & also did some cupping on the area. I also have an...

Just a word of caution here to be careful with the supplements. I was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year and just finished my last chemo round 3 weeks ago with 5 weeks of radiation coming up starting in October. I was taking Menopause Support to help with sleep issues. I can't blame...

On Friday, April 21, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a complete shock since I've always been so health conscious. I'm currently doing Cathe's Strong & Sweaty/Ripped with HIIT rotation & hadn't noticed any change in my energy. I'm the one who stays healthy when everyone around me...

I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian (eating eggs & minimal dairy) for about 22 years. I'm 51 now & I think that it has been the right choice for me. I was never much of a red meat eater and after reading a lot of holistic material that advised against red meat, it was easy for me to drop it...

I don't consider yoga a workout, but it is a necessity for me. Without yoga, I experience low back problems, and then I won't be able to handle the cardio & strength workouts. I try to get in two or three routines each week, usually Ultimate Yogi.
