Tried a couple :) Wastewitch, My thoughts are that Lindsay's workouts are less intense than Cathe, but as I've gotten older (now 30), I find they are a nice break to super intense stuff. I also feel good that as a busy mom, I'm getting my body moving and oxygenated in the morning. If I...

Weeks 2 and 3 Hi Mel, When you're talking weeks 2 and 3, is that after a 6 week wait? I'm expecting my 1st in October, so this is all new to me :) Thanks! HC

Hey Sarah, I run half marathons (and 1 full) during the summer months and would love to hear how to incorporate Cathe in the mix. This past summer I did upper body when I wasn't running, but I think it would help to do SOME leg work. If you happen to have a framework that works for you I'd...

You could probably start from a seated position and move down into position rather than trying to pull up to it. I think that's the hardest part!

Congratulations! Prayers are going up for you today :)

That's so exciting! DH and I have another 2 years before we'll feel ready to start trying, but I feel like I'll have the same reaction you did. My cousin and his wife began trying last year and in Feb miscarried after 6 weeks and had not told the extended family about that pregnancy. This...

The pictures are AWESOME!!! I just got my videos today and can't wait to try them out. Thank you so much for the gift. I'm incredibly excited. :D

Wow! I just watched and this looks like SO much fun! It's going to be tough, but the coreography is really refreshing! Way to go, Cathe!

Red Lobster sounds great! Did you have some cheesy biscuits? Let us know how Ripped to the Core is. I'm still waiting to purchase Cathe's hardcore series, but it's nice to have other line ups on my "wish list" :) Have a great night! Heather :) :)

Good morning Violets! I maintained control at the pizza joint and the Twins game. It's the first time in a while that I haven't eaten when someone asks if I want more :) I did Pure Strength Back, Biceps and Abs. My legs were too sore from my run yesterday to do anything else. I had...

RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in Thanks for the welcome back, Kali! Who instructs SLIM & LEAN? I love hearing when people change up their routine and get great results--good for you! Also, thanks for reminding me that if I feel I NEED to eat, I just have to make it clean. It's also a great...

RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in Hey Wendy, I'm actually running on my own and we're meeting in Chicago to run the 1/2. I enjoy listening to music on my own :). When I ran the marathon in Duluth, MN (Grandma's) they had a station dedicated to the marathon and the music was great. During...

RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in Hey Everyone, I'm back. I took a vacation in August and then had problems with my toe and then my knee, but I think I'm getting back into shape. Slowly. I'm running a 1/2 marathon with friends and family Oct 1st, so today was a 9 miler. It was brutal. I...

Hey all! I'm back from vacation and came back 2 lbs lighter. Maybe it was lost muscle, but I think a lot had to do with getting adaquate rest, doing different activities (hiking, mountain biking, playing catch, going to ESPN zone and taking on an interactive boxing game ;)). Just thought I'd...

Hey All, Sorry I've been missing this! I've been incredibly busy and done a lot of stress eating, so I don't even like to write on those types of days. However, I will hold myself to it after I come home from vacation. DH and I are going to the Boundary Waters and will then meet family in...
