    quinoa chicken chili

    HOLY MOLY this is really really good! It was a hit with my husband and kids. That says a lot. Can't emphasize that enough. They even happily ate leftovers of it the next day, AND the next day after that. So thank you 1000 x's for a robust addition to my recipe rotation!

    Hot Dog Philosophy

    Tupperware Hey, thanks. Thanks! for the encouragement. It was just bugging me that I really thought I was doing something reasonable, and hubby insisted it was weird. :-) Stubby, where do you think I can find those special containers?

    Hot Dog Philosophy

    Am I reasonable? Or...weird? This is the question I'm asking myself after a slight dispute with hubby. Sometimes--SOMETIMES--my hubby and kids eat hot dogs at home. I hate hot dogs because they pretty much leave me unsatisfied and low-blood-sugary and bloated. So...as the primary...

    What's one of the nicest things someone's told you about yourself?

    I happened to share with a couple friends that I was an "ugly duckling" during my school years...one of the guys said "I have a hard time believing that."

    Cathe, your butt could break things!

    That's what I told my husband this morning, as I struggled through the floorwork in GS Legs. I was marveling at the things YOUR glutes can accomplish...mine are not quite that strong...and so I told my husband that Cathe's butt could break things, karate chop style. with admiration, Gisela

    Low-plane lunges / One-leg squats

    Thank you, Cathe Cathe, you are seriously responsive! Thank you for explaining this to me. My daughter wants me to give you a "really big happy face"...it's up above. -Gisela

    Low-plane lunges / One-leg squats

    Hi! Are low-plane lunges (4-day Split) very different from the one-leg squats in Leaner Legs? The only difference I can think of, is in step height. Is that correct? How are the muscles targeted differently? Thanks!

    Runners/Joggers: Question?

    My everyday sunglasses keep slipping down my nose when I jog. What kind of sunglasses do you wear when you jog? Are there cheap-ish options? "Wraparound" kind? Suggestions? Thanks!

    Full body -- but heavy on the legs?

    Does anybody have any ideas, making use of different videos and premixes, for a full-body weights workout, 60 minutes or less, which covers all the muscles but is especially heavy on legs? For example, something like perhaps pairing Leaner Legs with a short upper-body-only premix from some...

    early morning step

    I put a white-noise machine (same as a fan, really) outside the kids' bedroom, close the doors to the room I work out in, and my husband wears earplugs. The other issue is getting my brain to move my body in a coordinated way at 6:00 in the morning. "She's living in sin with a...

    Talk About a Slap In The Face!!!

    Luv-my-labs--I also made this mistake a few months ago. I was *certain* the woman was pregnant, but it turned out she wasn't. Like you said, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. MCunningham and anyone else--you may not even need to try to embarrass a person who makes this...

    HP and the Deathly Hallows *SPOILERS*

    Just finished it. Borrowed it from my neighbor. Took me three? four? nights and mornings. Sad that the series is over. But yeah, it's certainly wide open for further stories. Miffed that I *had* to read it *REALLY FAST* so that I could finish it before possibly accidentally coming...

    I hate running--is it really necessary?

    Niecebug--don't be jealous! I'm not patient! If my kids weren't confined in the stroller while I chugged uphill, I'd be done for! I'm determined--I know my kids can survive a 30 - 40 minute stroller ride (I mean please, there's worse a little person could be asked to endure), so I pack...

    I hate running--is it really necessary?

    I hate running too! I've been doing a lot of power walking (the pushing 65+ lbs double stroller variety) and my legs are feeling it! I agree with the above poster who suggested that power walking up a good hill is a decent workout. Heck yeah! I've been doing an uphill walk from my...

    Core Max / Stretch Max

    Just a thought--have you checked your public library for these? I did a library catalog search for "cathe friedrich" just on a whim, and my library has Core Max, Stretch Max, and Lowmax. "She's living in sin with a cowboy, and hell--he can hardly even walk!" --J.R. Ewing, "Dallas"

    never mind--retracting a question

    Just curious...does anyone out there take music lessons...

    No, Melissa--TAKE LESSONS! The primary advantage young people (children) have is abundance of time to practice. The primary advantage a grown-up has is maturity. Nobody will need to kick you in the butt to practice, if you're motivated. When my kids are a bit older (out of diapers...
