I was browsing through Tuesday Morning and came upon Cathe's 10lb weight vest for $24.99. I also bought Firewalkier Loops for $5.99, but passed on the resistance tubing. I just love finding good fitness deals!

I haven't preordered Cathe's new DVDs yet and I'm trying to decide if I want CycleMax or not. I have a recumbent stationary bike and, until I read Cathe's reply to someone wondering if their recumbent bike would be suitable, I figured that I would at least be able to modify. According to Cathe...

It's been raining all day so I took a look through the movies in my Netflix queue. Dear Zacharay had very good viewer reviews and it since won't be available as an instant queue movie after the 24th I watched it, not knowing what it was about. It was excellent, exemplifying good and evil...

I normally don't have a problem figuring out a proper and just punishment for the rare times my 9 year old daughter needs to be corrected. However, I'm stumped in finding a solution to a problem that has occurred at least three times now. She loses jackets and either does not notice or...

This weekend DH and I hiked to the top of Mt. Whitney and back in one day! DH had hiked it twice before and he told me that it was tough, but tough is not the correct adjective to describe it. I have run marathons and so I can say that hiking to the top of Mt. Whitney was just as...

I'm cleaning out my book shelves and listing some books on Amazon. One of the books I'm getting rid of is George Snyder's Freestyle Methods (A Revolutionary New Approach to Exercise for Women). It doesn't have and ISBN so I can't list it on Amazon. Rather than donate it to the library I...

I suddenly have an opportunity to work full time. I've not worked (for pay :)) for about 3 1/2 years, and when I did I was able to work part time and primarily from home. The new position is full time and at the office. I'm very nervous about accepting a full time position. The main thing...

Hi Michele! I made your black bean chilli last night. DH loved it......maybe because I used Polygamy Porter for the liquid. :) Next time I think I'll try 1/2 beer, 1/2 broth 'cause I will be making this one again. Thanks for posting it!

A month or so ago I posted that after my MD noticed that my TSH level was in the high normal range he instructed me to take a daily dose of 100 mcg of selenium. I had been struggling to lose some extra weight and soon after I started taking the selenium the weight loss effort was successful...

I have a Runervals DVD and love how it guides me through a TM interval workout by using a base pace as the starting point to add speed for specific amounts of time. Do the Cardio Coach workouts use this same approach, or at least one that is similar?

When I see a post that is either all lower case or upper case letters, I don't read them. For some reason, it is difficult for me to read when proper capitalization is not used and I figure that the information contained within the post is not worth the effort it takes to get through it...

I know some of you remember Sarah/Imafitnessfreak who used to post on Cathe. Well, I just spent the most amazing birthday weekend with her. Some of you also remember that I struggled with an injury for a couple of years and have just been back into running for the past year. I did just turn...

My daughter has a private dance lesson once a week with an amazing teacher. My DD has learned so much in these lessons that she has graduated from Tap 1 to Tap 2. Sadly, the last lesson with this teacher will be on Friday because she is moving out of the area on Saturday. I'd like to...

Michele, Did I just see a reference to you running? If I understood correctly, then I must say that I am quite impressed!!!! Are you having a secret love affair with cardio?

I'm sitting at the computer today because I have to finish writing a paper on Plato's argument for the divisibility of the soul. Ahhhh. I'm such a procrastinator and so after every few sentences I manage to churn out, off I go to check my favorite websites, Cathe being one of them. The...

Does anyone know why the most threads I can ever see on the Open Forum is 24, the first 20 on page one and the rest on page two? Anything beyond the first 24 seem to have dropped off the face of the earth.

For Mother's Day my DD gave me a pair of tickets to see John Mayer in concert. All I knew about him at the time was what I read on the covers of the tabloids while standing in line at the grocery store. After she gave me the tickets I bought a couple of his CDs and was completely underwhelmed...

Last night, on my almost brand new bedspread, my tiny 3.25 lb yorkshire terrier, Trixie, threw up a hairball not much smaller than she is. Unfortunately the bedspread requires dry cleaning. I'm hoping someone can tell me they know of a way to clean just the spot that she left without...

So I've had this Bryan Kest DVD for a long time: http://www.collagevideo.com/cart/default.aspx But it sat on my shelf collecting dust until I recently decided to add more yoga into my routine. This is very unlike his original power yoga series. You know, the one where his hair is all...

I have convinced a friend to walk a marathon. Walking for exercise is new for her and she's a bit confused about what shoes she should wear. I know a thing or two about training for a marathon but only as a runner so I'm really unable to advise her on the important aspect of what shoes to wear...
