If you are eating clean, how much sugar (meaning refined sugar) do you allow yourself to eat...none at all? I am hearing lately that sugar is the enemy. :(

Thanks for the replies. I guess I shouldn't have put that bit in about fruit. I am definitely eating more than just fruit. :) Adding more protein does help...I just run out of ideas and get tired of the same old stuff. It is hard now that I'm really trying to watch what I eat because there...

I have been trying to eat really clean for the past few days, and I am starving. My goal is to get a little leaner and make more healthy food choices, but I really do not need to lose weight. I want to make sure that I'm eating enough to keep my metabolism up since I love doing my hard Cathe...

I'm currently 7 weeks pg and started feeling nauseous all day long about a week ago. The thought of most foods makes me cringe, though I do usually feel a little better after I eat something. I can't exercise, and I'm totally exhausted. This is my second pregnancy and only had morning...

Thank you for your responses. I just got my period today, so that's that for this month. In a way I'm a little relieved that it came, being that it was only 3 days late. I was starting to get worried that my cycle was getting crazy on me. That would be maddening when TTC. My hubby and I are...

My period is a couple of days late, but I'm still getting a negative pregnancy test result (with a First Response home test). I figure I'll wait a week (if I can wait that long!) and test again if my period still hasn't come; but I'm wondering if anyone else out there had an experience where...

We have a beautiful 16 month old little girl; and now that we are trying to decide when to start trying for another, I feel guilty thinking about splitting my time between two, when my daughter is so accustomed to having me all to herself. Anyone else struggle with this?

Don't be discouraged. When I was pregnant, all I wanted to eat was what I previously considered "junk". I had all of these great intentions of eating clean while pregnant, but once it happened, I wanted bad-for-me carbs and fast food. The good-for-me stuff did not appeal to me at all, and I...

When I went off of birth control to get pregnant, I experienced VERY oily skin at first, but it did straighten itself out after a few weeks. I did not experience any changes in weight, but I did experience a lot of hair loss when I went back ON the pills after having given birth (which didn't...

Has anyone experienced any trouble switching from their regular form of birth control pills to the generic form of the same drug? I like the idea of saving a little money each month but am a little scared.

Anyone ever have one of those days where you take a look in the mirror and you think to yourself "Geez, what would I look like if I DIDN'T work out?!". :eek:

I really want to clean up my diet and get off of the junk food, but I do not need to lose weight. I find that when I try to eat more clean, I end up restricting myself, not eating enough, and losing weight as a result. I'm not ultra-skinny, but when my weight goes below a certain range, I find...

I tried to use the Palmer's brand of Cocoa butter and Vitamin E and got a HORRIBLE rash from it...apparantly an allergic reaction. I had never heard of such since it is suppose to be an incredibly gentle product, so I guess I'm the strange one. Anyways, I stopped using it early in my pregnancy...

With a new baby and really busy schedule, I'm considering getting up at 5am to do my Cathe workouts because I'm seeing no other way to get it done consistently. Any other early morning Cathe enthusiasts out there? What's the earliest you've gotten up consistently to work out? I need some...

I'm a first-time mommie to a beautiful 5-month old baby who was on the PERFECT schedule....until the time change! She was sleeping until 7:30 each morning, so I was able to get up at 6:30 (when my DH gets up for work) and get my Cathe workout in before little one got up. Now she's waking up at...

I have always battled cellulite, and I know that my body image would be SO much better if I would stop obsessing about those darn dimples. It sucks. I think all that you can do to really improve the appearance of it is work hard and eat clean. I've heard that anti-cellulite creams and the...

It looked to me like she (the trainer) uses a lot of band work, which we all know can be very effective. I've also read that she uses Pilates-type equipment in a lot of her work with clients, so I think it's just a different approach to strength training than what most of us here are accustomed...
