I have a few other issues as well- 3 holes in my heart (that is what got me working out in the first place!), a congenital fusion in my cervical bones that causes pinched nerves in my left arm, and after surgery I discovered I have slight lymphedema which is VASTLY improved with diet, exercise...
Christina- I had slacked on getting my mammograms but the same doc who got me in for the colonoscopy has also been able to get me in for my mammograms each of the past three years and I'll definitely be there with bells on each year in the future, especially now that they have the 3D ones with...
This past week was huge for me.
I did FOUR workouts from LITE.
I have had the LITE set since it first came out, and had attempted a couple of workouts from it, but I struggled mightily and hadn't been able to complete one until this week.

Thank you everyone! It seemed like on all the posts about the new workouts people were like "oh, I used weights a little heavier than Cathe..." and I was feeling a little down. I'm very excited to see what the future holds because I am most definitely going to stick with it! :p
I have recently gotten back into taking my workouts seriously after a really crazy 5 year period of my life. I got the LITE series and and absolutely loving it, have done every workout and am finding myself *very* challenged using about half of the weight that Cathe suggests. Like, barely able...
I like those- ha ha maybe I need to reconsider my own personal motto of "check yourself before you wreck yourself" (thanks Ice Cube) perhaps it's too limiting:p
