    Mom Passing

    Thank you for sharing that with me. It makes me feel more sane than insane. Sometimes I can't figure out if I am being normal or if I am just hoping I come across normal. I can't seem to get anything across to people when I talk to them, but when I come here, I feel like everyone gets it. It's...

    Mom Passing

    Hello Everyone, A couple months ago, I posted about having trouble finding time to workout because I was taking care of my mom who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in October 2013. Sadly, she passed away on February 14, 2014. I have tried to workout and I just can't seem to do it...

    Starting Again

    WOW! There is alot you had going on. As I said to Ginger, I can't imagine going through this. You two ladies are amazing! Thank you for sharing your story. I understand the going back and forth to take care of your parents and having nothing left. I'm going to do that...find my happy way to...

    Starting Again

    Thank you for sharing your story Ginger. My mom couldn't have the Whipple done. Not sure why but that's what the doctor said. Chemo and radiation would do little and the doc said she had 6 mos or less. Since it was so difficult for her to get dressed and go to the hospital we decided on...

    Starting Again

    Thanks guys, I appreciate your prayers and suggestions. I was kicking around getting a gym membership, but I really like my Cathe DVDs. I'm just not always good about coming home and doing them. I have done workouts the past two days and missed today but plan on going again tomorrow. I notice...

    Starting Again

    Good point Clare. I think I need to stop the pressure on myself and just do something. The reason I stopped was my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and I've just been overwhelmed and haven't been taking care of myself. I also feel guilty for any time I spend on myself, but I'm...

    Starting Again

    Hey all, I need some help. I stopped exercising for awhile and now I've put on some weight. I want to start up again, but I'm not sure how to go - more cardio or more weights. Any recommendations?? Cheryl

    Christmas List Help

    ok...I need help with my Christmas list.... I'm looking to tone more I think (although that Rockin Party Step is calling my name too) and need opinions from those who purchased the X-Train and lastest new 8 DVDs. Which ones are the best for toning - note: I'm pear shaped and lower body is...

    Cathe's Make-Up

    Ahhh...that makes sense! thanks for all the comments. I'm not sure if I would like less make-up or not though, to be honest. I love make-up and what you can do with it, but I also like throwing my hair up and just running out with no make-up. Personally, I tend to like to follow...

    Cathe's Make-Up

    Ok, I've been wondering this for years, and the answer may already be somewhere in one of these discussions, but can anyone tell me how Cathe manages to keep her make-up looking fresh when she works out??? Is it just cause this is a DVD and there is constant fixing or is there some trick...

    Running & Cathe

    Wow! Thanks everyone for the advice! I never thought about looking at STS. I haven't done it, even though I have the program, because I never had the proper weights, but I'm definitely going to look into it now. I'm happy to see that you are all recommending things that I have on hand...

    Running & Cathe

    Hi All, I'm training for my first marathon (yikes!) and I'm not sure how to incorporate Cathe into it. I run 4 days a week and each week the miles go up, as does the time. Can anyone recommend a good rotation to go with running? Cheryl
