One of my favourite breakfasts below: Steel Cut Oatmeal (I usually make a cup, dry, at a time and it does a few breakfasts) 1/2 mashed banana 1/4 cup fresh pineapple (diced up) Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes Tbsp walnut pieces Mix all together and enjoy. The following day, I can...

You guys really are great!! What wonderful advise / motivation tips!!! I've jumped back on the wagon full force with good eats and a workout schedule planned for the week. Jodelle, I'm curious where you find out your information on how many calories you need per day. I did mine based on my...

So, I'm trying to keep track of calories in / calories out during this first part of my new lifestyle. I'm having trouble, however, calculating calories in my oatmeal!!! It seems really high, perhaps I'm confused. So, I eat Steel Cut Oatmeal and I make it 1 cup (dry) to 4 1/2 cups water...

Thanks to you both. The sad part is I know what I have / need to do - it's just doing it that bogs me down!! I know 99% of us have all been there. And, you are right, it was just one day / weekend. Nothing to throw the towel in for. So, I've decided that the best plan of action for me this week...

So, here I am again, finding myself beginning yet another new fitness / healthy living lifestyle. I jump in all excited, guns ablazin' and BAM, the weekend comes and I throw it all away!!! I'm looking for ideas / suggestions to staying on track during the weekends. I used to work a 2nd job so...

Perfect!! That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I'm a little confused at to the MET value thing, I'll have to do some digging. More so on my treadmill / eliptical machines as they record calories burned and it's way off from what WM says. But it's a guideline, none the less.

Hi Cathe & Fans, Just wondering if you could give me a rough idea of the amount of calories burned during step aerobics. I know it depends on the level and intensity and which DVD and all of that. It doesn't need to be exact, just rough. I did find something that told me about 7.5 calories...

I normally do my workouts in the evening but find lately I've been slacking and / or running out of time with other chores to workout. So, I've decided I'm going to give mornings a try, starting today. I got up at 5:45am this morning and did a 45 minute workout (step). Felt great. I had my...

First off, I can't wait to see this movie - the trailers look awesome. I have not read the book!! Jan.6th was the 8th anniversary of my sisters death. She died of cancer at age 37 (ironically same age I am now!) She left behind a devestated family, a husband and 2 teenage children. Anyway, I...

I received mine yesterday and I live in Barrie, ON Canada. Love it!!!! The tag on it said it was mailed on the 23rd.

I bought the new one (and I have the old one as well) I think it's definitely worth it. Lots of updated info on the cooler plans and stuff. Or at least, get it from the library for a read.

It was fantastic!!! Out theatre also some some "whoots" when the shirtless guys appeared!! It was great. I too, heard it had bad reviews (I personally didn't hear any) but I thought it was brilliant. It's nice to find a movie you can "lose" yourself in - I didn't think about work, BF, stress...

I had been trying to get tickets for over a week and my local cinemas were sold out for the longest time!! I thought I was giving myself lots of time to get them a week in advance - whoops, I was so wrong. Anyway, after disappointing myself and saying I'll just wait for the hype to calm down...

Don't mean to boast Elizabeth, but I have one of those guys. I've been on the "verge" of being sick for a couple days. You know when you just feel blah but it's not enough to keep you away from work - just enough to make you miserable?? When I got home last night, dinner was being prepared for...

I find it all very thorough. I still have to modify the push ups and ab work but I'll get there. It's the same in LIC - I have to modify. But each time I do it, I find I can get that one extra 'real" push up in or that extra crunch in. It'll be a real victory for me when I can do it all!!

It will be a staple for me too once I stop hurting!!! They always say 2 days after is the worst - yep, have to agree. My legs are screaming at me today. Glad yesterday was a rest day for me!

I've been a WW member since June this year and I love the program. I've only recently upped my workout portion to be more consistent and hopefully I'll see the effects. I've been working out with Cathe since July (from the beginning with Basic Step) and now have about 10 Cathe DVD's which I...

Now I know what the hype is about. I just found my new favourite Cathe workout!! It is really great - hits all the muscles. I did the whole DVD last night - had to modify the push ups and ab work a little bit and of course, play around the amount of weight a little, but it is fantastic. I do...

Guess what I'll be doing tonight???? Yeah, it finally arrived. Can't wait to rush home and try it. I can feel the DOMS already. Hhhmmm, do I go right at it or do I start with the premixes??? (Hope that is the toughest decision I have to make today!!)

Yikes!! It hasn't arrived yet!!!! Darn postal system!!! Perhaps today!! On a positive note, I did do Low Impact Circuit on the weekend from start to finish, without stopping, with the 2nd set of risers on my step. What a difference that extra set of risers make!! And I really found it better...
