Well ladies, all of you have MADE MY DAY. The best news I have heard is that Columbia has Trader Joe's. I was absolutely moritified that I would not be able to get the food I really like. I am also quite happy with the idea of Great Sage - we LOVE vegetarian food. I imagine it will be pretty...

Hi All - I got a really good promotion with my company, and I am moving from California to Maryland. I am thrilled to live closer to Cathe's operation - perhaps can go to an event or two. I am hoping to find some Catheites in Maryland. My husband and I know absolutely no one in Maryland -...

I started with Vol 1 (Susan Harris), Vol 2 (Janet Jones Gretzky), and Vol 3 (Sandahl Bergman). I LOVED the Firm. And when I started exercising again after a long hiatus with cancer treatments, I started with these volumes. I only do Cathe now - but God love the classic firms. They are...

Oh my. . . Boo-Boo Park Not good at all. Hey Shannon - my husband (who I just married in March) and I met on July 25, 2006. July 25th is a GREAT day!!! Have fun on your anniversary. :)

Hi Cindi - I love Rick Bayless!! I've been to his restaurant one time and he was there! I didn't think he would be there - and then I saw this brunette near the front. I realized it was his WIFE and he HAD to be there if she was there. I nearly got whiplash looking around the restaurant and he...

My very favorite chef in the whole world has an introduction in one of his cookbooks Everyday Mexican and other information on his PBS show. Rick Bayless - who I adore, adore, adore - is a lean, beautiful man. He lost about twenty-five pounds in his mid forties. His exercise routine includes...

I get pretty hungry after a workout most of the time - sometimes not - but yes, sometimes I am ridiculously ravenous. I try to do a small but light shake after a weight work out which helps - water, soy protein and a hint of vanilla and agave nectar for flavoring and ice (I can't do whey protein...

I think I got this from Oxygen Mag and I make them almost every morning - For two pancakes: 1/3 cup oatmeal 4 egg whites 1 tsp cinnamon 1 TBS peanut butter pinch salt Top with agave nectar. It's like 220 calories and something like 30 grams of protein. YUMMMMM!! I love them...

I LOVE Flatt and Scruggs! Bluegrass music ROCKS!!:eek: Embarassing music: Most of everything I own! However, I love the old Schoolhouse Rock songs. "Conjunction Junction, what's your function? . . . ." I used to be an English teacher (and still am a couple of times a year!).

My biggest surprise healthy cookbook and one of the BEST I have ever used - and I use it all the time. Rick Bayless's Mexican Everyday. Now - all of you are thinking I'm crazy - Mexican as healthy? ABSOLUTELY! This book is based on what we do every day with cooking - so the recipes are quick...

I agree - you have to keep up the weight training no matter what. However, I have seen my best results when I focused strictly on circuit workouts. When I was doing the 3 days a week of weight training and separate cardio, I saw results - just not great results. I have been doing a rotation with...

Yes - I have it - got it a few years ago. I don't use it anymore now that I have a Vita-Mix. I found the juicer to be quite cumbersome. I mean - it juices well although the tamper is too long and I ended up with ground plastic in my juice. Honestly - I LOVE the Vita-Mix. I can make green...

Hey Carola - This just drives me nuts. I was told by my naturopath to try to only eat organic soy as much as possible since it is one of the most "treated" plants on the planet today. And now I have to watch for truthful organic. . . sheesh!! Thanks for the article!

Hello! I have nothing to say about your training, but may I please offer a huge THANK YOU for participating in this walk. From all of us who are breast cancer survivors, we truly appreciate everything you do to help us. I'm not sure if you are apart of this group - but I wanted to be sure to let...

I read it a few years ago - still have a copy of it. He makes some excellent points especially when he discusses the history of sugar - and yes, so much of what he says is true about the detrimental effects on our bodies. However - I do think he displays extraordinary extremism. I mean - really...

I agree with the age 40 thing, although there is another thread in another forum saying that age means nothing for weight loss. I don't really agree - even Jillian Michaels in her new book talks about the vicious cycle of estrogen and gut fat and how it works to keep the pounds around our...

I did Low Impact Circuit for the first time tonight and I thought it was GREAT - I'm sweaty and tired! I love IMAX2, but it is high impact in a lot of places. If you want low impact - I say go for LIC.

I just bought and have started working with High Step Challenge. I was surprised at how much endurance that DVD takes! I think it is wonderful - it is a circuit style workout. I think it is one of the best workouts I have had with Cathe. I also recommend IMAX2 for pure, hard core aerobics. It is...

One of the men's muscle mags has a whole section on pyramid style workouts in this month's edition. I read it a couple of weeks ago - so I can't remember which one. There are, apparently, many ways to do pyramids. Cathe's video is the most basic method - but they say just doing the UP is great...

Edith Wharton is one of my VERY FAVORITE authors. My favorite, favorite is The Age of Innocence. I read Custom of the Country many years ago, and I would enjoy reading it again with all of you! I will anticipate starting on May 4th if that is okay with the group! FUN!!
