    I juat don't FEEL like it anymore!

    Hi, I went through a brief period like this a couple months ago. I just needed a break from the rigorous exercise. Rather than stop exercising altogether, I did Pilates and Yoga for 2 to 3 months and then went back to Cathe when I started to miss it. One thing I have learned is not to...

    Project Runway finale!!!! (***spoilers***)

    Michael was my favorite up until last night. His collection was surprisingly dull and a big disappointment. I didn't particularly care for any of the designers collections, so I started a count of how many pieces in each collection I would wear. My tally almost mirrored the judges results...

    What workout did you do today?

    Oooh, I'm late as usual. Yesterday, I did Power Hour and today I plan to do the Solid Sculpting premix from Low Impact Step/Total Muscle Scultping DVD. Tracey "Where there's a will, there's a way."

    Do you feel that you are obsessive about working out?

    Me too Michelle. Gearing up for exercise requires a daily pep talk and pushing the "I don't feel like it" thoughts out of my mind. As much as I enjoy the results, the best part is getting it over with! Tracey "Where there's a will, there's a way."

    brown sugar or white???

    Hi Teresa, Whether brown sugar is better than white sugar depends on who you ask. I fall into the there really is no significant difference camp. Brown sugar supposedly has more calories than white sugar but it also provides some nutrients while white sugar has none. My uncle swears by his...

    diet/eating programs that work for you...

    My diet is pretty similar except I would add a cup of low sugar yogurt (Dannon Light n Fit) and a piece of fruit to my breakfast. I would also eat 1 to 2 sausage patties with my oatmeal instead of seeds/nuts. I am not big on salads so lunch is usually some lean protein with vegetables, or...

    What's in your purse?

    I really hate purses and always find ways to avoid carrying one so this... http://tinyurl.com/ybdyw6 ...has been a God send. It carries everything I need and is very compact. I just toss in my lip gloss, grab my keys and go. Tracey "Where there's a will, there's a way."

    what type of shoe do you wear for step?

    It's funny that you ask this question since it has been on my mind too. I am tiptoeing my way into step workouts and started doing Low Impact Step about 3 weeks ago. I found myself wondering why I did not hear Cathe and the crew's feet when they step on the step but I sound like an elephant...

    good morning exercise

    Thanks for clarifying that. After looking at the visual, I agree that 16 pound seems like too much weight for an exercise like this even though that man makes it look so easy. Tracey "Where there's a will, there's a way."

    good morning exercise

    I am having a hard time visualizing this. You put the weight on your shoulder and then bend over as if you were going to pick up something (keeping your back straight of course)? Or are your arms wrapped around the weight as it lays on your mid to upper back? If I am visualizing it right, it...

    new to Cathe and forum

    Hi Deb, From one newbie to another..Welcome! I think the Cathe workouts offer a good variety. The most challenging thing for me when I first started strength training with Cathe wasn't the exercises, it was the reps. Most of the workouts I did before Cathe only did one or two sets. Cathe...

    HELP!!! I'm choreographically challenged!

    Thanks for this link Amy. I tried Low Impact Step last week for the first time and I plan to do it again today. I don't think I blew it completely but there were a few times when I was ready to throw in the towel. This will surely help. Tracey "Where there's a will, there's a way."

    Victoria's Secret clothing

    I agree Robin. If you're bottom (and hip) heavy, Victoria's Secret pants/skirts are not made for you. I only orders tops and underwear from them. I have three pants that I ordered from them but I had to return them for the next larger size to get them to go up past my butt and thighs. Also...

    mexican food

    Mexican food bad? Never! ;) Seriously Laura, I eat Mexican about twice a month and I generally stay away from the wrapped stuff...burritos, tacos, enchiladas, etc... Quesadillas are my favorite but I don't eat them either unless its my birthday or something. Those flour tortillas that they...
