    Sprinting Nephew

    Dear Cathe, My 18 year old nephew is a senior in high school and currently living with us. He has broken the school record for the 100 and 200 meter dash in his sophmore and junior year and also the 4x400 relay two years running. His goal this year, of course, is to break his own records...

    Do any of you ever regret NOT having kids?

    My husband and I decided not have children before we were married. We both grew up in large and extended families where our parents took in grandchildren. We both feel as if we had had enough babies to last us a lifetime. We love to travel and do so at least 3 months out of the year. We go...

    Guesstimate on price of pull up tower

    Just wondering if there was a ball park figure for the pull up tower? I'm saving my "mad money" to purchase one when it becomes available. I'd just like to know an approximate price within a $100 or so. Thanks! Amy

    passing the plateau of weight loss

    I have a hard time with the data concerning Splenda, etc. Unless, of course, they cause you to actually break down and give in to real sugar cravings? I have read the research and the warnings and have tried to get my husband to quit eating and ingesting them in any form (to no avail). He looks...

    Teaching a college class...frustrated...............

    From another standpoint, there is fierce competition to get into Ivy Leauge schools that now have no tuition...Harvard and Penn if you don't have the cash...and other great schools are upping the ante. I don't think there's a dirth of children without brains or study habits. The private college...

    Eat Pray Love

    It was one of the best soul searching, travel inspiring, spiritual journeys ever. I loved the book. She's a fabulous writer with wonderful prose that describes every aspect of her life, her friendships, her adventures. She writes a damn good book.

    Creatine Questions

    Hi, Thy this link to Muscle and Fitness Hers. http://web.muscleandfitnesshers.com/nutrition/56?page=2 It's a supplement article and I found it very helpful. I take creatine in rotations, especially when I am lifting heavy. Some say it's good to take a break from it. I take it in 3 month...

    CLEAN EATING (Tosca Reno)

    I too loved Tosca's book and I love her column in Oxygen. Did you know that a new magazine called "Clean Eating" is on the shelves also? It's complete with recipes, shopping lists, a month's worth of meal ideas complete with nutritional breakdowns, etc. It's really worth picking up. As for...

    Feet Pains

    I'd definately keep stretching as suggested here. I have problems with my feet and find that in addition to stretching I need good arch support, good lateral support for side to side movement and I replace my shoes often. Rolling a tennis ball under your feet if it is PF will help. This is akin...

    muscle definition for the naturally endowed

    Cathe, Even though this may seem to be a crazy question, it is one that is always on mind as I exercise diligently with heavy weights and intense cardio (for the last 20 years, I'm 42). Although I have some muscle definition in my legs and arms, I don't think it reflects my clean eating and my...

    3 things about YOU

    OK, here it goes... 1) Even though I consider myself a very spiritual person, full of sweetness and light, in touch with my Creator and myself...I CAN SWEAR BETTER, LOUDER AND RAUNCHIER THAN ANY SAILOR, TRUCK DRIVER OR ANY OTHER PROFESSION GIVEN TO RAILING WITH PURPLE, APOPLECTIC PROSE! 2)...

    Salve for a Wounded Heart

    Maybe this was God's (or whatever YOU like to call it) way of letting you know that your heart is too big and too wonderful to keep to yourself. Risk nothing and you get nothing. Love people and they will break your heart; love people anyway. Life and love are delicious adventures. You deserve...

    Like Cathe way better than Power 90X!!

    I like both. But, I will have to say that after P90X, I was able to do Cathe's workouts better. It seems that I broke through plateaus for strength and for endurance with Tony. I love Cathe and I will always do her workouts, but as far as transforming my body and fitness level, I'd have to say...
