Thanks Jennifer. I'll add that to my list of changes. I think some of my workouts could use a break. Meaning, I only do the advanced ones, and sometimes I'm so tired and I know I can't do an advance. But instead of taking it down a notch, I stop altogether. I'm working on conquering the...

Great idea Cathy. I think I will join a group. I didn't want to do that before becuase I didn't have access to a computer and therefore checkin was rather hard. Now that I have my own computer I can take part in those. I also love to discuss fitness. Sometimes I think it is funny/odd that...

kariev...thank you! it helps me so much. I need to get out of these cycles and onto a more balanced life. I want to get married and have a family and I don't want to bring any bad habits with me. Especially if I ever have kids. I don't want to teach them my bad habits. knowing that you...

Yep! See, others have done it and you're living proof!! I just allow myself to fall into a 'woe is me' stage. I just need that reality check that says 'cheryl, you're not the only one out there who has gone through it. You need to stop wallowing in self pity and get up and go' I have...

I think I am two extremes. I go from too restrictive to too 'free'. I don't mean to do this and sometimes I don't realize I've done it until I'm feeling crazed about food. A lot of times, I think I'm looking for an excuse for my behavior. Actually, I have tried a lot of the things that all...

Thank you Jean...my focus is the problem I think. Instead of giving myself any credit for anything, I always see what I didn't accomplish / what I did eat that was bad / the exercise I did forgo... Part of it is me trying to push myself, but it is obviously not working. I think I need to...

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm literally sitting in front of my computer waiting for advice to pop up. Eating is a struggle for me. It's been that way all my life. I love to exercise and weight train (well, most of the time..haha), but eating is such a struggle. I've been all over the...

Hey all, I guess this is a general post as well as asking for help. You see, I'm just plain depressed. I do my workouts every day and I'm not seeing any changes. Ok, I'll admit that my diet has not been the best, but I recently started changing it. I know that is the real problem and I...

Thank you sooooo much!!! I'll go with your suggestion :)

Hi all, I wanted to get a set of total body weights, but I don't know which is better the gym style series or the slow & heavy series. Could someone let me know their opinion? Thank you!

Hey Michelle, That is a good idea. I'll have to try that. I also never thought of contacting the dept of mental retardation. Why, I don't know :) We should keep in touch. Hmmm...is there a way to send a private e-mail? Cheryl

Hi Michelle, Sounds like we do a lot of the same things. My class is about 1 hour - which is not something I can change. I don't have balls in my class, which stinks cause I'm sure they'd love it. I do have to get some mits for them to hit. I currently go around with a mat (one that you...

Hi Michelle, I also teach kickboxing to special needs - but they are adults in their 30's +. I would be very interested in hearing about the kinds of moves you use with them as well as how you get them to participate (some of the more mentally challenged ones). Some of my students can...

Is there a certain rotation you would suggest to start with? I want to lose about 10lbs and build muscle. If you have a suggestion, please let me know. I'm still saving up to buy it, but I should be able to do it soon. I'd like to start this by February :) Cheryl

Can you tell me where it is? I didn't see it.

Thanks Angie, I'm glad to hear that you will still keep Cathe. Are you just doing P90X now or Cathe as well? I'm really anxious to see changes in my body, so I'll get to ordering this ASAP! Thanks again!

Cool! Celebrate it and let it go out with a bang!! I could never understand people who think they are old at 30, it just means something new is beginning, and while I'm ending my 20's, I'm starting my 30's...so, out with the old and in with the new I say :) By the way, you already look...

Hello All, First, I apologize for the intrusion. I had a question and someone recommended that I ask all of you. I have to admit that I haven't read through all of your postings, so my question may be answered already (if I had the patience to read...haha). I have recently have read a...

Great! I had heard of these before Cathe but wasn't sure if it was some thing that would really work. It's nice to hear from people who have actually tried it than the website success stories. I'll check with the Xer's too :) Thanks! Cheryl

Hi all, Through reading, I have noticed that there is a lot of mention of "P90X" and I wanted to know if you could tell me more about it. How have you used these DVDs with the Cathe DVDs or did you use them without Cathe's DVDs? Did they work for you? Does anyone have a plan put...
