    What are your top 3 Cathe's DVDs??

    I like Body Max 2 better than Low Impact Circuit, but BM2 has more cardio. Don't get me wrong, though, LIC is still great, but the weight portions are a little too dynamic for me right now. I like more controlled moves in my weight work, and actually threw my back out doing the weight work in...

    The New Workouts Just Make the Older Ones Seem "Easy"

    Okay, so I've been diligently doing BM2, LIC, and a mish mosh of the current workouts to learn them through-and-through, and the other day I pulled out Step Blast. I ended up doing the Cardio & Weights + Step Blast cardio premix (which I'd never done), and I have to say that I actually thought...

    Anyone not get doms from B&G

    I get DOMS. In fact, I just did a 30-minute getting-back-into-weight-training-after-5-weeks-off B&G session tonight, and I'm sure I'll have DOMS tomorrow! Big time DOMS!

    "Any dentists out there?" No, but I slept at a Holiday Inn last night. :7

    Ugh! SO makes up stories

    I talked to SO about this tonight re: the prada bag saying I would not lie to his employees and I was concerned about his lying about this after we had a conversation re this last week and he got so mad at me. He turned around and told one of his employees on the spot that he lied about it while...

    Yummy Homemade Trail Mix

    I posted this in another thread, but just in case some of you don't see it there, here it is again: You can double, triple, or quadruple the following recipe, which I modified from the pocket-sized Abs Diet book: 2 cups raw, unsalted almonds (you can also use 1 cup almonds and 1 cup...

    How about a thermos of soup or chili? He can pour the soup into a cup and drink it, and can stop for a quick chili lunch somewhere. Whole wheat or whole grain English muffins with organice apple butter Homemade trail mix (you can double, triple, or quadruple the following recipe, which...

    Please give me your advice

    The book, "You on a Diet", recommends a few supplements. The one that stands out to me right now is Chromium Picolinate, but I know the book referenced a few more. None will give you a miracle weight loss (for example, I think studies showed the average weight loss for Chromium Picolinate was...

    High fructose corn syrup, it's in everything!

    Another book that talks about HFCS is The Abs Diet. I'm reading You on a Diet now, but read The Abs Diet a couple years ago, and that book actually goes into more detail about why HFCS is so bad for your body than I've found You on a Diet does (but I'm only halfway through it, so it might be...

    My drunk secretary at work

    LauraMax: I agree that you should stop doing her work. If she can't do it herself, and that means you can't get your job done on time, well...there's one write-up (or whatever you call it in your situation). Making $65,000 per year means she should be able to spin gold from paper...

    Do You LOVE Your Job?

    I don't know if you could say I LOVE my job, but I really really really like it a whole heckuva lot! If I were an artist or designer or writer or nature photographer, I would probably love my job. But, hey, I'm pretty darn happy with where I am. I am an Executive Assistant/Office...

    Ugh! SO makes up stories

    Divagirl: I'd tell them it's not Prada. I wouldn't even wait for them to ask. I'm one of those people who will call out a liar (no matter who he is) whenever I get the chance. One thing's for sure, that would teach him to not lie, anymore...or to not tell me that he's lied and then hope I...

    Shall I go Fake?

    I say no. Don't do it. I've been told by many many many people that fake nails damage your natural nail and weaken it, making it that much harder to go back to being all-natural. Here's what I have used with TREMENDOUS success to keep my nails strong, beautiful, healthy, and growing fast...

    What are your favorite "clean" recipes/meals?

    RE: What are your favorite The dressing is pretty powerful. I find that it takes about 2-3 bites for my tastebuds to adjust, but once they do, I can't stop eating it! Yummy!

    Body Max 2 and premixes??

    I'm weird. I loved the Scrambled Eggs, which I did for the first time today. I found it a bit easier than the regular workout, but that's just me - my body reacts differently to different types of workouts than most people do. I am certain that my muscle fibers are primarily fast twitch - I...
