    Which nut butter is everyone enjoying?

    OMG, I am such a nut butter addict! I'll eat any of it that's not nailed down. We just tried PB & Co Peanut Butter with Honey - my DD loves it. My absolute favorite was my homemade version of Nuttzo PF. I had to keep it out of the house, because I just couldn't stop eating it. I'll probably...

    jumping & plyo

    I'm fine with two risers for box jumps! :o I have improved greatly at tuck jumps, however. The first time I saw one on DVD, I literally LOL at the absurdity that I would ever accomplish one. But after a ton of practice, I can actually do them now.

    working out in the heat

    Wow! I cannot fathom doing Cathe workouts with no A/C! It's been 100+ most of July in St. Louis, and even with the A/C *and* a fan, I feel completely sapped. I should have waited to do the TTM and CF rotation until the heat breaks, actually. I don't feel I've gotten their full benefit because...

    ninja blenders

    If you have a Bed Bath & Beyond near you, they accept the 20% off coupons for the Ninja. My girlfriend loves hers. After doing a lot of research, I decided on a Vitamix for my family. But I have a 10-yo who won't tolerate any seeds or chunks in her smoothies, so it was worth it to us. I used...

    Afterburn or Athletic Training?

    Different strokes, and all that . . . I think AT is MUCH harder than AB. The cardio at the beginning of AT is about the hardest thing I've ever done. IMO, Afterburn alternates between insanely hard and hard, so I get a little mental break. But I love them both, and would highly recommend...

    The movie 'Brave'

    My 10-yo DD and I loved this movie. I'm glad she's a little bigger, because I think the bear would be too intense for little kids.

    step taps/power squats help!

    I can only do these two moves because I use two risers instead of three. Before I received my DVDs, I wondered if I needed to buy another set of risers. Now that I've done To The Max, I think I'll be *just fine* staying with two risers! :o :D My "move" I can't seem to get is the line taps. I...

    To the Max: 2 thumbs up!

    Ellie, thanks for the thorough informative review! I tried To The Max this morning, and agree with everything you said. I only have two sets of step risers, but I have to say two was *plenty* for me! ;) I was a sweaty mess when I finished, but I'm so proud that I was *able* to finish! I had...

    Clean Ice Cream

    I love the frozen banana ice cream. I’ve also been experimenting with creating my own deep chocolate frozen yogurt. So far, my creations aren’t low-fat, but they are clean. They make a super-satisfying treat. My favorite thing about my fro-yo is how not sweet it is – you can really taste yogurt...

    Summer Reading Suggestion Needed

    Stacy, a series that reminds me so much of Stephanie Plum is the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. It begins with Dead Until Dark. I don't like fantasy or sci-fi at all, and I love these books, even though they are about vampires, etc. ;) I'm with you about reading something light in...

    Favorite protein bars?

    Oh wow, I'd never heard of Quest bars. Thanks for the tip - they look amazing! If you like Lara-Bars (certainly not as great for protein as Quest, but still delicious,) check out this recipe site: Enlightened Cooking: Homemade Lara Bars (energy bars part 3) I've only made the cherry-walnut...

    Afterburn - funny comment from my DD

    My 10-yo DD walked into the living room as I finished Afterburn this morning. I was a sweaty panting mess, of course! Cathe must have said something about smiling, because my DD harumphed, "Well, they're all smiling because they're under contract!" :D I laughed and said, "No, baby, I'm sure...

    Fit - Thanks for the Primal book recommendations. I will check those out. Janie - Congratulations on your success! So glad it's working for you! Here's another recommendation for Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean Diet books. I have all but the Vegetarian one. I'm sure I'll buy it soon - just haven't...

    Red Solo Cup

    I'm not a Toby Keith fan, but this song keeps running through my head when I do the Dixie cup drills in LIS! I'm a good little girl and use the Dixies, but sure wish I were using the big Red Solo Cup instead, LOL! :o The song started playing in my head again when I read Cathe's preview of the...

    Looking for Good Probiotic

    I've taken the Renew Life brand for years, and think it's great. Very $$$, though. :eek: Thus I don't take them as regularly as I should. :o I just saw a new homeopathic doctor this week, and she recommended three brands as being very good (and less expensive.) They were: Orthobiotic Ortho...

    Grapefruit Seed Extract tastes AWFUL!

    Wow! I wish I'd seen this when my mom was having horrible yeast problems last year. At that time, all I knew to tell her was probiotics, coconut oil, ACV, and avoid baked goods. If you're looking for a great lemon pepper, I get mine at Penzey's. Here's my favorite: Spices at Penzeys Spices...

    Total Body Trisets UpperBody

    I have the download, but it's the same warm-up there, too. I just assumed it was like High Reps, and used the same warm-up for both. I *love* these DVDs!

    Buying Downloads

    No, you can use a credit card. It just processes the payments via PayPal, but you don't need a PayPal account. Hope that helps!

    afraid to take the plunge

    I love Cathe downloads! I just took the plunge with the LIS, and I'm in love! We got the Apple cable ($40,) and my husband says it's the best $40 we ever spent. My DD loves being able to hook up her iPad or the laptop to the TV and watch YouTube videos, too. PS - Those of you putting the...
