Good morning! I did better with my snacking last night. After dinner, which was a salad and small bowl of soup, I had a handful of blueberries. Then I brushed my teeth and left the kitchen for the night. Hope everyone has had a good weekend. Hope we can continue our check-in; it is helping...

I love B&G, but I forget about it most of the time. I pulled it out the other day and did about 1/2 of the workout. I felt it in my hamstrings and rear the next day. I need to work this one in at least once a week! Valerie

Good morning, ladies! Last night we came home after eating out and shopping. I only had a cup of sugar-free choc. pudding. However, I had gotten home at 3 pm from subbing at my kids' school, and I just ate way too much bad stuff! I had an Oreo, 1/2 of a banana muffin, and a mini-whole wheat...

Forgot to post my after-dinner eats from last night. We had a function to attend at church, and I ate two small cookies--store-bought, and not even tasty! I'll try to do better tonight. Valerie

I would love to join your check-in! I also have a problem with evening (and sometimes late afternoon) pig-outs. I often blame my binges on "that time of the month," but that "time" is getting to be more frequent, so I know it's just my lack of self-control. I will try to check in here each...

I too had/have pf, and here is what has worked wonders for me: Two years ago I went to an orthopaedic surgeon, who diagnosed pf and a heel spur. He put me in a boot that keeps the foot at a 90 degree angle. This position is best for healing pf. I kept the boot on almost 24 hours a day--I...

I'm not in east Tennessee, but I live in the Memphis area. Like April, I'm glad to hear of someone else in Tennessee who is a Cathe fan! :)

I'm reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, about the meat-packing industry in Chicago around the early 1900s. Thanks to the thread on this forum (Frankenstein), I have started to read or re-read some of the classics. Like the China Study, mentioned by a previous poster, The Jungle will turn you...

You'll love LIC! I just did it this morning. Even with all my Cathe dvds and also using Cardio Coach, I still love to do LIC about once a week. It's great for days when you want a little cardio and a little strength training. And it's so much fun--great music,too. Hope you enjoy!

My heart goes out to you. I lost my mom this past December 21 to cancer, and she was so dear to me, my sisters, and my dad. It was so hard last October when the doctor told us that she would not get any better and that the treatments had stopped working. Years ago, I never thought I'd make it...

I'm probably a little late in checking back in--we've been out of town--so forgive me if you have wrapped up the discussion on Frankenstein. I have to say I loved reading the book and couldn't put it down (after I got through the first few pages). It was different from what I had thought it...

In the middle of doing Cardio Kicks today, I was a totally sweaty mess, and I thought how great it was to be exercising indoors, in my air-conditioned den, with the ceiling fan on high, and still work up a great sweat! I love the advanced nature of Cathe's workouts--I haven't seen any other...

Cathe, My son, age 6, doesn't like eggs--my daughters love them. I recently bought EB eggs for the first time (thanks to you) and scrambled some for my kids' breakfast a couple of days ago. My son sits down to the table, reminding me that he doesn't like eggs. I told him to at least eat a...

Thanks for posting this thread--I picked up the book at the library today and have read a little of it. It is fascinating, and I love the way she writes. The writers of old were so much more eloquent, in my opinion, than most of today's authors. I've decided to read a few classics this summer...

I would love either a 2 or a 3 day road trip-type event--the road trips always sound like such a blast! Memphis, Nashville, or somewhere else in Tennessee would be a great addition to Cathe's tour schedule!! :) We Southern fans would be ecstatic!

I always liked Sabrina too because she was the "smart" one! My sister loved Farrah's character (was it Jill?) and she had Farrah's poster, books, dolls, etc..!

I watched this with my DH last week, too, and I really liked it. I thought it was corny at first--like a made-for-tv-movie--but then it got better. One thing DH and I noticed, though, is how we Southerners really sound compared to the rest of the country!! At the beginning of the movie, I...

I just did this one today--I did the Cardio Blast premix, which is 62 minutes. It's really fun! I rarely do the whole 90 minute workout at once because of the time factor, but it's great, too. Have fun!! Valerie

I really like Neutrogena's Healthy Defense daily moisturizer with SPF of 45, untinted. I have slightly oily skin, and I don't like a heavy cream. I use it on my kids, and they like it much better than traditional sunscreen because you can't feel it on your skin once you rub it in. Another one...

Thank you for your input. I was thinking along the same lines--the less drugs, the better. I think I'm just going to have to do the best I can with the food cravings and tiredness. It only happens one or two days a month, so I'll try to wait it out. Thanks again! Valerie
