I rarely wear makeup, and my awesome husband tells me he thinks I look better without it! Personally, I would never work for someone who required me to wear makeup. I live in a somewhat rural area, and I often see beautiful women of all ages out and about who are makeup-free. Whenever we...

I love making up different smoothies for post workout to share with the kids! I don't usually measure--just throw everything in the blender--so these amounts are approximate and make about 2 servings: 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder 1 Tbs ground flax Pina Colada Mix to taste (I use...

Just finished Insanity:Insane Abs and Meso 2, Wk 3 Chest, Shoulders, and Tris. Loving the double wave load in this workout, by the way. Off to make a pina colada protein smoothie...alcohol-free, of course! ;)

I'm so sorry for your loss. Murphy was very lucky to have you as his loving mom!

I don't really have any better suggestions than the previous ones. Maybe a cup of coffee or green tea might help? I just wanted to add that natural body rhythms make most people tired in the afternoon. I lived for a couple of years in Greece and was amazed that most of the shops would close...

I was going to work out today, but on a whim our family decided to check out a campground about 20 miles away from our house, and it was so nice out that we just kept driving another 100 miles to Missoula, MT! We rode a beautiful carousel at a park there and there was cotton candy, mini donuts...

I agree. I saw it at the theater and the 3-D was great, but the story and characters were 2-D.

You are completely right. I guess I could have picked a better quote! I just wanted to point out that freedom of speech gives people in the United States the right to publicly state their opinion about ANYTHING, and not just the right to protest or state a negative opinion about the US...

Just jumping in here to say that I agree you have the right to monitor the material on your privately owned web site, and that's totally understandable. Freedom of speech, however, isn't just having the right to protest and state a negative opinion about the USA! "Freedom of speech is the...

Just finished Disc 15 (Back and Biceps) and was happy that I seem to have made some good strength gains since doing this workout last week. I'm definitely ready for some weekend pizza and ice cream! Have a great weekend!

No reply needed-- I hope get some much-needed rest soon. Sleep deprivation can definitely mess up good habits, both eating and exercise, and bring you down. I know when my children were infants, and I was up half the night feeding them, it was so hard to work out the next day, but I always felt...

I know many people here use heart rate monitors, and I admit that I was tempted in the past to get one, but I decided that I don't want one because I like to listen to my body and adjust my exercise intensity accordingly. I don't count calories anymore either. Maybe you could try a month without...

Just finished STS Disc 14 (legs) and some Core Max. I had DOMS for 3 days after disc 14 last week and thought it would be easier today-NOPE! I am sure I will be feeling it big-time tomorrow. Those tri-sets are tough!

The ladies who are eating 100% clean will probably suggest that you stick to oatmeal (steel cut is better than rolled or quick oats), quinoa, and unprocessed grains, but sometimes I am in a hurry and just need something quick, so that is when I choose a high fiber cereal. The maple and cinnamon...

Hi Carol, I'm sure you will get a lot of great responses here-there are some very knowledgeable Cathletes who are experts in eating clean. I'm not a nutritionist, and I don't eat 100% clean, but I try to stick to mostly whole foods when I can. I usually eat a healthy menu during the week and...

Hi Ivy. It is so tough as a mother to take care of yourself when you are busy taking care of your kids, especially when they are ill, but you will feel so much better and be a better mom when you do, and it sounds like you know this! Honestly, I would stay away from pills-- they can be quite...

What a great blog-- thanks for the link! :)

It's fun to hear what others are doing for their workouts! I just finished STS Disc 13 (Chest/Shoulders/Tris) and I can barely type. I was going to do the 3 1/2 month rotation, but decided to extend it and repeat each week in Meso 2 'cuz I was REALLY feeling the burn last week. Off to get some...

It's been a fun day. I stayed up late last night watching "The Princess and the Frog" with my 4 yo dd- great movie! DH made us all Belgian waffles this morning and then we went for a walk in the beautiful sunshine. I got play around a bit with my new iPad (love it!), then I did Kick, Punch &...

I've got STS disc 15 on board for today. Cathe, if you read this, I just want to say the STS workouts are incredible! I have NEVER had such great results (or been so sore!) before and that includes when I worked out at the gym. You are the best! :)
