    Question for STS Veterans

    I love M1, so I wouldn't skip it. Love the legs! OWIE!!! I've done STS several times, the long one, the short one (a couple times) and one of Cathe's undulating ones. My faves are the short rotation and one I did. The one I did was the first week of each Meso, then a rest week, then the...

    Paul Katami,Bob Harper for Kettlebell workout

    I have both. I like Bob, I LOVE Paul. Bob's form and instruction isn't so great, and I think it could be an injury waiting to happen. I have his Kettlebell Cardio Shred. It is a good workout, but like I said, I think there's a risk of injury. The production is what I would call "standard...

    Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers?

    I was going to suggest Seattle Sutton as well. It's advertised all over here, and while the ads are slightly annoying :p:o it seems to look like real food. I think they deliver twice a week, and it's not freeze dried "stuff" And I don't think you have to add anything to it. Veggies, for...

    Running & Cathe

    I'm currently training for marathon #4, I'm not the fastest runner, so you can take my advice or leave it. This time I'm running T/W/Th/Sa/Su with full body weights on Monday and rest on Friday. Runs are roughly short/medium/short/medium/long. This is the same as what I did for marathon #3...

    Rave: Butt and Guts Leg Blast premix!

    I did this one yesterday, I did a 3 mile run as a warm up. About 1/4 of the way through B&G, I thought I'd add in the standing work from GS legs. By the time I was done, I decided that was not a good idea. I don't think I've ever done this premix before, and I've had B&G since it came out...

    Healthy foods you just CAN'T stomach

    Beets - ick!! Phoo!!! No matter how they're done, they taste like dirt. Cooked oatmeal/cream of wheat - gag. It's a texture thing. I can eat uncooked oats. Bananas - the texture, and they make me burpy. I can do them whizzed up in smoothies - fresh or frozen - but no way, no how fresh out of...

    Size 12 shoe

    You can also try Nordstroms (yes, they can be very pricey) or Nordstrom Rack if you have one. They have lots of large sizes and pretty shoes. They go up to a 14 online, I think in store, too. Everything from sneakers to fancy heels to sandals and back again. Ooh, I love shoe shopping!!! Nan

    Measuring cooked grains/pasta/rice

    And this is where I get confused. Is 1/4C raw (rice) on the box a 1/2 C cooked, or is that 1/2 C a government serving? I'm probably just over thinking it, but it's always been the one measurement I can't figure out. The dang dry uncooked to wet cooked measurements. Nan

    Measuring cooked grains/pasta/rice

    I'm not normally one to start crap, so I'm going to assume that wasn't meant to be snarky. I did look for it on Google. Several pages worth, and there was no answer. Apparently, I'm dumb and asked wrong, or my Google doesn't go the same place yours does :D:o:p Nan

    Measuring cooked grains/pasta/rice

    Ok I give up! What the heck is a serving of cooked grains/pasta/oats/quinoa/rice, etc. All those dang things that give a dry serving size on the container, but not a cooked one. Obviously the cooking water adds 0 cals, but they swell up, so the cooked serving is bigger than the dry. Since I...

    Would you be interested in an easier way to search for Cathe workouts?

    I think that would be very cool, especially if they could include the premixes in the search results. I often forget about some gems of premixes. And a step further would be to narrow it by the workouts I have, so I it doesn't give me a suggestion of what I don't have. Although, I have all...

    St. Jude's Marathon

    Hi Everyone!!! SNM - if you want to delete this post, that's fine!!! I will be running my 3rd marathon this year in December to support a fellow Cathlete through her first half marathon. I am also raising money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. If you can donate anything, it would be...

    Cortisone Shots

    I've had two in my knee and one in my foot. None of them hurt, other than just pressure. They poured some liquid numbing stuff over it while they did it. Ended up with a small bruise and a bump/knot, not a big deal. None of them did anything for me to fix the issues, though. So for me it was...

    What the heck happened??

    What were you doing yesterday? Sleep? Eats? Activities? It's probably more about that than anything today. We all have off days. It'll come back! Nan

    Has anyone see Oz-

    Just back from it. I want my $14 back. Bad acting, too much CG (killed the magic of the Wizard of Oz movie), and waaaay off the story of the book. :( The wizard's kinda cute, though. :p;) Nan

    Cycle Max or Ride?????

    I like Ride better. I can't exactly pinpoint why, but I do. I'm not a big fan of the jumps in CycleMax, so maybe that's it. But they are both good. Nan

    Need weight suggestions

    I also accumulated mine over time, so to buy adjustable now would be to go backwards for me. Like someone else said, you shouldn't be spending more than $1/lb. I know all the fuss about Walmart, but they generally have good DB prices, and carry up to 35lb sizes in dumbbells. I may have gotten...

    Spinning Bikes

    I have the Proform 290SPX that I got last year (I think) at MC Sports. It was $300ish on sale I think, with the extended warranty. No problems so far. I was using it probably once a week, but down to once a month or so, as other training programs are now in the forefront for me. Nan
