    Cheat Day Misery!

    Re: Yes I do get *very* snappy when that happens because I feel terribly guilty and mad at myself for "undoing" all the good I've done during the week.

    Cheat Day Misery!

    I just wanted to post and see if anyone else gets super sick from a cheat day? I've noticed for a long time that when I "indulge" my body shifts into overdrive and just can't take it. My husband and I have completely different schedules - I literally never see him because he works at night...

    Question for Cathe about German Lamb Cake ;)

    Hello! This is for Cathe and/or any other Germans in the crowd ;) Every easter my German grandmother would make lamb cakes for us kids. Since her passing many years ago, my aunt took over the tradition. Unfortunately, she has been in the ICU for the past few weeks fighting a terrible...

    Howto use Muscle Endurance...

    Since I began working out with Cathe over a year ago, I've been lifting heavy with her and have done rotations of GS, Pyramids, 4DS and a few others.. I've decided to switch up the weight work and give a rotation of Muscle Endurance a try. I really like this workout as it is a lot different...

    P90X Questions

    I LOVED P90X...my husband actually got it for himself because at the time I was in the middle of a Cathe rotation. (He never actually started!!) I did not follow the eating plan because I was fine on my own and with a family to feed, it was just unrealistic, I'm sure you've looked over the...

    Cardio Coach vs. IFit - Kicking Myself

    Thanks girls!!! I've done CC#3 three times so far in the last few days and I can't get enough. I went for a nice, relaxing run last night and had planned on just running to my playlist but then Coach Sean came on towards the end and I had to do a series of sprints - I just HAD to!! He's a...

    Cardio Coach vs. IFit - Kicking Myself

    I DID IT!!!! I bought Volume #3 and LOOOOVVVEEEEDDD ITTT!!!!!! I did it on the treadmill so I could get a feel for it and the changes and youre right...the transitions are super smooth and easy. For the hill part, I just sprinted as fast as I could and it worked fairly well! My husband was...

    Cardio Coach vs. IFit - Kicking Myself

    Hmm...I think I might just go for #5 then and try it tonight while my daughter's on the soccer field. My playlist is so boring at this point so I'm excited about trying something new. Thanks :)

    Cardio Coach vs. IFit - Kicking Myself

    Great info - Yes I was on the website for like 2 hours the other day trying to decide which to get but I figured I'd consult the experts here first! I am still so mad at myself for spending $8 on that stupid IFit workout.... what a waste! I do have a bike and have been eyeing it up...

    Cardio Coach vs. IFit - Kicking Myself

    Hello There! I've been on the fence about purchasing one of these workouts so I went ahead and bought one of the IFit treadmill workouts...level 3 I think.... Well, what a waste of money. I listened to approx. 3 minutes of it and there is no way I could possibly get into it. The music is...

    Roation for Leaning Arms

    My diet is pretty "clean" as it is. I put on muscle pretty easily (I'm not sure these days whether that's a good thing or bad thing!) so they've just gotten to the point where I'd like a "softer" appearance - not soft like squishy, but soft like my boss will stop making comments about me...

    Roation for Leaning Arms

    Hello everyone and I'm happy to be back! I had a wicked time making the switch to the new format so I've just been lurking but I desperately need some advice! Over the past 6 months or so, using a combo of GS, S&H, 4DS, P90X and a few others (I'm drawing a blank here....) I've achieved some...

    Skeptical about what Abs Diet is telling me...

    Laura - you're gooorrggeeouuss just the way you are:-) Yeah, in total I've only lost about 5 lbs with the Abs Diet in the past few weeks but it gave me some new ideas so that's always a plus. As far as the drop in calories, last night I was ssttarrrvvinnng, especially after the P90X Chest...

    Skeptical about what Abs Diet is telling me...

    Hey Jess! Thanks so much - it has been a blast. What to do when I'm all done??!! Yeah, I think I'm going to do my best but I may add in a few calories here and there. I don't feel comfortable going that low either.

    Skeptical about what Abs Diet is telling me...

    Yes, I realize that as I lose weight my caloric needs will go down but after all I've learned about good calories and keeping fueled, this just surprised me. I have always calculated my needs using the Harris-Benedict formula (which has always worked well - thanks Fitness Freak!). So, we'll...

    Skeptical about what Abs Diet is telling me...

    HELLO ALL! I've been laying low lately due to my (almost!) completion of P90X but I needed to pose a question... I've also been following the Abs Diet (online version) for about 4-5 weeks now and I really enjoy it..the variation of food choices is what got me to actually try it. Anyway, out of...
