    work at home

    Do you have a special field that you work in? I've been in the legal field since I was 19 (I started in 1984). In 1996 I quit my job working in a lawfirm to stay home with my 3 and 7 year old girls. After about 8 months, my 3 year old started going to preschool for 4 hours a day and I started...

    Did I really just see this?

    I live in a subdivision in Houston, Texas and have looked out my window many times and have seen people who let their dogs (who they are casually walking down the sidewalk in front of my house) take a "poo" in my yard. They also pee on my trees and other flowers that I have spent money and time...

    Thursday night dinner-poll

    I would love to join you on Thursday, but won't be able to. My husband and I (along with my cousin Keith), are flying in Thursday, but we're going to Atlantic City Thursday night and then my husband and cousin are going to drop me off at the RT on Friday. We normally go to Vegas each year, but...

    Just for fun--what was your first concert?

    My first concert my mom and dad let me go to was when I was 17 and it was AC/DC -- the only reason I could go was because two of my best friends going were guys! Another girl friend of mine went as well. I don't know if this counts, but when I was a freshman in high school, my best friend's...

    Will someone explain cell phone etiquette to me?

    Thank you Laura -- you said everything I was thinking in my mind! It seems the grocery store is one of the worst places regarding cell phones! I hate having someone come up beside me while I'm looking for something and start talking -- I think they're talking to me, so I turn around and...

    ANNOUNCEMENT: News re: RT 2009 Agenda

    I'm with you Jolene!!! I would love that Sunday morning workout. Since I live so far away, I like to get as many workouts with Cathe as possible!

    10 1/2wk Countdown...

    Catherine said it perfect -- she does do a lot of endurance-type workouts during the RT. I've been twice and we usually do a step workout, kickbox workout, bootcamp workout and some type of resistance training workout. Of course that's subject to change! So increase those endurance workouts...

    Anyone use Alli? (Melanie the pharmacist... need your thoughts too!)

    Hi Stephanie -- I'm like you. Last August was my 25th class reunion. In preparation I used Alli. It did help me to lose my last 10 pounds (but I also increased my cardio with Cathe and ate super clean, which I know contributed!). I worked out super hard!! Although I know I lost most of...

    10 1/2wk Countdown...

    My first time at the road trip in 2007 was by myself and I was absolutely scared! I didn't know anyone. This is my third roadtrip and I'm totally comfortable because I know so many more people, but, if this is your first time you will feel so comfortable because everyone is so friendly. On my...

    american idol

    I like Chris, but I really had hoped that Danny would be in the finals (he was my favorite). I love Adam (which I really feel will win), but I just loved Danny's approach through the whole time -- very strong, but very humble! I am surprised about Chris being in the final two. He's really...

    bootcamp workouts

    I have most all of Amy and Kelly's workouts -- I really love them! I still find myself picking Cathe over them most of the time. But I do these workouts when I want a change from Cathe -- but that's not very often! But Amy and Kelly have excellent workouts -- so if you are wanting a change...

    2 very good Kickbox DVD's..non-Cathe style

    Thanks Jerry -- I always loves Kickbox DVDs. I actually have a few Power Strike DVDs with Patricia -- she's really good (she did them with Ilaria). Anyhow -- I will have to check them out! I appreciate the info because I hadn't heard about these! Julie

    Age ain't got nuthin to do with it!!!

    Age does play a role in weight loss -- your metabolism gets slower the more you age and that is why a lot of people pack on the pounds. The problem is, is that they keep eating like they did when they were young and you can't do that! When I was in my teens/20s, I ate everything under the sun...

    Are you expecting?

    That is so terrible and I feel bad for her!! As bad as it is, however, it might turn out to be a good thing. The reason I say, is because about 5 years ago I saw a cousin of mine who I hadn't seen in a couple of years. Anyhow, he's a little older than me and when he saw me he said "wow...

    Workouts when you're short on time.

    I wanted to add one more thing (after I posted my last message, I see where you were asking about weight workouts as well). When I'm short on time with weight work and don't have time to do lengthy workout, I do Cathe's workouts by splitting them up, maybe upper body one day and lower the next...

    Workouts when you're short on time.

    When I'm short on time I like to do the premixes that are around 30 to 40 minutes long. Not sure what all DVDs you have, but if you have Cross Train Series, all of the cardio portions are about 30 minutes long. Same with the 4 Day Split Series. Also Step, Jump and Pump has a premix where you...

    Cathe live class report..no more rust!!

    Glad you are de-rusted (is that a word?!) Who cares -- I'm glad you're back to yourself after surgery. It always stinks being out of commission and not being able to workout -- no matter what the reason! As always I wish I could have been there, but I can say I have worked out with Cathe...
