Arch supports Jane, Have you tried some over-the-counter full insoles with arch supports? They don't slip around in the shoe, and they might give you the foot support that you need. They definitely helped me (although I wear custom orthotics now). Kristin

I need just a little something I work out in the morning, too, but not as early as Nancy does! I usually wake up at about 5:15, and like to be working out by 5:45. I know what you mean about not wanting to wake up early just to eat--sleep is too precious! I've found out that what works for...

Me too, Mandy I just love doing stretch and/or yoga tapes on my days off. I really feel like it's a gift to my body when I do. I also used to feel guilty taking more than one day off per week, and I felt like superwoman when I worked out 7 days per week, but I know now that my body needed a...

Take your time coming back, and enjoy Eric! It's so great to see a post from you again! We really appreciate you, Jon and Chris for keeping us up to date on how you all are doing. Eric is just precious! Enjoy motherhood--you're so well suited for the job! Kristin

Beautiful story, beautiful boy Jon, thanks so much for posting yours, Cathe's and Eric's story. Count yet another swimmy-eyed, lump-in-the-throat person reading it! Yes, the holding breath while pushing is called "purple pushing." It's definitely called that for a reason! I'm so glad to...

What I've found works for me Danielle, Daphne as usual has some wonderful words of wisdom. I know that with me, my focus sometimes goes back and forth between increasing my strength and increasing my cardio capacity. Changing my focus also keeps it interesting for me. I used to be a die-hard...

He's absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful little boy, and those pictures really capture the essence of having a newborn. Congratulations again, and enjoy Eric! He's a cutie! Kristin

Congratulations, Mandy! What great news! Babies are such blessings! Kristin

Yes, we do worry! So glad to hear that everything's fine, and I know that Cathe must be so busy! I remember that when I had my first, nothing else existed in the world but me, my husband and my son, and no sleep existed for us, either! Please wish Cathe and Jon well for us. Kristin Aziz

Oops, one more thing Cathe and Jon, One thing that my husband I did as soon as possible after my second was born was that we each wrote an account of my labor and birth. We wrote about the physical stuff, the emotional stuff, really anything that we felt like we wanted to include. I know...

What a great picture! I got in on this thread a little late (holiday craziness), but I just wanted to wish you and yours a happy holiday season (and I'm sure it'll be even happier with this morning's news... )! Kristin

Congratulations, Cathe and Jon! What an exciting time! And I'm sure you weren't disappointed that he was a couple of weeks early! I can't wait to see pictures of the happy family! Kristin

You're amazing, Cathe 35 weeks and still teaching classes! That's great! And 28 lbs. so far is great, especially since a lot of it is fluid retention. It won't take you long at all to lose it after Eric is born. What an exciting time! Don't you love being pregnant during the holidays? I...

Heehee! You've definitely given me lots to think about! I hope you're feeling better soon (ya think turkey and dressing will help to cure you?)! Kristin

Thanks, Cathe, for being so encouraging My doctor wants me on crutches for the 3-4 weeks, just to rest the femur. After that he said that I'll probably be able to start to ride the bike and swim. Actually, I think I found an alternative cardio workout today--my husband and I were in the...

Happy Thanksgiving! Mmm, I can smell the turkey cooking now! Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

So cute! Squeek, that is! The rest of us look pretty wiped out in most of the pictures, heehee! Thanks for putting the pictures online, Lynne! It's so nice to be able to look at them and remember the great time we had that weekend. Kristin

I know how you feel! Wendy, I hope you feel better soon! What a bummer to have the flu, especially this time of year. I know how you feel about not being able to work out, and the fat, sloppy feeling you're describing! I have a stress fracture in my hip (misdiagnosed as tendinitis for 2...

Those third trimester woes Cathe, I'm sorry to hear that you're having those aches and pains. They're hard enough for anyone to deal with, not to mention people like you who are so active (that's an understatement! )! It's almost as if it's your body's way of getting a little enforced rest so...

Happy Hour Hi-Lo Kim, I'm not usually a big fan of hi-lo, but this workout is FANTASTIC!!! It's a dancy, complex tape, but it's not too hard to learn if you like complex choreography. Christi is very down-to-earth and likeable, and she cues very well. The workout is an hour long, and the...
