Pamela has a very good memory! I believe we also had someone come from Canada (sorry, Nora, I can't remember where ). On the spring trip two women flew in from Arizona. We come from near and far to see Cathe! Kristin

Great ideas! You all have great ideas! I don't have anything much to add, except that I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Kristin

Yes, thank you all! I had the best time! You all do such a wonderful job making us feel welcome. We are all so honored that you so graciously take time out of your busy schedules during the road trips. I ate a big bowl of ice cream guilt-free when I got home, and tomorrow is a wonderful rest...

Hope your hip feels better! Your pregnancy updates are so much fun! I can just picture you walking around your classes "cracking the whip" so to speak . I had sciatic/hip pain down my right hip when I was pregnant, too. It definitely got a lot better soon after I delivered. I'm really...

Are there any classes in your area, Michelle? The absolute best thing I did for myself during my second pregancy was to take a pregnancy yoga class. Granted, it wasn't very challenging, but it was wonderful for posture and flexibility. It also sure helped with those aches and pains! The one...

It's so hard, Andrea I can imagine what you're going through right now. There are so many emotions to sort through after a miscarriage. Some people don't seem to understand that even though you didn't "look" pregnant and you hadn't felt the baby move yet, that it was still a baby to you...

MBS and Strength, Balance and Flexibility Hi Sharon, I know you asked Daphne, and I'm obviously not her, but I can answer your question. MBS is Maximum Body Sculpting by The Firm. It's a 45 minute total body workout--mostly weights, but with a few minutes of plyometrics and kickboxing moves...

Susan, you hit the nail on the head! Sometimes I feel torn--I'm not completely a SAHM, but I'm not exactly a working mom, either. I get the best (and the worst!) of both worlds. Two evenings a week and one weekend per month I'm a working mom (hubby's at home with the kids). I have to do a...

You're doing great, Susan! Just think about how much progress you've made in such a short time! I remember your posts from not very long ago (around January or so) when you were a rank beginner! What you have done so far is so admirable. And you are listening to your body and progressing at...

Thanks for the update, Cathe Glad to hear that the sinus thing seems to be getting better--that's the worst! Feeling the baby move has got to be the best part of pregancy, hands down. Don't you just love it! And when the little one gets even bigger, it's even better--I used to love pulling...

Thanks for the info, Laura! I'm excited! My coordinator may be open to starting an exercise class, so I'd be very interested in attending! If I can think of any specific location, I'll let you know. Thanks! Kristin

Healthy Moms Instructor Training Sheila, Would you be able to post the dates of the Healthy Moms Instructor Training as soon as you know what they will be? I'm a RN and a childbirth educator, and I'd love to be able to integrate that background with fitness! I live in the Atlanta area, so I...

Firm rotation I tried the Firm rotation for 4 weeks. I did weeks 9-12. While I wouldn't consider myself a "buffie," I can certainly give you some feedback! While I enjoy doing The Firm, doing it for even 4 weeks in a row was too much for me (in terms of not enough variety). In contrast...

Congratulations, Caroline I always love to hear about babies being born! It's always such a miracle. Catherine Elizabeth is a beautiful name, and I love the nickname Catie. I have always loved the hard "C" sound for girls' names; as a matter of fact, my 2-1/2 year old daughter's name is...

Yay, Cathe! How wonderful--a baby boy! I just LOVE the ultrasound pictures you posted! Sounds like the little one was really showing off for the camera. I love the different views--*everything* (hehe) is so clear! I really like the last picture, when he is looking straight at you. I'm sure...

It's the best thing in life This thread is giving me chills (the GOOD kind! ). Pregnancy was the time when I first started loving and appreciating my body for what it could do. Reading your posts is making me think again about approaching hubby with the idea of #3... (don't think it's in the...

I think a lot of it has to do with the individual. I breastfed both of my children for over two years. I didn't resume exercising after my son was born until he was almost a year old (bad, bad, I know ), but I resumed exercising 5 times per week when my daughter (my second) was about a month...

External versions and C-sections My son was breech as well (my first pregnancy). My doc attempted an ECV (external cephalic version) at 37 weeks as well. Yes, it was painful (but short), and no, it didn't work. My son was already engaged in the pelvis and just didn't want to move...

So nice to have email notification! Hi Nancy! I feel like I'm in school again--I printed out the "help" page, and I'm going to study it tonight! These smileys and frowns are fun, too. I'm sure that's one of your favorite parts! The AAAI conference sounds great! Did you actually get to see...

Step tapes Hi Maureen! This is the first time I've posted on the forum since the new format has been up, so please excuse any posting errors! I would suggest that a good tape to expose yourself to Cathe's choreography would be Get In Shape for Your Wedding. The choreography definitely isn't...
