I moved to NJ from the South in June. Good god, it is so cold here I am just in shock everytime I go outside. I think I drink 6 cups of hot tea every day. I have discovered layering and now wear about 3 shirts/hoodies/things and 2 layers on the legs all the time. But I'm still cold, especially...

It's completely the diet for me. I am very happy with my Cathe-shaped muscles after 8 solid years of working out with her (can't believe it's been that long, but I'm been a devotee since CTX!). But it's the fat layer over them that I have to work on. I know it's completely from the food I put in...

Hi gals - Gayle, thank you for posting and letting us know what's up. I can really relate and you know, I always feel like I'm the only one. Glad to know I'm not. I am telling myself today that the important thing is that I ALWAYS pick myself up and start over. Some fun workouts planned...

Hi all -- It's great to read that all of you are on track. I seem to be off after the last 2 days, with food (exercise is always good). What do you do to get back on track? Part of me just feels like I should throw in the towel because I've "ruined" it so soon into the challenge. But that's...

Hi all - not much time to post. Still hanging in there with eating and workouts. Snowing like crazy out there, hope I can get to work tonight. Last night was crazy, I had 6 really sick patients. I wish they would consider acuity when assigning us, hospitals are so different in their work...

Yes, DOMS is one of my favorite things. Especially legs and butt, juste feels like I'm actually doing something back there. Ha. Karin, I like Supersets too. I use it when I am time-crunched and there are some neat exercises in there that she doesn't do in other workouts. I am down a pound this...

HI all -- It's a nice Sunday morning here. I'll be taking a walk later with DH as my exercise today. I did ME and the new KB yesterday and loved it. Gayle and Lorrie- congrats on the weight/inches lost and the good pics. What a motivator! Lori - I love it when I get in a workout that I...

I'm still around. I worked last night and then slept till 6 pm!!! It's good because I usually struggle so hard to sleep during the day. Only reason I could do it was because our skiing was cancelled due to the rain, which is a downer but I need the sleep. So I'd like to workout now but my...

I never use these any more. Moving those plates on & off and on & off just is a drag. Especially when there are so many other more fun and varied Cathe choices to get the job done.

RE: STS Preorder and Cathe Cardio I'm not planning to get them and it kind of bothers me - first preorder I won't be getting since CTX back in 2000 or was it 1999? Anyway, the cons for me are the length - I prefer 45 mins -- and I am not sure I'm willing to buy all the equipment necessary to...

There is a way to save a set of weights exercises with a name. So I have a CST, BB, Legs, and Abs set. This works for most of what I do. Once you have created and saved the set, then it's just one click for it to add all those exercises for that day. That's how I use it. I love SparkPeople! The...

Weird day for me yesterday. I was off so I didn't have to work last night and my body decided to just sleep, sleep, sleep. I couldn't keep my eyes open at 8 pm so went to bed. Up at 5:30 to do Legs & Glutes and LIS. Fun. But I am still dragging. I can't wait to get on Days at work but that is...

Hi all, just a quick check in to stay accountable. I worked last night so I missed this gorgeous day as I was sleeping. Oh well, tomorrow might be good too and I'm off tonight. I am so tired but that's a good thing, hopefully I won't be wide awake at 3 am. I lost 1 pound the first week and...

HI to everyone -- such an upbeat crowd today and I do like reading all the weight loss. Hope to add my name to that tomorrow, I will weigh in tonight after my workout. Lorrie - thanks for posting your numbers. I need to get my act together on that. Part of me doesn't want to bother, just the...

Hi all, pretty good week one. I ate pretty clean every day, I think I ate about 4 things that weren't really clean (white flour) but other than that I stuck to plan. My husband makes homemade rolls -- unfortunately with white flour -- and I just can't resist them every day. I will weigh in...

Hi all. Isn't Cooking Light wonderful? Everything I make from it turns out great. My favorite lately is their Chipotle Meatloaf made with ground turkey. Gayle - isn't it funny what the scale can do? Although your numbers are pretty extreme - I've seen it go out about 10 lbs in a week but...

Hi everyone! Another good day under my belt. And it's late, I'm hungry and I love to go to bed hungry. I ended the day at 1200 calories, which is a little under but I'm not going to eat something this late. And I did KPC for my exercise, this was just a cardio day. Today I'll choose between...

It's great to read that everyone is on track and having such good workouts. I had a rough night at work last night, I got stuck with 7 patients (max, which I rarely get) and there were about 3 problems/issues so I ended up not leaving until 9:30 AM - 2 hours OT. Terrible. But tonight just has to...

Hi gals (I think we're all gals, or did I miss Jerry's post?), boy I have to say this is a good group of positive people who are very focused and up for a challenge. A great spot to be in, and I am thankful to be here. My goals (trying to keep the focus on just diet & fitness, I tend to get too...

I've been around a long time too, and I've seen it before. It seems to go in cycles. Hopefully things will get back to normal again.
