    Customer service doesn't seem to be in fashion anymore

    RE: Customer service doesn't seem to be in fashion anym... So, is there a Marshall's or TJ Maxx near you? No shipping, deep discounts and sometimes they have very high quality - like Prana yoga wear, Nike and Reebok (always there). And it's just fun to run my fingers thru their racks and look.

    Don't pump gas on May 15th!

    Here's a horror story. My giant SUV saved my life. I was a few miles from my kid's school to pick them up, I was on the access road parallel to the interstate. A drunk driver swerved off the interstate, came onto the service road and hit me. He was airborn when he hit. I was driving a Toyota...

    Schadenfreude

    I understand. I felt freakily cheered when a woman I can't stand, who's a disgusting bigot, sat at my table at lunch and ate a huge plate of fries covered in mayo.

    Announcing the Road Trip

    It's pretty fun. You should go. I laughingly tell my husband it's "meet my idol" weekend. I had to fly last time, but we are moving cross-country to Jersey in June so I can drive this time!

    Speaking of fashion....gauchos at the gym?

    Well, I wear them for yoga. They are more fitted in the legs than the ones in your link but they have the same roll-down waist. They stay put well enough, I guess because they are not as loose. I actually like them, they are just something different. I get so tired of the standard yoga look -...

    Your best advice in 20 minutes

    I read this in a book, author was the woman who writes on fitness for NY Times (can't remember her name) but it's stuck with me for years. A big secret is that exercise actually feels good WHILE you're doing it if you do it right. If you find the right activity for you and don't overdo, it's...

    My drunk secretary at work

    There was an article in the paper last week that the newest thing is for drunk party guests that have accidents to sue the party hosts. It sounds to me like you have some major liability issues here. Go to HR now.

    The Wagon . . .

    I'm there! Got my calendar up and stickers ready and logged into my dormant Weight Watchers account and tracker today. Not waiting for tommorrow either. Thank goodness the holidays are over. I feel a tad guilty saying that, but as the commercialism increases each year I just can't find the...

    Movies that make you laugh so hard you cry

    Rushmore. OMG, I've got to put that on my NetFlix list and see it again.

    Wal Mart sucks!

    Well, I have to respectfully disagree about them sucking. I think you encountered a bad employee, which happens everywhere. I have returned many items and they've always, always taken them back with no problem. I've never experienced any rudeness. BTW, my stepdaughter works for Walmart in...

    Do you do "add-ins" with your routine?

    RE: Do you do Hi Laura - you look fantastic...still. You probably don't remember me, I met you at the last road trip in the elevator. Anyway, question, how much total cardio do you do? I do a lot of cardio too, and sometimes get flack about it but I am addicted to it. I do weights 4 days a...

    Moms...flu shot for your kids???

    BTW, I got the flu myself years ago and then got pneumonia. Talk about screw up your workout! The lungs take a long time to heal. I was out of commission for weeks. I get a shot every single year, no matter what.

    Moms...flu shot for your kids???

    There are a certain number of kids that die every year from complications related to the flu, mostly pneumonia. Most of them are have pre-existing health problems but some do not. I have seen kids in the hospital where I work....well, I'm not going to go on. Enough said. My kids get Flu Mist...

    Gym Style Push Ups - what's your strategy?

    Another vote for all on the knees. On my toes hurts my wrists and shoulder joints. And I am happy with my musculature in my chest, so see no need to start dreading this part of the workout. But I salute those of you that can do big girl pushups!

    Weight Watchers..help, I searched but can't find

    I've been doing WW off and on for a lot of years. I'm a lifetime member. I periodically go above my weight and then I have to get serious again and lose it. I'll always been able to lose it and I really think Cathe is the secret ingredient. I think it's pretty near impossible to keep your...

    More frequent lower body workouts?

    Hi fellow Cathe-ites I am thinking about tweaking my workouts and doing lower body 3 times a week and upper just once. I thinking of doing an upper body split like Chest-Should-Tri and Back-Bi on 2 different days, then do legs 3 other days, spacing them so that I never do them on consecutive...

    rotation for new workouts

    I second that. I have never done one of Cathe's rotations "as is" - always tweaked them -- but I am ready to do something different and would LOVE to focus on the new content. I am so ready for new Cathe...

    Not Our Daughter's Jeans - Eeeech!

    I had the same reaction. Looks like a girdle, smells like a girdle...get it away from me.

    Problems with neighbor/friend - need your opinion (sorry very long)

    In some communities, it's a legal requirement to report dog bites. You should check into that.
