    Reunited...and it feels so good

    It is totally like Christmas the first day. Then it's like 3 weeks of cleaning up after Christmas :) If you can't image being without your Cathe DVDs, just think that I preordered STS. So I have had it this whole time and not been able to do it yet! I am dying to do a rotation but I've...

    Why is this? I am Frustrated!

    That's exactly what I do. I think of working out like brushing my teeth. I don't look forward to brushing my teeth but I'm not about to skip it either :)

    Reunited...and it feels so good

    We moved to Mexico City a year ago and put all belongings in storage in New Jersey. We just moved into an unfurnished house and commissioned our shipment from the US. Our stuff arrived on Tuesday. My husband came to me with a big box marked "DVDs" and said "I don't think these are mine"...

    I need a super-good veggie soup recipe!

    I love vegetable soup and I always just throw in whatever veggies are around, sometimes beans, but ALWAYS thyme. I think it is key to good vegetable soup and makes anything you put in there work.

    I know kids say things in anger, but....

    I'm only 29 now and clearly remember being your daughter. I once called my mom a f*cking psycho. I did not mean it although she was kind of nutty. Your daughter doesn't mean it. At all. It's a phase. She loves you. Do what you can to emotionally protect yourself until she grows up. And be...

    Ugh! why do in-laws have to be so difficult?

    How long have you two been together? Since they don't like the idea that you married into the family, they will just nitpick on everything you do. But it's totally possible that over time they will learn to love you and that will extend to them respecting your decisions. My grandmother was...

    So will you get the shot?

    Very good explanation. A friend's husband was in the vaccine trial (he's a doctor) and says that the vaccine has the same risks as the seasonal vaccine because it's only slightly different. The part where I am confused is the Canadian study that someone else mentioned where the seasonal...

    High Levels of Creatine Kinase?

    That's funny because running to the car was exactly the example I was thinking of when I wrote that. I'll bet that was it!

    Anyone BELLYDANCE?

    I got "Luscious - the Bellydance Workout for Beginners". It sounds really stupid, but I'm telling you, it is just fantastic. She shows you each move, then breaks it down, then you practice, then you watch them really doing it (and try to do it in real-time). It's about 2 hours with...

    High Levels of Creatine Kinase?

    Did the doctor seemed concerned about the level? CK can indicate muscle damage and sometimes serious muscle disorders. Another possibility - CK releases (and recreates) energy needed for really short bursts of intense activity. So, you may have done some routine chore or activity that you...

    Do any of you use kettlebells?

    I can't tell you which are good, but I have a Go-fit kettlebell that I wouldn't recommend. The handle is really uneven (the metal is lumpy)and it rips my hands up. I didn't have a choice (it was basically the only kettlebell I could find in my country), but I would definitely look for a smooth...

    Remedies/products for super dry hair?

    No-poo! I have super dry hair and the solution I've found is to stop using shampoo, which is very drying. My hair still gets clean but isn't completely stripped. There are lots of ways to do this. I use conditioner without silicone (which is not water soluble and will build-up without...

    Looking for Advanced Yoga DVDs

    Hey! I thought when I started a thread I would be automatically subscribed to it? I guess not! Thank you all so much for the recommendations. They all sound great. I am basically looking for some variety (the ashtanga ones are all seriously the same series of poses) and as long as there are a...

    Latisse--not a good thing

    I read a pretty long article about in Allure not long ago. That said that all of those side effects can happen, but were very rare even for people putting it directly in their eyes (for glaucoma) so they were saying it would be even more rare - a fraction of 1 percent - for Latisse users...

    My Biannual Clothing Crisis Shout-Out

    Maybe Ann Taylor/Loft? I know they can carry 0 and 00, but maybe best to call your local store to make sure. They have nice work wear and my favorite thing about them is their sizing is consistent (if 0 fits you in one top, it will fit you in style tops and other seasons' tops). That's the...

    Looking for Advanced Yoga DVDs

    I have a few from David Swenson, which I really like, but they are all very similar. Are there other yoga instructors who are around that same level? I would love to have a few to rotate through. I enjoy his because I always feel challenged and there are some poses I can't do at all (sounds...

    Cathe demographic poll #1

    I started working out to Cathe when I was 23 (I'm 29 now) because I moved so often that I couldn't go to a gym. As more of my friends have started families and developed busier home lives, many have transitioned from going to the gym to working out at home. So, that might be a factor, too.
