Good morning! The weather here in NC is beautiful. Partly sunny and supposed to be a high near 80 degrees. I'm excited to walk through my yard each day and see all the bulbs up and about to bloom (the daffodils and more established tulips are already in full bloom, as are the trees. And some of...

Good Saturday afternoon! Today I am doing a combination of the shoulders portion of Slow & Heavy Legs & Shoulders, the back portion of P90X Legs & Back, and the bonus rear delts portion of X-train. It's a rainy day but in the 60's, so not too bad and at least the pollen count won't be as high...

Interesting article from Prevention and a recipe, too. Grilling season is almost upon us :cool: Beer Marinades Shown To Reduce Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) - Prevention.com

Way to stay with it Katrina Lynn! You go, girl!!!

Funny thing during my workout today. I keep a log so that I know what weights to use for different routines/exercise. So I'm doing the lateral step up with a 25 lb weight, per my log, then I'm supposed to use a 20 lb weight for the side slide lunge with disc. Not sure when I got off, but during...

This article from Prevention is kind of funny and likely right on the money for me. I generally don't go downstairs to the kitchen searching out healthy foods when I'm having a craving, but if it's sitting right there for me to see, or if I'm cutting up some fruit or other healthy snack for my...

Good morning & happy Friday! I love Fridays for the obvious reason plus it's my day off :D Going to be joining my co-workers later for my birthday lunch. My pick? Thai! I freaking love pad Thai! And I haven't had it since my last birthday lunch. Good thing I have a lower body workout today...

Good evening ladies, Today is my rest day and good thing, because I am just now getting home. Debbie--good job getting your taxes done. That reminds me... bayerngirl--I don't do a recovery week after STS. I just move on to the next dvd in my rotation. For upper body (on Saturday), I'm...

Good evening ladies, Did the last workout in the STS series tonight. Yay! 3 times through STS :D Tomorrow is my rest day. Cookie--I can't drag out my Weds workout the way I can Tues & Fri when I'm off work, so intervals kept brief today. And I feel you with the stress eating. Why can't I...

Stacy---I rotate between splits for upper body. I've found that's the best way to really build upper body strength and exhaust the muscles (in an approx 1 hour workout). I don't do cardio-specific workouts, though most of my strength workouts have some element of cardio because I'm lifting...

Good morning, ladies! Rainy and cold here in Charlotte NC. But no matter--I have Tuesdays off work, and I love my days off regardless of the weather. Plus, the rain helps keep the pollen count down :rolleyes: Kristen--My dog, Stella, is a chihuahua mix. Big dog trapped in a little body. She...

Hi all, Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Cookie--21 miles! Oh, my! Did you run that or hike it? How long did it take you to complete it? Debbie--Hope you feel much better now. Stomach viruses have made the rounds of my friends a few times this year. Fortunately, no one in my family...

Happy Friday! I looooove Fridays! My day off! Plus I get to hang out with some moms from my 6th grader's school at Starbucks in Target. Only moms would hang out at a Starbucks in Target! I'm turning 50 on Tuesday, so went shopping for some shoes (bought 5 pairs!) and bought a necklace and...

Hi Ladies, Did STS Strength Shoulders, Bi's, Tri's Disc 33 after work today (thank goodness I get off work at 3:30 :)). I do upper body on Wednesdays (or Thursdays, depending upon my week). Cookie & Melissa: CrossFit really is a lot of fun, but I could only go twice per week. Plus, the...

Brigette, I saw on your profile that you participated in a body-building contest. So cool! I have thought about doing something like that but don't really know that much about it or how to get started. I'd likely struggle with the diet anyway. Do you still participate in contests?

Hello, this is my first "check-in". Tuesdays are my lower body workout days, so doing STS ME Disc 12 today. Struggling a bit, as I'm still a little sore from my lower body workout last Friday. I took a break from my regular workout routine and tried CrossFit. I liked it, but just couldn't get...

Thanks, Belinda. I have to say, one of the things that I really liked about CrossFit was the camaraderie. I've worked out at home by myself for so long, that I've been missing the fun and encouragement you can get by working out with others. Plus, it's just nice to hang out with other people...

This is my first time on The Cathe Nation forums, but I've been working out to Cathe for a looong time. I first started with her workouts that aired many years ago on Fit TV. I dvr'd them and kept them for a long time, rotating through the workouts. My dvr would give out at least once or twice...
