That had been my fervent hope - that it would be redesigned and reissued! I'm hoping to start STS soon - within a couple of months - so I'll keep a weather eye out!

Hi, ComittedToFitness - Stalling, sometimes, is my Absolute Best Friend! LOL :) nivipa

If time allows, I like to do them a few hours apart. I've read before that it kicks your metabolism harder when your body goes from rest to active to rest to active to rest, but you have to allow time for that post-workout burn to work through. If time doesn't allow, however, I usually skip...

I've seen this question posted elsewhere, but I haven't found an answer yet. Will the Turbo Tower be coming back? Pretty please??

Cathe had such a phenomenal reputation that I jumped in with both feet. Back when DVDs were still the New Kids, Cathe had a deal where I think if you bought five VHS, you got the 6th at a discount, or free shipping, or something like that. I bought all of her earliest stuff that was still...

Kitterfly/Angela -- The first step, when you are ready to take it, is to try and do the things you need to do - wash the dishes, take a shower, run errands - without crying the whole time. It's not a great step - it's just the first one. You'll get there. Someday, much further down the line...

. . . "Please tell Cathe 'Mercy!"

My challenging video I would say is MIC - I am to the point now where I can get through *until* the endurance challenge at the end (I *think* that's what Cathe calls it). I can do the preceeding stuff without a break, I can finally get through the "intervals" without having to pause the DVD...

I agree completely - age is only a number - it depends on what you do with your body more than just about anything else. I just turned 37, and I am without a doubt in the best shape of my life! And for heaven's sake, look at Jack LaLanne! Swimming from Alcatraz to SF Bay manacled, and towing...

You are right, Kitterfly - sometimes, there just are no words. Having been going through my own grieving for the past two years, I will recommend that you just try to find something to focus on. For me, that was when I cleaned up my diet. That way, rather than looking at the world and seeing...

I, too, ue a spiral notebook. I write the title and equipment needed (i.e. tall bench for when I have my step on eight risers, ball, band, etc.), then below that the name of each of the exercises. I make this when I preview the tape, and I write down either the weight that Cathe uses, or what...

LOL, Kathryn - I am not sure if I'm ready to sign up for my next *quite* yet, but I (and, hopefully, some of the other members of my family) am going to make this an annual tradition - it's a great way to start a day centered around food! My cousin was telling me I could "totally do" a...

Hi, Cyndi! I'm obviously not Cathe, but I wanted to suggest you take a look at Tosca Reno's "Eat Clean Diet." I feel the happiest I have ever felt about my eating habits on it, and she has been a fitness competitor herself. She even has what she calls a "cooler plan" for folks who need to get...

Happy Thanksgiving, Cathletes! I wanted to let everyone know how my first race went. I started off with a breakfast of scrambled eggs, a small homemade cranberry muffin, and a little milk. I also planned on bringing a banana with me, but I left it on the kitchen table - grr! We arrived (my...

Wow - I have to thank you all for the phenomenal advice - it's more than I ever expected, especially from you, Kathryn! I had expected maybe five sentences, but all of these ideas, including larger shoes and not wearing the cotton shirts (I'd *never* have thought of that on my own!) help me...

Well, thanks to Cathe's challenge, I have signed up for my very first 5K! I am not a regular runner (I do DVDs almost exclusively), so I don't know too much of what to expect. For something as short as a 5K, should I "carbo load"? What kind of a breakfast should I eat, and when? Do you walk...

I just read this shocking article about the removal of bee pollen from honey. One of the things not mentioned (at least from my first read/skim) is the nutritional value of bee pollen! Tosca Reno first turned me on to it, and as she wrote with her husband in the Eat Clean Diet for Men, it has...

Hear, hear! I thinks it's terrible how rarely people in general seem to think of those who have been or are enlisted and what they've gone through. I have to admit I don't think of them as often as I should, either. Thank you, one and all!

That RT was an absolute blast, I totally agree! I feel like I was so lucky that was my first, because it was (so I was told) much smaller than most. Now whenever I think WDW, I think Cathe! And I thought your DH was a very nice, charming guy. I remember him telling me about your frustration...

Hi, Cyn! I was so excited to see your post saying you've pulled out the classics, too. As I was doing MSB, I was eyeing the Wedding one, I may have to join you in it! I was at the Disney Road Trip, and sat near you and your awesome husband on the bus to and from the dessert/fireworks party :)...
