    Can I do all Xpress series in one day

    Yea - I understand But 10 years IS a long time. You need to remember that! I do the same thing with 40, only in my case, I've got 5 years. But even FIVE years - thats a LONG time!

    Cathe - will I ever be able to keep up with the intensity (m)

    Cathe - As you may remember from my previous postings, i've been complaining about my loss of fitness, gaining of fat for almost 2 years now . My daughter is 20 mos, and while i'm actually down a 10 of the 25 lbs I wanted to lose (although I don't really base weight loss on numbers...), my...

    Why are you using a lower step height, Cathe?

    After previewing your tapes, I'd say (m) That you have a vastly different definition of the word "Easing" than most people . But then, you look FAR better than most people do- even without the added stress of having had a baby. Leela

    Can I do all Xpress series in one day

    Hey! 30 isn't old? If you're old - what does that make me? Actually I didn't have trouble with 30 - I love being in my 30s! I think i'm much more solid and centered as a human being than I ever was in my 20s... Leela

    Can I do all Xpress series in one day

    I'll be 35 in December... And i'm reading "Outsmarting the Female Mid-life Fat Cell". I had a baby 20 mos ago, and I've noticed a huge change in *where* I store fat, as well. I'm trying to have yet another child (my last), and I wonder if I was having trouble getting my fit-self back at 33...

    Miscarriage

    Good advice about the wait I had really wanted to have a baby sooner than later. I've been trying for 9 mos, and had 3 failures along the way (2 very early on - a week past implantation). I'm 34, and I don't want to wait too long. This whole idea of mine of having my k ids close in age, of...

    Miscarriage

    Jackie ... :-( Hugs to you. Its NOT a small thing. I put up my "insensitive comment" shield as best I can - but it is hard, isn't it? Cry all you want to, and all you need too and when you get the OK, focus your energy and anger into your workouts! I'm told that is helpful! Today I go get my...

    Miscarriage

    Anger... I blew up at the folks at the Drs office for repeatedly putting me on hold for 5-10 minutes at a time. I have a lot of unresolved anger regardnig my first birth (I called with what I thought were labor pains and they managed to convince me that I wasn't in labor. Anju was born 2 hrs...

    friends who have miscarrried

    I have some new insight here... Please do offer condolences, and try not to offer words such as "You will have another", etc.. some women NEVER have another successful pregnancy (hopefully I am not one of those women.. but I am lucky to have my one!). Just say "I'm really very sorry." and be...

    Worried about kickboxing!

    Its new to you and you will get it. I had the same experience with KS's tape the first few times I did it. I now can do it without problems. I recommend GI Jabb - Katalin's instruction and her tapes are superb. Of course - no one compares to Cathe and I can't wait to get her new tapes! Leela

    Miscarriage

    I thank you... Kristin - I try to be philosophical from the POV that there was probably something wrong, and my body detected it and took care of it. I know my last two failures - called "chemical pregnancies" since they lasted a very short time - were probably due to bad eggs. We all have...

    Miscarriage

    I had one (at 8 weeks) monday. Or it started monday... My thoughts go out to you. I hope for the best for you. I'm going to my docs tomorrow so maybe I can answer your questions about how long to wait - but don't hesitate to call him - that is what he is there for. Leela

    What is happening to me?

    Poor thing. With Anjali, Week 13 was the worst. It was gone by 14.5 weeks! Really horrible.

    OK, Cathe, spill it!

    Thanks Cathe! I think getting sick with pregnancy is extremely trying - but I was lucky in two respects. I got pregnant on the first try, and then I had a 3 hour labor that didn't hurt that much. This time around, it took a lot longer to get pregnant, I had a few early losses, but the...

    Cathe? Didyou do kickboxing workouts while pregnant?

    Thank you very much, Cathe Hi - Yes - Anjali's birth was wierd. Not what I expected. But easy compared to most women - so i'm not complaining. This time, instead of worrying about where to kennel the dog, in case labor lasts days, i'm more concerned about getting to the hospital in time I...

    Give me your stories!

    I haven't felt it yet this time, but last time I nearly hospitalized myself I was so sick, I lost 15 pounds just by not eating and throwing up. Around week 14, I was throwing up 12 times a day (due to getting the flu). I also had hyperptyalism (drooling) and serious post nasal drip which made...

    Cathe? Didyou do kickboxing workouts while pregnant?

    Cathe - I'm pregnant with #2, and in addition to doing your awesome step and strength tapes, I also like to do GI Jabb Kickboxing tapes (but i'm sure i'll love your kb tape the best ). I know that pregnancy causes "elastin" (??) to be produced, which aids in loosening the joints so that...

    OK, Cathe, spill it!

    Breastfeeding and losing weight Hi Cathe - Thanks for sharing that very personal tid-bit I found that BF kept weight on my body. I never experienced the wonderful "weightloss" effect. I had troubles anyway due to my separation from my daughter (she was sick for 3 weeks), and my cluelessness...
