Hey, Michele -- I wanted to let you know that you did something great for me yesterday! I was reading your thread about needing a kick from the gang so you'd go do your cardio. Well, I have been in a terrible fitness slump. Let's be honest: I haven't exercised regularly in over a year...

Hello, all! I remember a fairly recent thread on internet shoe shopping sites, but I can't find it. So, can anyone remind me of sites they've used and liked? I've shopped with Zappos and had good experiences, but this time they don't seem to have what I'm looking for (dressy silver sandals...

I wanted to say thanks again to everyone for their kind responses to my post about my sick cat, Ivy. This morning, she clearly was not better, and even weaker than yesterday, so I called and arranged to have the vet come give her the shot at noon...but just a while later, sweet Ivy managed to...

Hi, all. I know we've visited this subject before, but it has new meaning to me today... My 17-year-old cat has a long history of health problems, but she's a tough girl and has bounced back from some serious challenges (she's a great example of the Nine Lives idea!). But in the last 24 hours...

Hi, all! Can anyone tell me if Cathe has a strength workout using a body bar (rather than a barbell)? Thanks! Allison

Hello, everyone! I don't post a lot, but some of you may know that I graduated from nursing school in May. I wanted to post to say that I'm taking my nursing boards tomorrow -- and I'll take any and all good thoughts anyone wants to send my way!! I think I'm ready...but it's the kind of...

Hello all! I'm wondering if anyone has any advice to help with my search for a bathing suit for my almost 16-year-old daughter. She's about 5' 6", wears a size 2-4, and has a very small chest -- not quite an A cup. So our trouble spot is her bust, and we're looking for "enhancing" details --...

Hi, all! Well, despite the overblown title, I'm planning to do this 6-day program (book by Michael Thurmond) next week. It's a 5-6 small meals/day eating plan, and based on your metabolic rate (determined by a set of questions), you follow specific eating principles. I turn out to be in the...

Hello! I posted a week or so ago about having an interview for a summer nurse intern position, and I'm posting again to say I got an offer for the job this morning! I'll be working on a cardiovascular recovery floor (caring for patients after heart surgery and other procedures). It will be an...

Hello, all! I'm very excited -- I have an interview next week for a summer internship. I'm in nursing school, and the position is "nurse intern" on a cardiac floor at my local hospital. It's been a l-o-n-g time since I've done any kind of job interview -- I worked in the same job for 15 years...

....for me to post here that I have a VHS copy of CTX Upper Body that I would be glad to give away to the first person who emails me? I know these questions come up from time to time. If anyone is interested, drop me an email at [email protected]. Allison

Hello, supportive gang! I've written before about how, after I started school full-time last year, I basically quit working out, cold turkey. My physical and mental health definitely suffered for it! Sometimes I've let myself feel discouraged about becoming so deconditioned and gaining some...

Classes have started for me again, year 2 (of 3) in a BSN program, and I'm ready for a little reassurance! It was actually a great week, and I'm very excited about this year. But, do you remember your school days, and the TONS of information you got at the start of each semester? I have...

Hi, all! I bought an elliptical trainer this summer, and am now getting around to using it on a regular basis (daily) -- trying to work back up to Cathe cardio! I like it a lot, and I can go for about 20 solid minutes at an RPE of 5-7. My question is, should I trust, or even care about, the...

Janice, I'm trying to remember if you said you start nursing school this month? I've been thinking about you! I hope you're feeling ready -- or that things are going well, if you're already underway! Let us know how you're doing. My classes begin again at the end of August, so I'm trying to...

Hello all, My doctor has advised that I start taking an Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplement. I looked for them at the grocery and was immediately confused by the many choices! I'll probably go to a nutrition store next, but I wonder if anyone takes these and has advice on brands/types? I'd...
