I'm a personal trainer and have browsed Cathe's site for a few years for personal and professional use. As a trainer, I know the basics work. But, there's always so much to learn, so I crave more reputable fitness/training resources. What are your favorite training resoures (besides...

Hi all ~ This is my first post on the new forum, so I'm excited to try it! Off the fitness topic though: My three-year-old Maine Coon mix who's never had health issues has developed gum issues. I noticed her smelly breath a couple months ago and thought it'd clear up (or thought I was just...

Hi all ~ From one Cathe fan to a million others, I'm interested in gaining feedback from you. I'm working on producing a piece of work highlighting the emotional eating recovery process. I thought this forum would be a good place to gain feedback since *some* have expressed their struggles...

Hi all ~ This morning while doing a side plank (modified on my elbow) during a Pilates class, my shoulder "seemingly" came out of socket and went back into place. I was pretty shocked but relieved it seemed to have gone back in place. (I was teaching the class, so I eased off that side for...

Cathe, Hello ~ I'm an instructor and trainer in Atlanta and have been teaching since '99. During college I was trained to teach by a very solid team of women who produced videos, too. So, I've seen a variety of styles and delivery....And, I'm not just tooting your horn, but you are still...

Hi all! If you regularly use protein powder for shakes, would you list your favorite(s) and where you get them? I've tried several, and for example, I like Lean Body for Her (chocolate), but I'd like a few more tasty suggestions. I'm not really into shakes in the colder months, but in the...

Happy Holidays, everyone! I've curious for your thoughts -- good, old-fashioned girl talk. Not fitness-related, but I've seen some of you give great advice before, so feel free to share your stories or perspective! A little background: I'm 26, and I've just started seeing this guy...

Hi all. I need some objective opinions. How easy it is to give advice when it's not to yourself! I have a very close friend named "Sally". We've grown really close in the past year, and I love her dearly. We're mid-20s. We click on so many social issues and both have a lot of passion...

Hi all! I'm heading to San Francisco Thursday through Sunday with 2 girlfriends. I've never been and am trying to plan great dinners, a show, (and we've got a tour planned for the Redwoods and Sonoma wine country). I'd love restaurant suggestions. I'll paste what friends have...

Okay, okay. I know there was a jeans thread not too long ago, but face it. We always need to update secrets in the jeans department! Since all of our bodies are different, how about posting: *What have you found to work for *your* body type? *What style/cut? (skinny, boot cut, loose...

Hi all - Here's the deal - My computer has a glitch right now, and I can't get to cathe's homepage. I have to hop on the board by scrolling down my "history" bar. Boo...gotta get it fixed. I'm thinking about preordering (if we still can...i might be too late....I looked a few weeks ago...

Heather and others, A quick specific note to Heather first: Just wanted to write and say hi -- So, I found out I'm not the best with "check-ins". Some days/weeks are busier than others, as you can imagine! I hope you're doing well though. And, you know, the BIGGEST thing for me is to think...

Whether I type "www.cathe.com" in my browser, or if I just hit the "home" tab at the top of this page, I get a window asking me if I'd like to save a file (with an almost blank white page in the background). If I hit save, it gives me options where to open (which my aol didn't work), or I can...

Hi all. Glad you're joining me! A little background: After years of dieting and not listening to my body, I'm practicing tuning in, and I'm definitely a work in progress. But, I've found being conscious and letting things be neither "good" nor "bad" helps me to move forward in a compassionate...

After responding to a recent post, "feel a major binge coming on...", I thought it might be a good time to start a check-in I've been imagining. I'll post it in the appropriate folder...I'd rather steer in the direction of compassion and mind/body truth as opposed to detailed calculating...

Fishing for ideas: I won $1,000 toward a trip (flight/hotel) to almost anywhere I want to go from site59.com. I need to use it by the end of the year, and if you're familiar with site59, you know it's a last-minute planning tool, as in about a two-week scheduling window. Most of my...

Any yoga instructors or about-to-be yoga instructors familiar with the YogaFit certification? Here's the deal: I'm researching (I think I'm always researching) yoga certifications, and I am definitely a beginner. I typically do my own yoga, read Yoga Journal, and take some classes at my gym...

Hi all: I want to thank those of you who responded to my questions re: PT certifications. I was on the fence among a few different directions, so I decided to start with AFAA and go from there. Just got the "you passed" letter today, so I am ready to make phone calls and network! A few...

Hi, smart women! I thought I'd come here for some solid advice. I'm single in the city and am looking to date. It's been a long time, and I am willing to open myself up to trusting again, to putting myself out there. I use the analogy: "it's like exercise, some people hate it, but they...
