Hello, Cathe: I am a veteran Cathe workout fiend. This past week, I have been doing construction labor on a house I am renovating - everything from hobit-walking under houses, lifting lumber, hammering for hours and cutting and dragging branches. Cut to the chase: I am sore to the point of...

Cathe: I have never been sore in my glutes after doing Butts & Guts. I already searched previous posts on this, because I recall some discussions on it shortly after that DVD came out, but have found nothing. Can you please comment? My legs in general get a good workout and nice tired...

Oh man. My family and I are having the worst May on record. It's unbelievable so I just had to share it with all you. If nothing else, it will make you count your blessings. (I'm still searching for mine...) 1. My husband's Steelcase Furniture dealership closed its doors last week after...

Ladies: Do you think there is a place in this world for a fitness and nutrition advisor/coach?? I have seen both of these, of course, individually, but have not experienced an advisor or coach that coaches the big picture - both nutrition and fitness. I am gathering from all our posts asking...

By that I mean, what works for you re: combination of diet, workout variation, rest days, etc.? And what are your goals in this effort? And what is your evil de-railer? For me, it looks like this: A vegan diet: lots of veggies and soy protein with oatmeal in the mornings. I can absorb...

I would love to see a series that: 1)offers us about 45 minutes of high intensity interval cardio with a long enough rest between intervals to get our heart rates down around 130 before we blast off again. Would love to see variations/premixes of intervals like this for variety; and...

Hi ladies: For those of you who suffer the blues, are they worse in the morning?? And what do you do to get around them (other than or in addition to medication, if that applies). I value your input. Thanks in advance.

Hey all you gurus: Does anyone know if there is a connection between muscle soreness and protein consumption? I ask because I have always had low protein consumption and am just about never sore no matter how intense and heavy my workouts are. (And my muscles don't look big,either, although...

Has anyone read Mackie Shilstone's new boo, Lean and Hard? Has anyone had any experience with Mackie's programs? He is a trainer in New Orleans who has trained a number of pro boxers and taken them to the next level and, more recently, started a couple of different training programs for us...

How do you know when it one of our forum friends' birthday??

Just had to relate this evening's workout with Lola, my Boxer. Doing Pure Strength Chest, Back and Shoulders, as I was starting out with those decline push ups, Lola comes over to check out and try to pull off my weight gloves, standing over me. So, as I'm pushing up, I'm running into the...

Morning all! I need your help. I simply am freaked out about my weight being over 130 pounds, regardless of all the kind and terrific remarks on the Board! I love ya, man!:7 I am more comfortable around 125 or so, and am going to get back to that by July 2, which is our 25th wedding...

Great on you, Ladies! Can you tell I did Jari Love for yesterday's workout? And a good one it was. If I was a camera person, I would take a picture of my Boxer, Lola, right now, sitting with her back end on one step and her front paws on the next lower step, calmly observing her...

I am laughing so hard... you guys are HILARIOUS with your farting stories and cottage cheese butts - Oh my god, I hope I don't choke to death on my peas and pinot!! Laura Max - you win hands down! (Is that an honor??:o )

Kel and Nancy (and everyone else): Wow, Kel - that is a stretch of bad luck, for sure... You have a very positive attitude, though! That's one of wine's best curative powers, right?:7 :9 I'm thinking that, since this truly is a check-in of like-minded women, that we can expand our chats...

Ladies: No further interest in the Healthy Hedonists check-in?

Me again! And a very hedonistic me it is. Continued greetings from The Big Easy. Today we have reservations for brunch at Commanders' Palace then dinner at Restaurant August. :D It's tough to be a cheap date in New Orleans! The weather cooled off dramatically - about 25 degrees - so it's...

Yoohoo... Hello?? Is everyone at Mardi Gras? Maybe just sleeping in. I actually am in New Orleans on business (and pleasure, of course). But too early for Mardi Gras. But the decorations on the homes are great - it's like Christmas but in green, purple and yellow lights! I will be...
