    I think people who rate threads...

    are really, really ridiculous. You know what? I just posted on the Shock forum that Cathe's form for her hooks in the MMA series were superb. Um, okay - so who rated the thread low? What warrants THAT?! People are weird. And PS - get a life. Clarissa

    Cathe, your form is superb!

    Cathe - I just wanted to compliment you on your awesome form in the MMA portions of Shock Cardio. I am particularly impressed with your hooks during boxing and fusion! Thanks for the motivation! Clarissa :D

    I am not a good business person

    I am so distraught. I have my own personal training business that I run out of my home. I follow everything by the book, so to speak. I advertise, have a large base of clients (that I can handle), and have all adequate forms and insurance, lots of knowledge, and lots of equipment, etc, etc, etc...

    Who else does a Super Duper workout on New Years Day?

    What is everyone doing tomorrow for a workout? OR is everyone going to be too hungover? LOL! I make it a point every year to not drink too much so that I can do two Cathe workouts back-to-back - maybe more. For the length of time that my baby will nap, I will workout tomorrow!!! 2 hours? More...

    No record of my purchasing pre-sale Shock! :(

    I have been anxiously awaiting my arrival of Shock Cardio for months. I have been reading of all the excitement of those who have received it so I went on Cathe today to see if mine is in line to ship but there is no record of my pre-order under my email or phone number! I am devastated, to say...

    Anyone recently take the GRE??

    Hey everyone! I have been away from the forum for a few months. Happy holidays! Anyway...tomorrow I am taking the GRE to get into grad school for clinical psychology. I sort of decided that I wanted to go back as the personal training thing (PERSONALLY) is not exactly what I wanted to do. I...

    Finally got my biopsy results-

    I don't have cancer! I also don't have Rheumatoid Arthritis, but I DO have the severe case of Hashimotos (underactive thyroid to the max!). I will have to continue on the Synthroid and it will take awhile to get my dosage right. Until then, she said I will have to endure the joint pain and...

    My biopsy was hilariously easy!!

    I was worried about nothing. Wow. How easy can it get? Thanks to all who helped me through this. I can't belive I "lost years off of my life" thinking about this for 8 days!! I had 8 samples taken thru 2 nodules. The whole procedure was like 12 minutes long, including prep, numbing the site...

    Question about Needle Biopsy for Thyroid

    If there is anyone out here who has had this nightmare done to them, I would like to know if you opted for the valium, and if so, did you think it helped? Also, I would like to know, in all honesty, how painful this procedure is. Please be honest with me - I need two biopsies done on my thyroid...

    Wish me luck...extensive bloodwork today...:(

    Well, it gets from bad to worse. I went to an Endocrinologist and she says that the regular MD misdiagnosed me and I most likely do not have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. She says that the Synthroid I was on was very dangerous, even fatal, for me and gave me a long medical reason as to why...etc...

    Update - I have Hashimoto's Disease...

    I asked about Synthroid last week...I was further tested and they determined that I have Hashimotos Disease. They ran additional tests for my thyroid and out of a scale of 0-34, which is normal, I was a 337! Dr. told me that this meant I have zero thyroid, ZERO metabolism, in my body at this...

    Any opinions/info on Synthroid??

    I just got the results of my bloodwork back...let me first say something. I went to a new doctor last week for extreme low back pain. No other symptoms. Because I was a new patient, he said, hey lets do a full bloodwork on you. Did you eat yet today? It was 11:30 am...I told him yes I ate...

    Did anyone actually gain POUNDS in STS??!!

    Uhm, because I did. I can't even say how much b/c I am so embarrassed. My DH did too, scale wise. I didn't retake my measurements yet, I am in Meso 3 with two weeks to go. Not sure if I am seeing results. I am learning that my body sees better results though thru circuits like Drill Max, etc. I...

    I have overtraining syndrome :(

    Can anyone help me? I am suffering from overtraining. I never believed it could happen to me. I can totally recognize it. I have it quite bad. So bad that I could crawl up in fetal position right this minute and cry uncontrollably. I have no desire to do anything - even eat. Yet, I am still...

    Rowing Machine recommendations??

    I would like to purchase a rowing machine for my PT business. Also, I would like to purchase a StairClimber (not a basic stepper machine). Does anyone have a favorite? I am looking at WaterRower but would like to hear any suggestions first as there are SO many from which to choose. Thanks...

    Why is a little caffeine pill bad for me? Or is it?

    I have a very hectic schedule as a personal trainer/mother. I wake up daily before 4:30 am, see 3 clients straight in my home gym, then take care of three small children all day (one of which is a newborn) and then from 5-8pm (sometimes 9pm) work w/ clients again. (note that I see clients only...

    This is my BIGGEST PET PEEVE!!! UGH!

    Or at least one of my major ones (next to unsolicited advice, lol!) I know we are ALL busy people. I am super duper busy from 4 am until 10 pm with 3 very small children, a full time training business that I run out of my home and I am a clean-aholic (so I make chores for myself! :)) BUT -...
