    I'd suggest going to Macys.com and using their "Denim Finder". You can then choose your criteria and they will give you an assortment of brands and price ranges. Good Luck!

    Firewalker Bands

    Thanks for all the input everyone! My original Cathe bands lasted me almost 2 years so... not bad. I was just surprised to see the poor reviews when you go the product. Anyway, I'm gonna get them. Thanks again, Elizabeth

    Firewalker Bands

    Hello everyone, This has probably been addressed before, so I apologize if that's the case. I have either broken or lost my Altus Firewalker bands and am ready for a new set. Unfortunately, the one's in Cathe's shop get horrible reviews for breaking (I can commiserate with that since 2 of...

    Surviving Whole Foods by Kelly MaclLean

    Funny article, but I have to say that I like the Whole Foods near me. It has a mix of all kinds of people and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I also like that they seem to be taking a stand with the GMO labeling. It is expensive though and I only go for little things here and...

    Another "Name that XTRain song"

    I'm pretty sure it's by a band called The Naked and the Famous and the song is "Punching in a Dream". They have another song called "Young Blood" that sounds a lot like it as well so you can try both. Elizabeth

    Any Runners out there?

    Thanks for the advice! I am excited and nervous. My endurance is not that great yet, so I am just aiming to finish, hence the 5 day training week. I am not to the point where long and short runs make sense. They are all short at this point. But I bought great sneakers and my body is...

    Any Runners out there?

    I wondered about the plyo, because I have heard it helps with power/speed. I'm training 5 days now, because running is so different from other types of cardio and I feel like I need to condition myself. Also, I live in a moderately hilly area, although the 5K will be more "slopey" than...

    Any Runners out there?

    Hi Everyone, I recently took up running again after not doing so for many years. I thought it would be tough on my body at this point but I am loving it and not experiencing any joint or muscle issues at all much to my delight! I have found it to be such a stress relieving and calming...

    What about all those premixes???

    Hi BZBNMOM, I love premixes too! I don't know how many Cathe vids you have but the following link has IMO a great rotation using only premixes: Cathe Friedrich - December 2009 Timesaver Rotation Also, another thing I like to do is use the workout manager. I look up the DVD, then the...

    Salt, Sugar Fat by Michael Moss

    Macbeaner, Sugar, salt, fat would make a great audio book. It does not have charts, tables, etc. it is written by an investigative reporter and I imagine would sound like you are listening to a documentary. Sent from my iPhone using CatheForum

    Salt, Sugar Fat by Michael Moss

    I read this. What really got me was all the research and testing that goes into finding our "bliss point." basically they have engineered this food in such a manner as to make it addictive. I thought the section on lunchables was fascinating. Not that I'd ever eat one, but it's terrible how...

    Avoiding too much lower body work in order to shrink legs?

    Candiceena, I wanted to also add that your best bet as far as eating goes is to focus more on eating high quality food and avoiding processed food altogether. You can eat much more unprocessed food than you can processed for the same amount of calories which will help alleviate any feelings...

    Avoiding too much lower body work in order to shrink legs?

    See a link below where Cathe answers a question from another Cathlete regarding getting leaner legs. Her response included not doing more than one Plyo workout per week (Sorry Natasha :p). I guess that's why the LIS series has helped so many lean out...

    Anyone a part-time Vegan?

    I am a little late on this thread but I did want to chime in. I eat very little meat, and eat a mostly plant based diet free of animal products although not for philosophical reasons but simply because I feel so much better when I do not have meat, dairy etc. I'm not sure if this is mentioned...

    Is Diet Pop REALLY that bad for you????

    Short answer is yes, they are bad for you. Besides being full of chemicals there is now research that suggests that artificial sweeteners can actually impede weight loss/control because the pancreas will secrete insulin to deal with the expected sugar, even if it "fake." Any increase in...

    so many diets and workouts. which ti choose?

    Wow, I'm loving this thread. I just turned 39 and have spent the last three months doing a serious self assessment because my body has changed. I too have just 10 pounds to lose, but it turns out those last 10 are the hardest. I do a lot of reading on nutrition and I've returned to school to...
