Food is love. Find a stray. Feed it. Grumpy kid. Hungry? I have watched people buy fat-free everything and thought, no! Put a little fat, saturated fat, and you get the mouthfeel and a full belly. Anti-carb people drive me crazy. Carbohydrates are energy. Yes, adding protein helped to develop...

Hi. I am Bobbi. I used to work out with Cathe but now need to get going again. Nutrition is simple. Complex carbs should make up the majority of your calories. Carbs fuel Protein to build and repair muscle. Lean but do indulge at times. Fat is not evil and saturated fat tastes great. Moderation...

Beginnings I am definitely a beginner and keep telling myself to forget having been advanced and able to go high impact. No more. I did Basic Step, easy as pie at six inches. When I go to 8 next time, I hope my knees cooperate. I have 3 of the low impact, high intensity workouts and they scare...

You are absolutely right. I have had a desire to run just a little. That's so unlike the days of anything under 7 miles is a waste of time. I know that it's not an option without knee and possible hip surgery. I did indeed Cathe's Basic Step workout yesterday on a 6 inch step, followed by...

I can power walk I started walking my dog again and he is all energy at the start. I can power walk and get those benefits. I just need 4 to 6 weeks of these activities and the coming results that I know well. My left arch is collapsed but my right knee noisily protests any impact. I just want...

You are a youngun! It's not your age. At 44, I was insanely energetic. I can't believe I am turning 50! Taking breaks, even as long as a full week, can be beneficial because you store some unused energy and it can mean coming back and really feeling energized and ready to rock and roll. I used...

I did it. I nearly died. My left knee can't take high impact and I struggled to keep up.I have no remnants of a formerly advanced hi/lo and step queen left in my bod. Tomorrow I go low impact. I digitally downloaded two workouts to try. I am going to cry but I am going to work out too...

CardioSuperSets I pulled out Cross Train Express but tomorrow I am doing Low Impact CardioSuperSets because I can't go high and I suck at step and hi/lo. I retained nothing of my former advanced abilities and I was surprised. I am spent now and will be sore tomorrow. I plan 21 days of workouts...

Tomorrow is the big day that I re-embrace my inner workout goddess. I thought to begin with Cross Train Express, an old, familiar favorite. Today I digitally downloaded Low Impact Cardio Super Sets. Is that the workout to fire me up to workout again? I know it's brutal but I can modify and will...

Taking a week off can lead to returning with renewed vigor and really great workouts. Rest. Your body will thank you!

Thank you! Thanks, Belinda. I am always grateful to receive a hug!

Chicks rule! Oh, yes, I was the Chick's rule person and I loved to post in the forums. I laughed so much and it is always so wonderful to be part of something like Cathe.com. The woman here are fabulous. It has exploded. I love Cathletes. Thanks for the warm welcome. I feel quite at home. I...

Hi, everybody! I found Cathe and the website in 1999-2000. I fell in love. My husband died two years ago after a long battle with alcoholism and pain killer addiction, failed rehab and my life fell apart. I rather did too. I have been in the depths of despair and depression and am finally...

Hello, Debbie. It's Bobbi from years ago. How I loved your posts. So good to see you are still at it. I am coming back after a long time and place away. I am a widow and that story changed my life so I am trying to reinvent myself using what I know works. How are you?

Do as much as you can and then rest. Do it regularly and you will soon find increases in strength, stamina and you will love how it makes you feel. Push yourself and you'll get farther, faster but it's okay to listen to the body and take it easy too. I have not worked out in several years and I...

You will and there is no shame in taking small bites to get to those ultimate goals. I used to live in these forums and did Cathe's workouts daily. Life and some big changes changed that and today I dusted off Cross Train Express and all the low impact workouts and brought my weights, steps...

Today I brought my weights, barbells, step, mini step, risers and floor cushion mats in from my garage because I am going to do Cathe workouts again. I ordered After Burn because I need to modify. I cannot run amy more either. I used to live in these forums. I wonder who from the old gang still...

Hello, Debbie, it is I, Bobbi, the prodigal child, gone too long from the forums and my hve they changed! How are yoou, you lovely woman?

I previewed the 4 day split, get my cast off Tuesday and cannot wait to have a go at them. I have never loved all the cardio per series and love doing weights after my cardio--or before. I am delighted. I am also excited to have my orthopedic surgeon saw this gnarly cast off Tuesday at...

Thank you,Cathy. :) I am just going to take it slow and steady and carefully. I am so happy it's sweater and sweat season so I can hide the LBs I have added of late. ;) Bobbi http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/Fool/hb.gif http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/Fool/bis.gif Tell...
