Hi ladies, I am almost 7 weeks pregnant and I am completely lacking in any energy or motivation to work out. It has been 5 years since my first pregnancy and I just don't remember it being this bad. The nausea and fatigue is overwhelming. I am trying not to complain, because the journey...

I am hoping some of you can help me know what to expect when I go talk to my dr. I had a m/c about 5 yrs ago. That happened at 11 weeks. Then I got pregnant and had my son, who just turned 4. About 6 months ago I had a m/c at about 6 weeks. And just this weekend I had another m/c at 6...

If you have someone on your gift list that has you stumped this year, here is a gift idea. For $25, you can have a care package sent to one of our troops serving abroad. This is a program that is part of the USO. I heard about it on the Bob & Tom radio program. You can do a tribute...

I JUST found out that I am pg. I have been working out with Cathe for 8 years, but I don't remember being so confused with my first pregnancy 5 yrs ago. As far as cardio goes, I am pretty clear on what modifications I need to make. Where I am confused is with strength training. I wasn't...

Here is a thought provoker for a Thursday. You fill in the blank and brag if you want! 1. I never thought I'd be able to do Leaner Legs with a 45# BB! 2. Look forward to doing any of the Imax's! Have fun, Tina

Let me preface this post by saying that I am not trying to stir anything up or accuse anyone of wrong-doing. I guess I just want to make sure that we are all careful regarding those who promote products on the forum. I was at the Runners World forums this morning and read a post that had...

My husband informed me last night that I am obsessed with exercise. I usually don't check the forums at home (gotta have something to do at work, right). Anyway, it was rainy outside, so I was on the computer and he came in to see what I was doing and found me on this website. He said that...

I recently increased my weights on Muscle Endurance. I have often wondered if it makes any difference on leg presses if you hold one dumbell/plate at chest level (like Cathe and Crew) or if you hold 2 dumbells down at your sides (like in LL). I was using a single 25lb dumbell, but now have...

The anticipation of knowing that I am pregnant is really killing me. I don't remember having to wait this long with my first child (over 3 yrs ago). I did a HPT yesterday (Tuesday) and it still showed negative. I did one the day before (Monday) and it showed a very very very faint positive...

I am wondering how early anyone experienced pregnancy symptoms. I have a 3 1/2 yr old son and I don't remember really having any symptoms until 6 weeks or so. My DH and I just started TTC this month. I am 99% sure that I ovulated last Thursday. I am trying to rationalize why I am...

I watched this movie over the weekend. It is about Franklin D. Roosevelt and his affliction with Polio. What an exceptional story! I highly recommend watching it if you get a chance. I don't watch many movies anymore, because they seem to insult my intelligence or aren't appropriate for...

I have really been trying to get more protein in between meals during the day, but have had a hard time because I can not stand the taste of protein bars and so many of them are loaded with sugar (which I get plenty of from other sources) and I can only eat so many egg whites during the day...

I have been a devoted Catheite for about 8 years and have not been tempted by any other programs or instructors, except for crosstraining with running. I was on the treadmill this a.m. and watched the paid programming for Core Secrets. Has anybody tried this program? I am wondering if it...

Just wanted to report that I complete my first half marathon yesterday and say "Thanks" to those of you who gave me advice during my training. My goals were to finish in under 2 hours without walking. I met both of my goals and finished in 1 hour 56 minutes. I placed 20th out of 189 in the...

Hi all, I know there are several of us that are training for races this fall. I thought it would be nice to just have a little "check-in" and progress report. I am working on my first half marathon which I will run on September 19 in St. Charles, MO. I am ready to run it now and wish it...

Hi ladies, I am considering starting training for a half marathon this fall. Can anybody recommend any good books or websites with training programs that involve cross-training? I will probably only run 2 times per week and still try to do an interval workout and a kickboxing workout, as...

I have been doing some research on hypoglycemia and have found that many of the symptoms apply to me. I haven't been to the dr yet and had a glucose tolerance test done. I would like to order a book that addresses treatment/diet. Does anybody have any recommendations? Thanks in advance...

Hi ladies, I haven't posted here much lately since my baby isn't much of a baby anymore, but I do check in frequently to see what is going on. Any way, with warm weather coming I just want to share an experience I had while I was pregnant to remind you of the importance of staying...

1. I'll agree with many others about another Kickboxing! 2. There seem to be so many new Cathe enthusiasts asking for advice on the forum of where to begin. I don't think you should necessarily make a lower intensity cardio for them, but possibly an updated workout where you go back and...

Hi all, I have been trying to decide on a new rotation for myself and really considering what changes I need to make to try to thin down my thighs. I have a very athletic build with strong legs and despite all of my best efforts, I will probably never have "thin legs." That being said...
