I'm bad. Really bad. I obsessed so much about what to get I swear I was losing sleep over it. My husband thought I had tripped off into the twilight zone. The problem is I WANT EVERYTHING! After reading numerous posts and listening to my friends here, I ordered the MIS dvd, the high step with ME and the new Timesaver only. Figured I couldn't pass up anything that saves time and the ME was like almost free with the step - such a deal! My logic was (what was left of it) a) I'm worth it! b) MIS seems to be the torture of choice for beginners to Cathe c) I can always order PS and S&H if I pass this initiation into Cathe. I still need to buy a barbell or someone please tell me how you manage without one. Thank you all so much for your kindnesses. Cheryl
