Hi everyone,
I am an old Cathelete returning to the fold. I can't remember my old user name but I do remember Debbie H., Aquajock, and several others of you out there. Debbie, I'm sure you don't remember, but we were discussing plate mates at one point. This was probably six years ago so I don't expect you to remember. Just want to say hi.
Anyway, a little history about myself if y'all don't mind. I was an avid worker-outer for 25+ years. I loved all aspects of "being healthy." Due to health problems and a very toxic marriage I gradually stopped working out and looking after any of my own needs. I ended up dependent on benzodiazpines and painkillers. My life consisted of getting up, taking pills, and sleeping. This lasted for six long years.
About one year ago I finally got up the courage to leave my marriage. I moved in with my son temporarily. With tons of amazing family support I quit taking all medications and gained some self esteem back. I moved into my own condo and felt pretty darn good. I was watching Fit tv and guess who I ran across. Yep, good ole Cathe. Stretch Max was the program and I thought I was going to die! I could barely move! Every stretch was unbelievably painful. Well you guys know that nobody can get enough of Cathe. Within a week I had popped my old dvd's into the player and was back at it. I retrieved my weight bench, barbell, and weights from my son and here I am!
This has been a long journey back, but I am amazingly happy, getting, healthy again, and so exicted to be alive!
Sorry for the long post but I just had to reconnect with the Cathe nation!
Thanks everyone!
BTW I originally started this thread to comment on Cathe's Customer Care
support team. They are awesome! I ordered some new dvd's and had a few problems. They answered immediately and took care of everything asap. I emailed them a thank you and they even responded to that! Just the best!
