I just ordered a *&^%$ load of CIA videos naturally they were on sale.. and now I am awaiting Cathes DVD's.. but my questions is..

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.. I have sooo many videos I am not buying any more for the rest of the year }( :)D of course there are only 2 months left }( )

What do you think???
ENOUGH ALREADY :+
 
I have so many videos - some I haven't even used it! I told myself this weekend that I should not buy anymore but, really, sometimes I just can't help it....I just got the new Collage video catalog and ear dogged so many pages......help! Funny, I'm a pretty frugal person and don't spend friviously, but videos are definitely a vice for me.

Not me! I am extremely frugal when it comes to buying videos. I REFUSE to waste my money on a workout that just doesn't cut the mustard! Call it being poor, but hey, it works for me cause when I do get a workout I know its one that will be a "keeper!" Cathe is the ONLY instructor I trust enough to pre-order from because I know with her I'm getting a top notch/quality workout when it comes, but others pale in Cathe's shadow to me so for non-Cathe workouts I'll wait and read the reviews from others here and at VF and then make my purchases based on the feedback I read from you "educated crowd" types! :D

Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!
 
Over the years I've had some real duds, and I gave them away. I've also recently given away some old Firms, all the FitPrimes I spent WAY too much money on, and the first set of "new" Firms I wish I hadn't bought. Hey ... live and learn right? LOL! I take them to work and leave them out, and in about two hours they're gone. I figure at least someone might use them, or pass them on to someone else who will, and that's better than them collecting dust in my closet. I'm not an eBay type person, so I'd rather just give them away.

That's so funny... I have enough videos to do a different workout everyday for a year (well, maybe not that long, but you get the idea!) I just got my Collage Video catalog too -- and I loaded up my cart on the website... But I haven't completed the purchase yet... I have enough! I keep telling myself that, but that doesn't stop me!:)
 
I've been going through my collection of 100+ workouts (actually closer t0 200, I think!) and donating some that I don't use to the local library (which either adds them to their collection, or sells them off at a fund-raising sale).

I'd love to resolve to not buy any more workouts for the rest of the year, but I'm not sure if I'd make it!!
 
I keep telling myself I have enough, but I keep on buying. I am currently replacing all of my favorite video workouts onto DVD...now THAT is really not necessary and yet just yesterday ordered three more!
 
I am not the voice of reason at the current moment. I, too, took advantage of the CIA sale and am getting quite a few items off of the VF trade forum or the YaYa's swapmeet. I tell myself I am allowed since I am not paying full price.

Do I have enough videos? More than enough! Do I want more? You betcha! I like having a selection to fit both my mood and my desired intensity level. For example, I am currently under the weather (bad cold) and Cathe is way too intense for me. So I will do some of my lower intensity workouts (if my body is up for it) until I recover and then go back to Cathe and others.

Workouts are on my Christmas wish list and I'll be getting a bonus at work next month and a chunk of that will go to a massive DVD purchase as I transition from VHS to DVD. But I am finding that I am more choosy with what I will spend money on. When I was starting out I would buy so much without much thought. But as my collection has grown, I have found I am a much more patient and informed consumer.

My motto, variety is the spice of life. Since videos are my primary source of exercise (no gym dues, no big pieces of equipment), I will indulge myself from time to time to vary my collection. It just so happens right now is one of those collection expansion times.
 
I just bought a ton of sale CIAs too....I'm just waiting for my Cathes and then I will refuse to buy any more - for a while at least!!!
 
When I became a vidiot, a year and a half ago, I went nuts and bought just about every video that had a positive review on VF. I collected well over a hundred DVD's/videos in less than a year. Then I discovered Cathe and bought all of her stuff. Since then, I've had little desire to buy any more. With the exception of the Slim Series and Lotte Berk, I have showed great restraint. After all, Cathe basically covers all my needs. However, I must mention that I just ordered 5 more yoga videos from Amazon and I'm anxiously awaiting my BB DVD's. :p

OK! I don't have enough, and probably never will!!!
