How does it feel?

[FourAM]

I just got through reading some of the success stories on CatheNation. I am in awe of just how many people you inspire daily. Me being one of them!
There was one common thread, aside form you of course, in every woman's story. They all had amazing results.
I was just wondering how it feels to see all your hard work really paying off for so many people. I think it is a testament to your skill as a motivator and a teacher that so many people have become life long fans and followers.
Thanks for always challenging us!

Forever a Follower!
Sincerely
Rachel

This is a great post -- I agree with you fully Rachel! I've never posted my "story", but I've been working out to Cathe for over 20 years now and although I use other instructor's DVDs from time to time to change it up (although this is NOT very often!) she is the one I use the most! I'm 45 years old and people are always telling me how fit I look for my age -- I always give the credit to Cathe! I've gone to the last 3 road trips and had an awesome time (met so many fantastic people!) I can't go in July 2010, but luckily Cathe is going to be in Texas in October (actually right around the corner from me!) Will definitely be there! Cathe is a wonderful inspiration to everyone in my opinion!

I totally agree Rachel! I often wonder where I'd be if it weren't for Cathe. I also wonder from time-to-time if she really, truly knows what she means to so many of us out here! I don't think the are words that can describe my gratitude for all her talent and for sharing it with us. It's the gift of life IMO! Thanks Cathe!!!! And, Rachel, thanks for such a nice post!

I am also a long time follower and owe all my strength to Cathe. Thank you Cathe! You are considered one of our family as our kid knows you all their life. They saw your changes from beginning and my DH respect you more than any other instructors out there. You have definitely gained a title in our home, Super Woman!

Thanks for everything and do not stop what you are doing, because I will not.

Give yourself the credit

You made it happen, she just gave you a means. People are in awe that I can cook a batch of cookies and not lick my fingers (and the bowl and the beaters and not eat the batter and the cookies), that I can participate in a luncheon or a birthday party at work and not eat the cake, that I can maintain my weight (to some degree) - because of ME! Because I sacrifice the time it takes to work out every day, denying myself all the yummy stuff I'd like to eat but don't. And reaping the benefits of being able to half-marathons, the energy to get up at 5 and go to bed at 10 and do it all over again all week, and to do everything I want to do. I see the the flip side and I don't like it. But don't EVER forget to give yourself the credit. Cathe's an inspiration. The first time I saw her on Fit TV, I was hooked, a bod like that doing the workouts she did...just WOW! Her hard tapes are still hard for me, I like that too.
