Hi Everyone! I will be here at 12 noon Eastern time to have lunch at my desk. I am teaching my silver sneakers class and then ordering my steamed lunch at the fresh and yummy sushi place next door. I'm hoping you can stop in and chat with me for lunch. Hope to see you :D
 
Cathe, I'll be with 40 1st graders at lunch but have to tell you...I know the Road Trips are all about fitness and health, but you can't go to that neck of the woods without trying Blue Bell (NOT the same as Blue Bunny) ice cream. You just can't. It's made in Brenham (not far from where the retreat is) and is FAMOUS and so well loved in Texas. You'll be able to find it anywhere. And just watch the smile on the concierge's face when you mention Blue Bell. They'll love that you know about it! And will run, not walk, to the nearest grocery store to get it for you. PS...I highly recommend the mint chocolate chip or cherry vanilla and both are offered in pint sizes.

Nothing but love, Cathe!

Warmest,

That sounds tasty Cathe--probably you should enjoy it now, b/c we probably won't be getting much or affording seafood in the near future. :(
 
Cathe, could you pick up some sushi for me? :p Oh well, guess my tuna sandwich will just have to do!
 
Hi Cathe,

I own Low Max & Pure Strength Combo DVDs. I really love them, and have been out of the loop concerning all of your new productions. I kind of fell out of working out regularly after we moved, and gained 20 pounds.:eek:

It's very important to me to get this weight off. First, I'm terrified that I will gain more. I used to be 200 pounds, and lost 70lbs over the course of a year & a half about 4 years ago, and I had successfully kept it off until we moved last year. Secondly, I turn 40 at the end of June. :eek:

I don't want to start my 40's overweight & out of shape. I can feel myself having less energy & feeling just, blah. I don't want to end up like that.

I went to your website a couple of months ago, and then "liked" your page on Facebook, so that's how I learned of your lunch. I was overwhelmed by the amount of progress that has been done on your website & DVDs. I don't know where to start.

I still like the DVDs I already own, but thought of getting something new, but I just don't know what to get. I have always loved and excelled at weight training, but I really don't love cardio, & that's putting it politely. I will do it, but I don't excel at it. In fact, even when I was at my fittest, and lightest, it was a challenge to finish all the combos in the Low Max. Sometimes, I couldn't finish. So, cardio-wise, I'm not that great. This is the same person who, within 6 weeks can really stack on the weight while I do squats, lunges, deadlifts, you name it.

Anyway, sorry this is so long. Any suggestions on where to start? How often, etc.?

Oh, and BTW, your DVDs are the only ones I can tolerate. They are just far more challenging & well choreographed, & your personality is great.

Thanks for your time!
 
Hints and tips for someone trying to change the shape of her legs?

Hi Cathe!

Happy lunch.

You are the bees knees, love your videos, your wonderful choreography and queueing. Have been purchasing your videos and DVDs for years.

I was wondering if you had any hints and tips for someone specifically trying to decrease the size of her legs and hips. I am very much a pear shape, and would love some pointers (or even a specific rotation!) geared toward decreasing the size of my thighs, hips and butt area.

You rock. Thanks for what you do!

Happy lunching, Cathe! It's my breakfast time (West coast) and I'm having oatmeal with blueberries and almond butter. And coffee, my only addiction!

This week I decided to do the 4-Day Split as its original four day workout. I bought it recently and have been loving the premixes. Loving! Today is Boot Camp/Bi's/Tri's.

Have a great long weekend, everyone!

Too funny Bobbi, that was my breakfast too (but I had natural Peanut Butter) fit minds think alike :D

Have a great workout!

Hi Cathe. Yes, yes, Yes what Jonezie said. While you are here in Texas you must try Blue Bell ice cream. My favorite is Home Made Vanilla. It is the best tasting ice cream I have ever eaten.

Hi Cathe!! Hope I didn't miss you. I'm on 1st break at work. Haven't made it lunch yet :)

I am currently doing the all STS rotation and have MMA fusion (love it!) and the cardion only from Circuit Blast on tap for tonight. Let me tell you, the cardio only mix is tougher than the whole workout together. No breaks!

I am also enjoying you be on the forums more lately, I think alot of us missed in.

In hopes that you are reading this, I'm going to toss out a Zazzle suggestion, too. I'd like to see a mug w/ famous Cathe quotes on it "work, work" "what you do to one side, you do to the other" "take a break not a vacation" "was that a sheep" "shakin' like a chihauhau"
Or one with workout terminology on it. "3 knee repeater" "around the world" "pop pop duck"

Ok, gotta work now! Happy Day!!!

Hi Cathe.

I have oatmeal w/natural p/b for breakfast almost every morning! YUM! I have a salad and a piece of left over chicken sausage for lunch today. Slept thru my work out again this morning. Second time this week! Hoping to get it done after dinner again though!

Enjoy your afternoon! :)
 
We're having a salad potluck at the office today. I brought in an apple cranberry wheat berry salad to share. Looking forward to seeing the other options.

Thank you for kicking my booty into gear with Step Blast this morning. One of my all time faves!

Happy Thursday to you.
 
A quick grilled chicken sandwich for me with some strawberries. Just wanted to say hi Cathe.
I am off to prep for a 1pm meeting. Enjoy the day everyone!!!

Hi Cathe! Happy lunching :)

I'm off to go try Athletic Step for the first time, I have not been a Step fan in the past, but maybe I can do this one since the moves are more basic and less dancey, I figured I have it, might as well try it!

Wish me luck ;)
 
Hi Jonezie! I ADORE ice cream and will never pass it up no matter how fit I am (cuz ya know, everything in moderation ;)). I will absolutely try it and I'll have fun impressing the concierge when I mention it :D. Thanks for the heads up. Did you know that Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite flavor too?

Funny related story.......on the San Diego RT, a Cathlete (Sangeeta) was a local from San Diego and and insisted that I have to try Fossilman's ice cream. She drove in with it packed in a cooler ...too funny.

Can't wait to hunt me down some Blue Bell :D
