Hi all:
I am new to the site, but I just had to make a few comments. I just got my first Cathe tapes today, and I am already a fan! Just a couple of weeks ago, I had never heard of Cathe, when I ran into the Video Fitness Web site, where all the rave is Cathe, Cathe, Cathe. I was sold on the tapes before I got them. I have Body Max, MIS, MIC and Power Max. I must say after reviewing all the tapes, I realize that I am not quite as advanced as I thought I was. I tried Body Max tonight, and I can't believe I still have the energy to type! I love it though. I was getting way too used to my old tapes, and my biggest gripe was that I hated sitting through instructional portions of videos, letting my heart rate dip, and not getting the most effective workout. Cathe certainly solves that problem.
One adjustment I think I am going to have to make is to move my workout routine to nights because of the length of her videos. I just don't have that kind of time in the morning. I have been doing two workouts a day, one light in the morning and a blaster at night. Cathe seems to make my combined efforts look like nothing. So I will just do one workout a day, alternating strength and cardio. Does anybody see a problem with that?
My only problem is dinner. I am not as advanced as the rest of you. I am just beginning to make my dinners lighter. By night I am starving, and naturally, all I want is carbs. I just bought a dozen cans of tuna and some chicken breasts to help me increase my protein, but I really don't have the desire to eat it. For the past several years, I have actually decreased meats in my meals. How can I make these things more appealing? Was this a challenge for anybody else? Also, I've seen some of the posts about dinner around the forums, and they seem like starvation to me. I feel so full after a plate of spaghetti; how am I supposed to make chicken breast and steamed broccoli satisfyin?. I really want some help in this area, and would like to hear from all who've transitioned from bad eating habits like mine to more healthy ones. How long did it take? How do you keep the FLAVA! I have a family that unfortunately is not "with me" in the fitness quest, and if I don't prepare the most satisfying meals, I get a bunch of sad faces. Please advise. Thanks.
