While Doing My Morning Workout With Cathe.....

[cher54]

I was doing Cathe's Live Cross Train Legs today and after one of Cathe's comments, I thought, "God, I love this woman!" Cathe has been with me through an eating disorder, a pain pill addiction, a divorce, and the suicide of my dear husband (who, btw, prided himself on being a devout Cathlete) I remember during some very dark years, Cathe may have been my only exposure to any positive energy for weeks on end. My life has totally turned around and I consider myself blessed beyond all measure, being much stronger for having gone through the challenges in my life. Happy Friday, my fellow Cathletes! We are all very fortunate to have such an inspiring role model! Thank you, Cathe!!!

I was just thinking the same thing this morning about Cathe. She really had inspired, motivated, educated, and challenged everyone that follows her. I'm sure she has no idea the impact she has had on some of us. Cher54, you're an insperation as well. How anyone can go through all you've been through and stay so positive. Happy Friday indeed!!

Cathe has given many of us a healthy outlet and activity. Personally I have started a workout in a foul mood, tired or in tears......by the end I feel like a warrior, simply because Cathe said I'm a warrior! Women upholding women. I love it! Kudos to you Cher54 for getting through everything and staying positive. It's easy to sink into a hole and allow defeat to overwhelm you but it takes much more courage to climb out and stand tall! Love to all and to Cathe! Peg

yes, workouts are a perfect escape. A refuge from all the rubbish life throws at us, and Cathe, and everyone on these forums, perfect companions during the escape.

This - over and over. These forums are great company and Cathe is a fearless leader!

Thank you for sharing all of that with us, Cher. I was thinking almost the same thing yesterday, when I was doing the exact same workout LOL! Was it after the double shot of the pulsing lunges, when she asked if we're hating her yet? Cathe's been in my life since 1998, and been my joy and inspiration in the dark spots so many times. I hope she has someone in her own life that inspires her as much as she inspires us.

Love your post, Fiddle Fit. Cathe has been in my life since 2000. Sounds like we have a lot in common! Yes, beautiful sentiment about hoping Cathe has a sweet inspiration in her life Thanks for sharing

Sorry I didn't see this post early to respond.

Cher54 - You should be very proud of yourself for sticking with Cathe through everything you have gone through. Shows how determined and strong you really are.

I agree with everything that was said on this post. I too, find Cathe truly motivating and inspiring. I can't imagine what it feels like knowing that so many people find you so motivating and inspiring and all the other awesome things that are said about Cathe. I have had plenty of days where I was tired and didn't feel like working out and once I put in a Cathe DVD and got going, I'm so glad that I did because I always feel much better afterwards thanks to Cathe's motivation.

On the comment that FiddleFit made about "hoping she has someone in her own life that inspires her as much as she inspires us", I wonder if in a way all of us inspire her and we may not even know it. I say that because the beginning of May I started teaching two exercises classes and I found that the people in my class inspired and motivated me. Hearing from them that it was a good workout. Heck I even got a kick out two people in my class tell me they are going to hate me tomorrow because they know they are going to feel the workout.

Bottom line is Cathe ROCKS and she has made all of us Cathletes warriors!!!
