My healthy lifestyle journey began in March of 2008. This is when I finally realized that the freshman 25 and the 30+ pregnancy pounds I gained were not coming off. Being a full-time working mom it was hard finding the time and energy to get away to the gym to attend classes. I needed something I could do at home and not get bored with.
I did not start my journey with Cathe but I am SO glad that I did find out about her. I started working out with another fitness program and was on their website forum reading all the talk about how great and challenging Cathe’s workouts are. I hate to admit it but I had never heard of Cathe or Cathlete. I was starting to get bored with the workouts I was currently doing and was looking for something to increase my fitness level. So one morning I decided to watch FitTV and see what all the Cathe talk was about. As soon as I saw Cathe’s Body Blast Supersets workout I knew what all the Cathe talk was about. You could say I had my A- HA Cathe moment. I knew from that moment on that Cathe’s workouts were going to take me to my next fitness level and yes, I was right. Cathe’s workout are fun, challenging and who could ever get bored with all the Cathe workouts you can choose from. Cathe is and will always be my best at home personal trainer.
Since starting my healthy lifestyle journey I have lost 57 lbs and I am almost at my goal. I will be turned 42 this year and I am in better shape and health
then I was in my 20’s. I love when people ask me “So what diet are you on?” and I just tell them I do not diet, they don’t work. I just live a healthy lifestyle and anyone can do it. I had someone tell me that “I bet you will be sorry that you got rid of all you size 16 clothes”. I told her I would NEVER go back to a size 16 again; I have found what I need for life, I am a CATHLETE.
I am so looking forward to my next Cathe journey. I will be starting STS in a couple weeks. I cannot wait to see the results. Thank you Cathe for being such an inspiration and giving us all such great workouts. Congratulations on being inducted into The National Fitness Hall of Fame. You definitely deserve this honor. My family and I look forward to meeting you at the Walt Disney World Road Trip.
I am extremely thankful for my family, health and finding out what is a Cathlete. Last year my bother-in-law past away unexpectedly at the age of 40 and I have come to realize to not stress over the small stuff; that you need to live each day as if it is your last. There are no guarantees that you will have tomorrow.
