I haven't had much time for lurking, much less posting, here for a couple months. I'm glad that I found some time today, because this is a question that haunts me at times. While I could probably make a long list of single decisions that changed my life in a way I wish it hadn't, but there...

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, Marie! I'm adding OCS to my Wish List. I've been using a rather small one that I got at a thrift store for $5 for the past year or so, and my dislike for it is growing stronger and stronger. ;) I noticed in the Fitness Wholesale catalog (I finally bit...

I have decided to order Cathe's new beg/int step and stability ball strength DVD. I hemmed and hawed a bit because I didn't want to admit to myself that I'm just not ready for her more advanced workouts. You all motivate and challenge me so much that I want to push myself...but I realize that I...

Good morning! :) I read over Cathe's August 2005 rotation, and my head is still spinning. LOL NO way am I up to that level--- yet. ;) I'm interested to hear how it goes from you brave souls who accept the Boot Camp Challenge. Rock on!! }( I had SO much fun doing HSC-int. yesterday. I...

Howdy fellow challengers! :) As I mentioned earlier in the Daily Check In, I haven't been online much this past week. I've been kid sitting this past week (and will next week, too) on top of preparing meals for 2 clients. I'd have more time if the kid sitting job wasn't in the city- 1.5 hours...

Hello from almost long-lost checker-in! :) I haven't been able to get online very much this past week- I've taken on a kid-sitting job on top of my personal chef clients. I love the kids and am having fun with them even though it's "challenged" my energy- and my pet allergies (they have a...

I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is secretive/private about their health and fitness! I have only a small handful of people who I'm close to that I will share a LITTLE information and/or advice once in awhile. I find that I do even that less and less, because alot of people...

Hello fellow challengers! Happy Friday! Good luck this weekend, Shelley! Although, I know that "luck" isn't what it's about, right? ;) Choices and natural consequences are the name of this "game". Why am I using so many " "s?? LOL Anyway, I'm confident in your commitment to this challenge...

Native Cheesehead here, though I live in TN now. I grew up in Racine, just south of Milwaukee. My grandpa still lives (and has for a very long time) in Milwaukee. My family and I visit at least twice a year. Perhaps I'll an extra pocket of time in a future WI visit to meet up with some WI...

Thank you so much, Amy!! You're a terrific team mate! ;) Connie

My reward gift of Cathe's high step is on it's way to me. I can't wait to get it!! My next equipment purchase will be a regular step. I understand (from someone else's post) that The Step company risers will work with a High Step and a regular step. That's terrific! However, I can't seem...

Count me in, Shelley! :) I think I'm getting the hang of this...and dare I say liking life without daily sugar. }( x( :P :9 Connie

Thank you, Becky!! :D I'm glad to meet another Reacher fan! He's such a fascinating character. I wish I would have started at the beginner of the series. It's hard to find used copies...my search continues, though. ;) Connie

Congrats, Dana!! That's amazing- and inspiring!! May every year of your life be filled with health and strength! Connie :D

I wish you a very happy birthday, Cathe! Thank you for creating such incredibly wonderful and effective workouts, I appreciate you every single day. :) Connie
