Hang in there! Don't get down on yourself. The 1st trimester was always a time of overwhelming exhaustion for me. Just listen to your body. It's doing an enormous amount of work, even when you're taking a well-deserved nap. So just be nice to yourself. There's plenty of time in the 2nd...

Congratulations!!!! And welcome to little Hope! I'm so happy for you! Take good care of yourself, your hubby ( Your description of his rightful adoration of Hope is so sweet! :-) ), and that beautiful girl! God bless! Erin

I agree with Wendy and Debbie Of your options, I would go with Step Heat. PM and Step Works are fabulous workouts, but by no stretch of the imagination are they for lighter days! :-) The abs work at the end of Step Heat is a great bonus too! Happy ordering! :-) Erin

Confession time . . . :-) 2 different people this year bought me DVDs for Christmas, not realizing I don't have a DVD player. For the record, these were MOVIES, not exercise. While I knew that keeping the DVDs would be silly, since a DVD player is not in the current budget, a tiny voice was...

Ack! Seventh graders!!! They are the toughest group of all of them! Between the raging hormones and jockeying for position in the school pecking order, ICK! I remember my junior high years with great distaste. :-) Don't let this prey on your mind. Like I said, you could go a full 40 - 42...

I'm not a medical professional but . . . if there is any chance of premature labor, the doctor HAS to be cautious. You COULD walk around just like that for the rest of the pregnancy. I know someone who spent 3 weeks 80% effaced and 4 cm. dialated. OR you could go into premature labor...

Noooooo comparison Cathe's tapes are in a totally different league from the Firm in terms of cardio intensity. Cathe's are much more intense,and the choreography in general is more complex. I don't use the Firm for cardio because it isn't enough of a challenge for me. But if you've never...

Another not great week Things started off so well. Sunday: CIA 9908 with Jennifer. Very fun, very high energy. Felt great! Monday: REST. Mondays are tough school days, so it's usually my planned rest. Tuesday: MIS. It about killed me, but I did it! Wednesday: Happy Hour Hi/LO...

Working past the slump With Daphne's admonition that I may NOT be in a slump since we're working out together on the 23rd, I've been pushing myself to work through it. The tightening jeans were a decent motivator too! :-) Sunday: Warm up and section 1 of CIA 9801 with Christi, followed by...

Love Altoids! Hi, Trevor! I just had to pop in and say how much I LOVE Altoids! My family thinks I'm nuts for popping TWO at once. Just think what they'd say about you popping THREE! :-) Erin

Step Fit is a better next step Step Works, especially in the 1st section, uses a lot of "favorites" from other videos, including Step Fit, so there isn't as much break-down of the moves. It's also a somewhat faster tempo than Step Fit, so it goes pretty fast. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Step...

The checkin that wasn't I had great intentions for this week. I really did! I started out strong with CIA 2K02, the whole thing. Then the complications started. I mentioned last week that my daughter was sick,and the doctors found that it wasn't anything serious, treatable by antibiotics...

DUH! I just figured out that I click on the little envelope by someone's name to get their email address! The instructions are on their way! The best way I know of to get risers is to buy a used step, which you'll need to make a mini topper anyway. :-) But I know that you can also get them...

Sorry it took me so long I've been having a very busy week. One of my kids was sick, and the doctors never did figure out what was wrong. She just got better. I'm not complaining about that. The tests they were running were all for really nasty things, NONE of which she has. :-) The...

RE: Mini-Step I've seen that step cube on the internet, and I believe SusanP said she's actually seen one, and that it was nice and sturdy. So if the price isn't a deterent, I don't see why you couldn't use that. The mini step can basically be as tall as you want it to be from 4" ( the mini...

Mini step topper Unfortunately the mini step topper used in Cathe's vidoes isn't available retail. Cathe and crew made theirs out of the club sized Step Co. steps. If you're interested, several of us have made these as well, and I would be happy to send you pics and instructions on how to...

Some ideas Yep, it's sad that garage sale season is past, but all is not lost! :-) A few places you can check are: 1.) Second hand and consignment stores. There are second hand sporting goods places like Play It Again Sports, but I have also seen them just at regular consignment stores and...

Don't worry about the weight gain! As long as you're eating right and being active, 25 lbs is just exactly what your body needs to have gained at this point. It knows what it needs. As long as half of that weight isn't snickers and ice cream, you're just fine! :-) It will come off again...
