    After kidney donation?

    I'm not answering your question, just wanted to tell you how AWESOME it is that you donated a kidney to your brother!! I have been a dialysis nurse for 11 years and I don't know if your brother ever had to do dialysis, but I see every day how hard it is on my patients, especially the younger...

    Eating on the night shift

    I am a nurse who works a night shift and I don't know what to eat! I try to eat a late dinner, usually around 8 or 9, but I get really hungry the rest of the night. I've been eating pretty good snacks- lots of granola bars and hot chocolate, but I'm gaining weight. I think I need more protein...

    treat meal/day

    I'm trying to phase out my cheat day which usually becomes a cheat weekend! I actually have a food hangover I eat so much when I cheat. I tell myself if I'm "good" all week I should be able to reward myself on the weekends. I started this habit when Body For Life came out years ago and he...

    Birth Control & Lifting

    I thought this myself and got an IUD and kept it for 5 years. I never saw any noticable changes in my weight or belly. I just got back on the pill 5 months ago and still look and weigh the same!

    frustation over clueless family members!

    My DH is NOT supportive of my exercise and fitness goals. He thinks it's silly and discourages me constantly. You don't know how lucky you all are to at least have a spouse who is supportive. I could care less what anyone else thinks. I have to live with this man!

    Eating and the night shift

    I just started working the night shift (4pm-4am) and am having a hard time with scheduling my meals. I seem to be eating the same as always during the day and now add more food all during the night!. I try to eat dinner as late as I can at work, but still get hungry the rest of the night and...

    Which of these Cathe dvds do you prefer?

    MIC is my all time favorite of Cathe cardio. It never fails to wear me out!! I also love rhythmic step after I learned all the steps.

    Changes in fitness regimine since joining Cathe??

    I don't feel I look any more muscular (hopefully others can tell a difference though), I know I'm stronger. I did GS chest and tris this week and I can now use 12, 15, and 20 lb dumbells where I started at 8, 10 and 12 lbs when I started for chest presses. That was really exciting to me! I do...

    obsession with fitness

    I don't think anyone can enjoy exercise like we all seem to do unless you ARE a little obsessed with it. Otherwise you wouldn't want to do it. I don't know many people at all who even exercise at all.

    rhythmic step/Imax 1/MIC

    I think MIC, IMAX 1 and rhythmic step are the hardest cardio Cathe has. I just rediscovered them this week and I love them. I can finish all her other DVD's easily, but these really do me in! Especially MIC. It is over an hour of non stop cardio-first floor then step. They are awesome!

    JEALOUSY

    I truly never even thought about being an inspiration to her (duh), but it really has motivated me to kick my butt back in gear, especially since we've invited her and her DH and 3 kids to come over for a cookout and to swim in a couple of weeks (bikinis!).And yes, I'll tell her how great she...

    JEALOUSY

    My DH's best friend and his wife have never worked out much and have always commented on and admired my dedication to my workouts. The wife always states how she wishes she had my abs and admires how strong I am. (Of coarse I love that). Well, the past month or so due to changing jobs, a...

    Have you seen "I am Legend" SPOILER

    RE: Have you seen I am a nurse and although I care about my patients, I have developed a "tolerance" to their pain and it does not affect me as much anymore(DH thinks I'm horrible) but it is truly a coping mechanism. But show me a hurt animal and I go to pieces. They keep showing the beautiful...

    will it matter in the end????

    I know what you mean. My aunt is really chubby and is one of the happiest and most cheerful people I know. She refuses to exercise (I have offered to be her "personal trainer") but she's not interested and she eats terribly. I LOVE to exercise and look forward to it 5-6 days a week, but I have...

I recently fell off my step doing a Cathe tape and landed on my butt on a weight I got a huge black bruise right in the middle of my butt crack! You could even see it through my underwear.It was funny after the...
