I know we have a lot of Mommies to 4 legged children out there.....I am a mommy to 3 Labs myself. We have been thinking of adding to our doggie family to include a boxer puppy who needs a new home. I have only owned Labs(which I love), and while I have done a bit of reading about boxers, I was...

It has been forever plus a couple months since I have visited here....but I so need some help from my Cathe pals. I broke my ankle last fall and have been having trouble getting back into the whole workout lifestyle, and in the meantime I have gained almost 10 pounds(insert big sigh here). The...

Okay, I know I have said this before, but man oh man, I am sooooo hopelessly hooked on the Itrain, IClimb workouts. I downloaded #5 the other day and I think it is the best one yet! This one is a toughie...lots of resistance and tons of fun. I am so glad I finally found a kind of cardio I...

If you are a Sean O'Malley fan: The coach is having a sale on all his cds.....you have to buy 5, but you get the total at 50% off. I just got his newsletter in my email. Just thought I would let you all know!! Donna

I am always on the lookout for good things to read, and the last great book I read was recommended by Sparrow....."Snow Flower and the Secret Fan"....thanks so much Sparrow, it was one of those books I didn't want to finish because I did not want to leave "my friends". I just finished another...

Well, it looks Nordstrom will not be following the other major department stores and ditching the clothes for us wee folk. I got an email from them today highlighting new summer dresses in PETITE, and directing you to visit their "Petite Focus" department. Kinda interesting that showing up the...

And I do not mean to insult anyone with that word....because that is what I will be if I get up the guts to do this.....this being: going back to school. Here's the scoop: I went to culinary school MANY years ago, ended up with an Associate of Science degree in Hotel/Rest. Food and Bev...

Did you end up hiking this past weekend?? Where did you end up going?? Getting hot out there, isn't it?? Dh went with his buddies this weekend, and came home a bit earlier than usual, cause the heat was a little much for them. I hope to get to go at least one more time before the true 100's...

you have got to try iTrain!!!! I downloaded a couple workouts last night and tried iCLIMB in the elliptical today and it was probably the best workout I have gotten in a long time. The best part was that it was super fun, Keith has an awesome coaching voice and the music was perfect. I know...

for those of you who like it loud and hard. Has anyone else caught the new Korn single?? Heard it on the radio today and thought it would make a great lifting song, or a great uphill ride on the spin bike. Kinda funny that is how I hear music now....can I use it at the gym?? Also stumbled...

for suggesting "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" a couple of weeks ago to whoever was looking for a book club suggestion. I finished it yesterday(it only took me 3 days to read...it was that good)and I that is all I have been talking about to anyone who will listen. Thanks again, Donna

Well, okay, not so much a puppy, but he needs a prayer or two. About a month ago he atarted coughing, a dry, nasty cough. His vet thought kennel cough, but after a round on antibiotics he did not get better, just worse. Then she thought it was Valley fever, well he tested neagative for that...

Hey all! I met with the my CN last week and learned quite a bit about myself and a lot about food. She spent over and hour with me dicussing all the issues I have been having about my recent weight gain(of about 9 pounds over this past summer. The first really enlightening thing I discovered...

with my diet!! Although I may need help in other areas, I'm taking one step at a time. I made an appointment with the certified nutritionist that writes the monthy newsletter for my gym. Ever since my move to AZ my eating has been all over the place...good, bad, not so bad, horrible and I am...

Is this doable?? I really want to walk a half marathon race in March....do I have enough time to train??? Can I train most of my time on the treadmill?? Or is outside road time a neccesity?? I have been kicking the idea of marathon walking for a while and I just found this half marathon...

was really lame, as was the guy that did it. I expected something far different, but since the gym offers personal training for an additional cost, I guess what he did is all I am gonna get for free. What did he do? Calculated my body fat using a little hand held gizmo, using my height...

Did I even spell that right?? Anyway, got up my nerve and joined a gym near my house, and tomorrow I am supposed to meet with one of their PTs for a "fitness assesment". For all you trainers: What is he going to make me do??? What should I be ready for?? Thanks, have a great day!! Donna

I think I need a little advice... I have been working out with Cathe (and you guys!!)for about 3 years now and I love it. But we have moved to a much smaller house in Arizona. I simply do not have the great workout space I was spoiled with before. In order to have any workout space at all I...
