This is the Lenten season and for Lent I gave up all sweets and eating between meals. It is absolutely killing me but my a$$ is loving my commitment. What I've discovered is I really miss my 3:00 protein bar and my nightly sf/ff pudding. It really is amazing how often I think about grabbing...

As for the girls I look for Antonella and Leslie to leave tonight. I think LaKisha is the best and predict her to win the whole thing. A previous poster said she didn't like Simon. I often have the same opinion as Simon. I might phrase it a bit differently than he does but I think he is...

I like Blake, Chris and Rudy?? (the bald guy). I look for Sanjaya, Nick, Brandon and the hispanic looking boy to be the next four guys to leave. They absolutely bore me to death. The girls have very stong, powerful voices. I don't have any favorites amongst the girls yet.

I've often wondered if working out in a group setting (like having a camera crew in front of you) would make me get a few more reps in or jump little higher or whatever, you know what I mean. I've always worked out at home by myself but have always been curious about that. Seems Cathe is...

I've been very much out of my routine for about the past nine months. I'd do well for a few weeks and then BAM, no motivation again and nothing for weeks at a time. Well, I'm finally back into it and let me tell you that a 9 month hiatus wrecks havoc on ones strength and endurance. I started...

I know he goes to church and is a member of his local chapter alumni group and has met some people but not a long term thing. He is extremely outdoorsy. The mountaineer group sounds great. I will suggest that to him. Thanks for the recommendation.

My son has lived in Seattle for 1 year. All through his college years he had one girlfriend off and on. Well, they are off for good and have been since he moved to Seattle. He's been very involved with getting his CPA since he got to Seattle and now with that complete, he's ready to find a...

That was sooooo fun. http://www.elfyourself.com/?userid=2a03239d4a1f6d8f2c39299G06121418 What a great idea!

I don't think the calculator you provided was inaccurate at all. I've checked various sources and all are about the same range. I do like the 220-age as the top of the range. I've not heard that one before but it is the rate at which I usually workout. Thanks for the info.

Using that calculator says I should be working out between 122 and 157. At 157 I'm just beginning to breath hard. I usually work out between 160-180. 180 is my top and I can't stay there for long periods of time but I'm fairly certain I would not see any results between 122 and 157. Do most...

Well that's just great. I'm in the process of moving and made a deliberate change from DISH network to Direct TV so I could get Cathe's workouts. I'm really gonna have to get on Direct TV if they're going to change their programming just as I'm about to enter. Shoot! Tracy

Cathe this is wonderful news. I did the happy dance too. Congratulations and best of luck with your continued recovery. We all look forward to "seeing" you again!

Hi Cathe, You have a beautiful back and I'm trying really hard to get some definition too. When I do dumbell or barbell lat rows I really try to focus so my back does the work but I swear my shoulders won't quit trying to take over, especially on the right side. Is that stupid? If my...

Hi Cathe, I sure hope your healing is progressing. I really love your workouts. They are so hard and give great results. I look forward to your new workouts once you are able to produce them. Good luck to you. Tracy

I submitted the recipe for the Big Breakfast Cookie. The nutritional info is for one big cookie. I've started making the cookie with blueberries instead of raisens and I omit the flour and add one scoop of chocolate protein powder and maybe an extra teaspoon or so applesauce. You could also...

I was sure Kevin was going to get booted last night. I am shocked he's still there. Gedeon is much better though I don't think he would have made it all the way either. Poor Ayla. I've always thought it was strange that they make the losers sing the song that forced them out of the...

I agree that Katharine and Mandisa were the best last night. I also like Kelly. I don't think she'll win because she doesn't have the best voice out of the girls but she is very sweet and has a good enough voice to move along. I look for Kinnik to go and maybe Melissa. For some reason Melissa...

I'll just tell you how I keep track besides using fitday.com to track my actual calories. When I eat carbs like pork & beans, sweet potatoes or whole wheat pasta I try to keep it to 1/2 cup. Pasta will usually be 3/4 cup. I NEVER go back for 2nds. I eat 3-4 ounces of protein - about the size of...

I've been using Whey Protein for a couple of years now and to be honest with you I can't tell that it's done anything for me except add a couple hundred calories to my intake each day. How 'bout you. Does protein powder, or for that matter...protein bars, do anything positive for your body?

I'm fairly new to Cathe but not to exercise. I've been in a funk for the last couple of months so turned from the FIRM to a Cathe rotation which includes the Gym Styles for the next 4 weeks. I've done them all before but not in a long time and not so frequently. I thought I was...
