Hello Friends, Alisha- I am also a severe newbie, and am right there with you. I started doing step on 8/16, and am excited because I like it and have been able to stick to it. I get lost on some of the combinations, like in Rhythmic Step, but I just repeat the combo over until I get it- I...

Sorry Murph, It's a book by Tom Venuto called "Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle" and outlines dietary and exercise changes to maintain lean body mass while losing body fat, Lisa

Hi Nat, Whoa, glad I don't have to write a handbook! I think I was just obsessed with the band- I've obviously never done that workout before. This is what I've been eating: 1) spinach omelette with eggbeaters and coffee with 1/2 c vanilla soymilk, 2) flaxseed cereal with 1 scoop of protein...

Hello Everyone, How is everyone doing? Julie - I have not measured my body fat yet- I ordered some calipers, and today, I found out that we have a tannita scale at work, so I'll have to figure out a way to surreptitiously use it so I can compare it with my home measurements. This AM, I...

Hi Julie, It's under "Diet and Nutrition", Cathletic Supporters, Glad you're back! Lisa

Bethany, I just read your post about how you get hypoglycemic if you don't eat sugar- if your blood sugar truly drops below 60-70 mg/dL if you don't eat, that is not normal. Your body should be able to use glycogen stores from your liver to maintain a normal blood glucose when you don't eat...

Hi Nat, Good job for doing your run. No running during daylight hours here because it is stinking hot and humid (>100 degrees). I like the idea of the zigzag thing too, but I was a little overwhelmed with the logistics of counting it all out, so I've just done the standard 1500 calorie 50%...

Good Morning Everyone! I hope everyone slept well- I know I did, there's nothing like a Sunday morning sleep-in (til 6:30 ;)). Hi Rapidbreath, nice to hear from you again, I too have more trouble with the food rather than the workouts (anymore anyway.) As far as food goes I do the...

Anyone insterested in doing this with us, come post on "Cathletic Supporters"! We'll share recipes, We'll laugh We'll cry And we'll lose fat! Cheers, Lisa

Hello All, I posted on the diet and nutrition thread FYI in case anyone wants to go over there. We are starting a BFFM thing over there, come join us! Murph, this means you too! Lisa

Good Morning Cathletic Supporters! I thought it would be nice to move over to nutrition section because that's harder for me to deal with than the working out, what do others think? Today is going to be a great day! I started reading BFFM, have officially been working out since 8/16...

Hello Cath. Supp.s - I hope everyone is doing well. Where is everyone? Murph? Everyone said "hello" and went away! I did pyramid upper body today, had to stop half way through the ab part at the end because I was late for work, but I got through it pretty well, using 5, 10, and 12 lb...

Hello All, Hope today brought you lots of sweat from working out! I ran this AM, and it was wonderful because it was about 70 degrees (at 5AM), and there was a breeze. I only ran 30 minutes this AM, but I have margin for improvement :). Murph, How are the workouts going? Inquiring minds...

Hello All, MIA would have applied to me, if I was presumptuous enough to think that it did :). I have been swamped with work and am trying to summon coping skills so I can work out, plan healthy meals, etc. I've been able to do it for the past two and 3/4 days, it's a start, though. I bought...

Hello All, Murph- I'm glad the smiley brightened your day! Good for you for working out. Nat- Did you get my e-mail about BFFM? I did low impact circuit today- the first 40 minutes then I had to go to work. I ate squeaky clean today, so I can be happy about that. I am having a hard time...

Hi Alisha, In a perfect world, I would do another workout, but really I would check the workout box and move on. We have started a new thread under "Cathletic Supporters" where we check in with each other every day, and I noticed a new post on our old thread- come join us and be a Cathletic...

Hey guys, I'm glad you had a good weekend. We are mere mortals and therefore are required to have some sort of pizza-like substance at least once a week. We'll just have to not eat it for the other 34 meals! Nat, that is absolutely amazing that you were able to work out the whole weekend-...

Good morning Smileyville! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am starting my new rotation today as well as my "life change"! It sounds like I am hitting menopause- I will have to come up with a new name for it :). August, thanks for the candid review of BFFM- I went ahead and bought it...

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I missed posting here! I had a good weekend, although my eating sucked. I walked on the beach for about 3 miles each day, though. Today my rotation starts- I did RS this AM, but since I went to bed late and woke up so early, I...

Hello Everyone- I just typed a big long post, and then pressed some key and erased the whole thing! Rats! Anyway, Nat, good job for getting Boot Camp done this AM- it's in my rotation, but I haven't done it yet- in fact, I ordered it and it hasn't arrived yet. I feel absolutely ravenous when...
