    Why does food have such a hold on me???

    Denise, I was laughing while I read your reply, because it was exactly what I was thinking and feeling when I wrote my original post. I don't mind taking a cheat day, but a half a pan of brownies, chips, m&m's, (the list goes on) in one day is so exsessive!! I feel awful while I'n eating...

    Eating and Exercise

    Why does food have such a hold on me???

    I just started a 12 week challenge to get a start on the body I've always wanted, and never thought I could ever have. I knew I would have to do things differently than ever before to get the results I've never seen before. I've seen the before and after pictures on here, and that's what I...

    Can I use weights on consecutive days?

    I am wondering if I can use weights on consexutive days even if it's the same body part? Here's what I mean. (keep in mind I'm fairly new to Cathe.) I do a 6 day split, (I think that's the right terminology?? I'm still learning.) M,W,F I do a total body weight workout like Cathe's Muscle Max...

    whey protein drinks vs. eating real food?

    Newbie here again, I am new to the whole concept of a protein drink, but why do I want to drink my protein as opposed to eating it? I know body builders typically drink them, but why not just eat the protein? If I am trying to eat clean/healthy wouldn't I want it in it's most natural state? I...

    cardio minutes

    I'm a newbie, but when you all say 60 min. or 30 mins. cardio, do you include the warm up and cool down/stretch in that number? If I do 45 minute workout, I really only feel like I did 30 min. because 15 minutes of it is warm up and cool down. So is that considered as 30 min. or 45 min. cardio...

    What's better cardio everyday or not?

    I don't know much about this yet, but common sence tells me that without warming up a bit, you could risk injury, which would really slow you down from your goals. Am I right?

    What's better cardio everyday or not?

    kariev, thank you so much!! I think I will try the first rotation you suggested first, and then after a month or so try another one you suggested. It's hard being new, there's so much info, I either can't find it, or don't know how. This gives me a great place to start!! I appreciate your...
