I did it last year when they still held it in San Jose (they canceled it this year :() and it was a lot of fun. There were tons of people, since this was his hometown, but it was well-organized. Not sure if that'll be the case there, but if the same people are running it, it should be a blast...

Go Melanie!!! Keep us posted :). I did run/walk for mine. I haven't gone further than 6 miles without doing the run/walk yet--maybe someday, or maybe never, I'm ok with it LOL. Just as long as my time keeps improving, I'll be happy!

Very true, Julie :). I have no designs on trying to keep up with others (although I will confess that when I finally decided to do my first marathon, it was because I wanted to beat Katie Holmes' time at the NYC Marathon--unfortunately, I haven't done it yet :p). But I do want to keep competing...

You all rock--thank you so much for the kind words!! :)

Hello fellow Cathletes!! I did my 11th half marathon today and I set a new personal record, woohoo!! 2:32:08 :) I know that's not very impressive compared to the times that some of y'all have been able to get, but I'm not a very fast runner, so for me, this is a biggie LOL. Just wanted...

Afreet described it perfectly, so I'll just say that I too have it and love it! It's short, but intense, and boy does it get the job done!

Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions, but I just wanted to offer my support and also tell you that you're not alone! I could have written this post, that's for sure. I think at this point, I'm just resigned to the fact that my scale's going to do whatever it's going to do and it's kind...

And I live off 280, so it's way more convenient for me to take 280 :). Thanks so much for the recap!! I can't wait to schedule mine! How far in advance did you have to book? I should have scheduled it for today, since I have the day off, hmm... I'm leaving for a 10-day vacation in Italy...

Thanks for posting this! Cathe looks amazing as always :)

I just saw that Silk started making almond milk--I picked up a carton to give it a taste :). It doesn't have too much sugar (7 grams per cup), so I feel a little better getting this vs. the unsweetened kind that Almond Breeze has (which I wasn't crazy about). Haven't had it yet, but can't...

Apparently they are tough negotiators... I went to a trade show once and I sampled some food from a vendor. I told them they should try to get into TJ's, and the lady told me that they've tried, but TJ's asked them to lower the prices and she said they couldn't afford to do so, so TJ's couldn't...

I thought I was the only one who had that as a dealbreaker too ;). I love my TJ's!!

I personally really love the two step workouts on this DVD. I try to do them when I can, even though most of my cardio is running. The choreography was very tricky for me to learn at first (because I'm NOT very coordinated LOL), but once I did, it just became so much fun. I think I may pull it...

Jodelle: I should mention that when I say I'm avoiding sugar, I just mean the kind that's added to foods LOL. I'm not avoiding the natural sugars in dairy, fruits, and veggies--those are my lifelines right now! I also did add a teaspoon of sucanat to my oatmeal this morning, but other than that...

I had one that grew to be the size of a football--without me ever knowing it. Crazy, huh? I didn't have any symptoms. No painful periods, no abdominal pain, nothing. The only thing that was symptomatic (but that I didn't think to attribute to a cyst) was that I had to go to the bathroom every...

Funny you mention sugar, because sweets are my big downfall, and in the last 2 days, I've made a conscious effort to really avoid added sugar--I'm making sure all the foods I have (and the ingredients I make them with) have minimal sugar and I'm steering clear of my "trigger" foods: cakes and...

Aveggiegirl and gettingfitmom: I'm with ya, I do think scales are evil LOL! Now if my jeans weren't somewhat agreeing with my scale, I'd let it go, but now even they're starting to get tight, so I know I've definitely got to make some tweaks here...

Janis: can't wait to hear how it goes! I'm going to be making an appointment with them soon as well. Can't believe how reasonable the price is, and Redwood City's not too far from me (I'm in the South Bay). Katie: we'll figure it out together! I'm glad to know I'm not alone, though I'm sorry...

All true things, ladies, and thank you for the reminders! I think I just needed to hear it from people other than myself LOL.

... I can't help it, that number on the scale just really gets to me sometimes :(. I truly do believe that my weight is just a number and it's more important to be healthy and track how I feel, how my clothes fit, etc. but all that said, when the number on that *&^%ing scale keeps creeping up...
