Just did Build 1 today (had to wait a week because I came down with a bad cold the day after my marathon!) and I really enjoyed it! I think all of the lukewarm/negative reviews definitely lowered my expectations LOL. But it was no less enjoyable for me than RCR or the Bikini Body workouts, and I...

Thanks, Linda! Btw, I did a little write-up of my marathon weekend here: http://bit.ly/E5FrK

Aww, thank you, Clare! That's very kind :).

Clare: I raised $2800, which was $520 above the minimum I needed to raise :). People are incredibly generous, even in a tough economy. I was floored.

Hi Janie, I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL :(. My grandmother died of lung cancer when I was 4 (by then it had spread to her bones and the pain was excruciating). It's my way of honoring her as well, along with way too many of my family members who've been affected by cancer (great uncle...

Fit Mommy: I'm not kidding, ice baths are the secret to recovery. I stand before you (well I'm actually sitting :p) with NO SORENESS whatsoever, only 3 days after running 26.2 miles. I'm walking up and down stairs with no problem, my sore hip from the other day is now back to 100%, and if I...

Congrats, everyone!! Hope your recovery is going well!! :) Remember: ice baths, ice baths, ice baths!!

Hi everyone, Thank you soooo much for sending me your good thoughts on Sunday! It worked! We had great weather and it was a fantastic run. I fell short of my goal to get 5:30, which was a bit disappointing, but I did finish in under 6 hours and had a great time. At the end of the day, it's...

Thanks for the weather update, Wendy Marie! Whew, so glad to hear we probably won't get rain!

Karen: I don't know how I missed your note! Good luck on Sat!!!! You'll do awesome, I'm sure :).

Wendy Marie: our hotel is a quarter mile away from the start, so we'll be walking to the start line...

Thanks, Kathryn! Sending you good weather vibes :). I think they're forecasting rain in Victoria for our marathon, but I'm hoping that doesn't happen!

Wendy Marie: so cool! I am from Northern CA, so I'll be traveling to Victoria especially for this race. I'm very excited, since it's my first time in Victoria--I've heard great things :). My friends and I will be flying in tomorrow and doing "high tea" at the Empress Hotel. I'll let you know...

Thank you guys!! :) And good luck to you, too, Shana Banana and Carole!

I've discovered that my body responds best to circuit training with moderate weights, so I'm sticking to Valerie Waters' workouts and kettlebells for the time being.

Hey fellow Cathe-ites, Might I ask for your good vibes this coming Sunday? I will be running The Royal Victoria Marathon in Victoria, Canada, my third marathon in 12 months, gulp!! It'll be my last one for a while (funny, I said that after #1 AND #2 :p), so I want to savor it. After this...

kali1: I ended up selling STS on eBay since I knew I was probably not going to do that rotation again. It was really, really good, but just not for me in terms of enjoyment factor. I figure if I have to something consistently for results, I'd better enjoy it enough to do it over and over again...

I think both programs are going to be great, but to lean out, your focus will need to be on making sure your eating is clean. When it comes to exercise, I think it's just best to do what you most enjoy, because as long as your eating is relatively clean, you'll still be lean. I had STS, but...

Darn, I missed the live stream because I was still at work... Would have loved to have seen the clip! Is it on the site somewhere? Looks like the archive is of her last live stream, when I Want My Bikini Body 2.0 was released...

The thing I also love about Val is that she reminds you that unless your eating is clean, you won't get the results you really want to get, no matter what your workouts. She definitely takes the holistic approach to fitness, which reassures me that she knows it's not just about her workouts.
