After the interview, follow-up is huge. Remember the names of the people you met (like the receptionist, your interviewer, etc.) mail them each a handwritten thank you note when you get home. It'll bring your name back up to the top of the pile. I had my first interview in 15 years in 2005...

Wow, Therese, great job on eating yoghurt. Those munchies are hard to work through! This is pretty much what I eat every day: B: 1/2c oatmeal, 4 oz turkey sausage, coffee with 1/4c soy milk, protein & fiber drink S: protein & fiber drink L: Zone bar, protein & fiber drink (I...

I started to post this morning, but my computer had a virus - apparently I got rid of it. Or it's lying in wait, waiting for my Cathe username and password - ha! Today was great, down 2.5 lbs! I know it's just the swelling going away, but I'll take it! My dr said no lifting more than 25#...

Hi everyone! Gosh, you all are working out so hard - I'm going to have to work harder on the food end of it. I'm 4 days post-op, so yesterday I did LIC on the 4", very modified, no blasts, and no weights above 5#. My heart and lungs were dying to kick it up, but my tummy said nope. No...

I'm in, too! Thanks for starting this challenge! I have 16 pounds to lose, although 10 would be heaven. I'm 5'11" .... it seems like I have to lose more to have it show. I want to disclose that I just had surgery on Thursday (umbillical hernia) - my abdomen is pretty swollen and my...

When we got our Border Collie, the owner gave her to us because we had a 6' fence and wall. We ended up having to get an Invisible Fence because Sweetie would jump to the top of the wall or fence, balance, and jump down to the other side! She's a very social dog who likes to visit. :)...

That's awesome! I'm so glad you are able to work with the PF! What a blessing you are to donate your locks ... someone is going to be so lucky.

Go Hokies! What a great story, Chris! My roommate and I were in the weightlifting club at Tech one year .... what a fun memory you just stirred up.

I forgot to add that not only have the right athletic shoes/inserts is crucial, but making sure the shoes you wear the remaining 10-15 hours of the day makes a HUGE difference. I took all my shoes in to a shoe store that corrects foot issues and they put a variety of foam inserts or pads in my...

Just a note that I have Kaiser, too and the dr I had a few years ago happened to be the team dr for the Air Force Academy football team and the Colorado College hockey team. I think you can easily ask for a referral to a sports med specialist from your general md and it should be covered by...

On a related note ... My purse is not leather, so when I go to the grocery store I swipe the bottom of it with one of those Clorox wipes at the same time I wipe the handle of the shopping cart.

I think Dave Ramsey is a godsend! You could start with his book, "The Total Money Makeover" but I think his workshops are the best way to really get it done. There is a place on his website where you enter your zip code and find the closest "Financial Peace" classes nearest you. If you...

Try adding some extra protein - that helps with cravings. I also heard recently, "We crave what we eat." So the more junk food you eat, the more you crave it. This is certainly true for me!

For us western folk, something similar to the road trip would be great .... since it's harder for us to travel your way. I'm in Colorado Springs, and would love to see Denver on your map. Oh heck, treat yourself .... make it Aspen or Vail!

Shoes are probably the most important equipment you buy, in terms of preventing injury. You should find out what type of foot you have .... do you have high arches, overpronate, etc. A good running store can analyze your foot; also, I'm sure there are internet sites that can give you a good...

Ditto the "It's Not the Stork" book. DH & I took turns reading it to our girls when they were about 4 and 5. It's very matter-of-fact, all cartoon-like pictures, with a little humor thrown in. It covers everything, so it's a lot to digest. Unfortunately we haven't been very good about...

No, but the title alone looks like it's worth the read. Although in my case, the more appropriate name would be, "You'd Think I'd Die If I Didn't Eat Another Cookie." Or something like that.

Hi! I ordered the Pavi GroupX tiles to go over cement, but really needed something underneath. I read all of the Plyo floor threads, and it was recommended to use puzzle mats. For a 12'x17' area, even these were going to be expensive from Wal-Mart or Target. Sears is advertising a garage...

I just remember happily putting them to bed early!!! LOL Now that my girls are 8 and 9, I'm sad at how fast the time goes after school! Get home, do homework, eat dinner, play a little, dessert and before you know it, it's bedtime. Once kids are old enough to play games, snuggle with you...

Hi there .... does anyone have this flooring? I'm deciding between several interlocking tile options (Greatmats, etc.) but don't have any real life opinions about this one. The rep assures me it's "fine" for high impact, but IMHO not everyone knows what that is in the world of Cathe. I'm...
