So true! Our "youngest" pup, Samson is our secondary alarm ;-) He's about a year and a half and he likes to wake up super early. He screeches, so when he is ready to get out of his crate, believe me, I'm up, I'm up! it really helps. And I'm sooo not, nor have ever been, a morning person. But I was constantly getting out of…

LOL! SO very true ;-) Just turned 37 myself.

Just turned 37 and I'm constantly being told I don't look my age. I think the secret is being young at heart ;-) Have you ever noticed that the people who take themselves and everything super seriously look so OLD? Married to a younger man for just over a year but no kids yet. Can DEFINITELY relate to the life experience…

I've been overweight my whole life. In high school, it would take me about 20 minutes to walk (very rarely did I jog) a mile. So I feel you there. I was proud when I hit my first 12 mile and that took work. Intervals are your friend! When I started, I did this interval program where I'd walk for 4 minutes/ lightly jog for…

My hubby & I love that song and it's my ringtone for him ;-) I'm 36! Right now I can't get "Call Me Maybe" out of my head...so catchy!

I was telling my husband that when she was talking and had her hair down she looked so old. but she does look fantastic! I didn't like her in the beginning but once she was separated from Conda, I started to like her & her competitive spirit. She is so buff! I can't stand Conda and am so disappointed she is in the…

you rock! best of luck to you ;-)

I also meant to say that they stayed put the entire time...they didn't slip, slide, or budge at all and I even pulled on the cord a few times. I'm impressed!

Just so y'all know, Holly is a most excellent friend to have ;-)

Thank you, my friend, for sharing this with the MFP community. It was MFP that brought Lisalynn and I together as real life friends. We were just talking about that last night...it's funny how life can bring people together. I heard about MFP from a friend who used it to find out the calories in a piece of cheesecake. She…

First of all, GREAT topic ;-) I ran my first half marathon back in March, the Dallas Rock N Roll. I then signed up for my second half, the San Antonio RnR in November....AND I also signed up for a third, the 1st ever, Tinker Bell Half Marathon at Disney Land at the end of January. My mom will run the half with me and my…

So awesome, girl! So proud of you and truly honored to have you as an MFP friend ;-)

I'm 35 and people are constantly telling me I look like I'm in my early to mid 20s.... Some guy even told me the other day that I looked 27 MAX.... ;-) I am blessed with great genes AND I started using anti aging moisturizers in my late 20s...PREVENTION is key....I also don't smoke, I use sunscreen and I don't…

My boyfriend showed me that clip....very sweet and touching...Of course I'm definitely a dog lover and he's more of a cat person so he didn't like it when I told him, "You see???? Dogs ARE better companions and MORE loyal."

LOL! Amen ;-)

Holy crap! Nigella Lawson is 51? She looks beautiful, radiant, curvy, and HEALTHY!!!! We should all be so lucky ;-)

I don't wear the typical runner's shorts because of my thighs...However, I found a pair of New Balannce Lightning Dry shorts that hit just above the knee & have 2 normal pockets. I don't carry anything in the pockets though because I have my armband for my ipod and either my Nathan hydration belt for my keys or my ironman…

I really really do appreciate all the responese and suggestions! Thank you all so much for your time and ideas. Just as an FYI...for any bargain shoppers, check out Marshall's and TJ Maxx... I bought some New Balance lightning dry shirts for $9.99 and also a pair of lightning dry running shorts for around $12 or $14. And,…

[/quote] For a great, light hat try the Nike lightweight hat, it is awesome and wicks away moisture as well. [/quote] YES!! I have 2 and I love them....I have one I use for outside and one for the gym.

Thanks so much to everyone that has replied. Keep the suggestions coming! ;-)

Getting ready to "officially" start training for my 2nd half marathon (San Antonio Rock N Roll) on 11/13/11. My first half was the Dallas RNR on March 27th. I am *hoping* to do the Tinker Bell 1/2 Marathon at Disneyland at the end on January with my mom and sister. I say hopefully because my sister has been having some…

....."is HALF the battle."!!! LOL! We STILL say that to each other in my family ;-)

Best thing EVER! I remember getting up at 6 on Saturdays to watch cartoons until like 10....Those cartoons were awesome, I kinda feel sorry for all the kids that will never experience that...it's just NOT the same nowadays ;-(

I have a digital scale from Walmart as well and it was $20. I *love* it! I love the fact that you can choose your measurements (like oz, grams, etc) and it has a "TARE" function....this is very useful. The tare function is when you can put your plate or bowl or whatever on the scale and then have it reset to zero so you…

I soooo need to check World Market because I am dying to try the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl ;-) I found Peanut Butter & Co at both Walmart & Super Target. It's funny though, my Walmart only sells the Dark Chocolate Dream and Bee's Knees & Super Target only sells the White Chocolate Wonderful & the Dark Chocolate as well. I have…

I have to agree! And this girlie was the one that got me HOOKED on Peanut Butter & Co ;-) I started with the White Chocolate Wonderful and now I *love* the Bee's Knees ---try it with a Fuji apple --- your taste buds will thank me ;-P I tried the Marantha and was NOT impressed....bleh!

I'm also a Greek yogurt convert :-) At first, I made the horrible mistake of trying the Yoplait Greek yogurt because Yoplait is such a popular brand I loved all their other yogurts. BLEH! I took a bite and almost gagged! I tried another bite and then threw it away. I was convinced all the Greek yogurt lovers were out of…

Way to go! That is so awesome...Congrats on your success.

Several months ago, I have agreed to run a relay race with a friend. My "leg" was 5 miles...Never jogged for more than 3 miles so I began to train for it. I was at the gym and decided to see how long it would take me to do 5 miles... My "comfy" pace at the time was a 12 minute mile (now I'm a tad over the 11 minute mile…

You had me at "margarita flavor" :-) Need to check that out! Getting ready to start preparing for my second half!
