I love you Cheescake Factory!!!

The picture says it all! I was very excited to find this while on a date at the Cheesecake Factory last night (too bad not as excited about the date)! They even served it with Spenda whipped cream and a little side dish of strawberries....yummy! I am a little worried, however, because I just discovered that most of the cake is sugar alcohol, which isn't exactly sugar free...although my BG was less than 115 two-hours post, so maybe it's ok.

New Year, New Goals...How about a Marathon?

I've been contemplating trying to run a marathon for sometime, and now seems more like the right time than ever...oddly as a former epileptic I was discouraged from running more than a half marathon, but as a new diabetic strenuous exercise seems to be more encouraged. For the last 30 minutes I've been staring at the "register here screen." I just started running again a couple of weeks ago, and I am almost exactly 6-months away from June 1st, the date of the Rock N' Roll Marathon--a reasonable training time. I've looked at "How to train guides" online and am even thinking of placing a subscription for Runner's Magazine. Already, I feel stronger, healthier, and more self-confident as my heart pounds and sweat trickles down the sides of my face.

Maybe tomorrow I will have the courage to finally register...

P.S. I also have my eye on the San Diego International Triathlon as well, which is 4-weeks after the marathon...am I crazy?
