Saturday and Sunday I did not take pictures, track my eating, or eat every few hours. I’m not even sure what I ate now that I’m reflecting. But Monday was a new day. Part of my disregard for healthy eating and consciousness was that I got a letter from the U saying I was not …

Body For Life Day 19
Body for life day 19 (Friday). I woke up early for weights this morning. But first did about 15 minutes on the stair stepper, just to warm up and read more about Serine Proteases. But then my friend Eliece met me for the weights. We did barbell chest press and dumbbell fly Dumbbell shoulder raises …
Exhausting Run
11 miles is exhausting! If ever I sat down yesterday, I just wanted to take a nap. However it was nothing compared to the fatigue I felt after long runs last summer. Just before I had my TSH (Thyroid) checked. When I had a long run, I was not only tired all day, but I …
BFL Wednesday
Wednesday’s are tough for me. I leave at 1pm for school, and I don’t get home till 9:30pm. Luckily, Wade rearranged his schedule to be home with the kids on Wednesdays. Otherwise, it would not be possible! I started the morning with upper body weights at the gym. Ended with 45 minutes on the stairmaster, …
Body For Life Day 16
Monday was perfect! I ate everything I should. I even went to bed slightly hungry which made me feel like I didn’t “overeat”. So, for fun, I entered all my food on Spark People, and it came out to over 2000 calories! I was seriously shocked. For being 5’1, 2000 calories is pretty up there. …
Back in the saddle
I say, Back in the Saddle, because Sunday was a bit of a deviation. I kept justifying my eating by saying, “I’m only sticking to TRUE Body For Life protocol, and Sunday was the free day”. I spent the first half of the day fasting, and then I set out to make chocolate chip cookies …
Ahh, the Pain
I hate taking Ibuprofen. It usually upsets my stomach. But this morning… I was desperate. I’ve never been so sore after a workout (or at least in a long time!). I did lower body weights. Squats and lunges with weights and It’s killing me!! Plus I lost track again. If I get through the Masters …

7 Miles
I think I need to bring music running next time. Although I really love running in the quiet of the morning, I may have run faster if I had some tunes. I did run in intervals, but was somewhat sporadic about it. You know when you think…I feel great, I’ll run faster, and then, I’m …
