First thing this morning, headed to the gym. 30 minutes on the bike. There was no way I was going to get on the treadmill after the run yesterday! Also, I needed a good visual of my study guide. I had a Bio Chem test today! Then did upper body weights all on machines. Its …

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 …
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 …
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 …
How do people come up with these day to day titles?
Titles are somewhat easier on blog.superhealthykids.com, because those posts are actually ABOUT something! But the day to day life blogs, such as this… what do you say?? It’s Wednesday! Title enough? I don’t know what I’m talking about. I’ve been up since 4am. Now I’m waiting for my evening class to start, and so I’m …
Malnutrition Monday
We had a guest speaker in our Nutrition class today that talked about Malnutrition and international nutrition. The speaker was able to do her RD masters internship in GHANA! What an experience. Something a married mother of 3 in a masters program probably wouldn’t want to do. But, with Wade being a Nurse and me …
Can Halloween be over already?
I do not need this candy in my pantry! Or at least I should buy stuff I don’t like. I have no willpower over mini candy bars. However, I am finally under 120lbs!! Here is the bad thing. When I eat mini candy bars and still lose weight, it creates a very bad situation for …
Meal prep
Yesterday I brought my 50 pound chemistry book to the gym. While on the stair stepper, I read the entire chapter. Normally this task would take hours, but somehow, while working out, connections are being made in my brain! I completely understood the chapter. PLUS was able to memorize 10 reactions on how to turn …
At least I’m exercising
Well, I know I can be consistent with exercising, although Halloween candy is starting to get the best of me. I know better than to buy it so early. Its not worth it to have it staring at me every time I open the pantry. Yesterday I got a great run in. I know, I’m …
