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 …
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 …
Too much Pirate Booty
You know the saying, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. Well, I failed to plan meals today. (My plan is usually different than my families meals.. for awhile). Anyway, I figured, I was going to be home studying all day. Full access to good healthy food, and 99% of the time, I …
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 …
