Operation Strong Arms

Posted on March 23, 2010 | 16 Comments

Last night we tried some fun new items in our salad thanks to my Fresh and Easy run:

  • Loved the lemon hummus-of course I have not met a hummus I did not like!
  • The Butta :) Beans lived up to their name and were buttery and good.
  • And the tofu burgers tasted homemade not prepackaged like the frozen ones I normally buy.  I know I have to make my own soon ;)

My salad beast:

Well today is an exciting day for me! 

After work Khrystle and I are meeting to start my “training” regime.

Khrystle is a certified personal trainer and life style coach and a good friend ;) .

I will be using her personal training skills to get my upper body in shape and to speed up my running.

  • Tuesdays will be arms.
  • Thursdays will be speed work.

I am very excited to see what she has planned for me this afternoon.

I will definitely be back to let you know how Operation Strong Arms went!

Pepsi just wanted to say “hi”

Enjoy your day friends!

Are You Deficient?

Posted on March 4, 2010 | 19 Comments

Yesterday I left work early to head to a doctor’s appointment.

This was my follow-up from my last appointment where I gave blood for a nutritional panel.

My doctor is a Medical Doctor but she tends to lean towards a Holistic approach to medicine-believing that many “aliments” can be caused and therefore treated by deficiencies in your blood specifically vitamin and nutrient deficiencies.

I found out that I am deficient in:

  • magnesium
  • selenium
  • zinc
  • vitamin D

Here is my course of treatment for now:

She also recommended some other things like:

  • eat a bit of protein as soon as you wake up to “break the fast” and then have coffee
  • DRINK MORE WATER-so hard when you are a teacher and can only use the bathroom at certain times!
  • cut back on the refined carbs-duh-I know…..easier said than done

I am a work in progress……  : )

Then I came home to this face:

And had a gorgeous salad beast with my husband.

The star of the show:

Not as good as the last egg white salad.  Probably would not buy this one again.

Good glass of vino:

Watched an episode of Dexter.

Walked Pepsi.

And hit the hay.

Hope you had a great Hump Day!

Do you ever wonder if you are taking vitamins that you do not even need?
