Operation Strong Arms

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?

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?
