i'm sure by now people are getting annoyed with my health posts, but i promise to post on something different soon! plus, i have had a lot of people express interest in joining the bandwagon, so forgive me just this once...
today was c25k day 2 - happily, the cough is pretty much gone and aside from minor shin splints, all was well! only problem: i have been running (if you can call it that) after i get off work around 9pm... and i get home super full of energy - not the ideal situation when you need to go to bed so you can wake up at 7am... but every time i try for 6am workouts, i snooze my alarm. so extra energy it is!
my co-worker and i also tried out the magic bullet today with success! enjoyed a blackberry/pineapple/greek yogurt smoothie along with my carrots/sugar snap peas + ranch -- note on the ranch: to avoid some of the nastiness (processing) that goes into the bottled stuff, i've started mixing a dry-mix ranch packet with light sour cream. i know it doesn't completely solve the processed food problem, but i'm still too much of a beginner at this health thing to forgo smothering my vegetables in something
i'm also trying to give up my afternoon pick-me-up: diet coke. i'm replacing it with iced tea. not as fun - i miss the ice-cold, throat-burning sensation, but i'm convinced that in 10 years the FDA (or some other agency) will release a report cautioning that aspartame has been shown to cause alzheimers in rats and consequently humans. you laugh, but i genuinely fear this & can certainly see it happening
ANYWAY, i'll try to think of something different for next post. if you're on a health kick as well, please feel free to share any healthy snacks/meals you have tried and what kind of workouts you are doing!
