Eating is so important

-
Eating is so important.. esp if you want to run distance. .. I taught at co-op today.. took my lunch as always.. but took a new sandwich... a ham sandwich with THICK ham steak. and EEEEEOOOO I didnt like it one bit.. took 2 bites and that was it. so i ate what i had.. a few chips and some low fat graham crackers i brought for the kids.
i then missed a snack and got home STARVING.. grabbed thw quickest thing i could find.. a bowl of plain cheerios and milk. I scarfed it down and felt better for a bit.. then a hour and half later i ate supper.. turkey taco meat in a salad ... it was healthy but dont know if it was enough..

i let my food settle and hit the treadmill.. and after 1.5 miles running i started feeling bad.. then it got worse.. and i felt shakey and like i was going to fall over! kinda like passing out kinda feeling.. I know its probably blood sugar related and the fact i was so off on my eating today has a LOT to do with it.

so i stopped at 2 miles.. drank some OJ and ate some peanut butter toast.. and now i am feeling better.

all a BIG remider that

EATING correctly IS IMPORTANT esp of you want to run long distances :)

more tomorrow after my workout .. looking forward to upper body and getting those bis back :)

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Bread.

on the way "home" from the grocery store with fruit and some gluten free bread products in my pack :) Oh how I have missed bread. You see I am someone who use to eat a whole loaf of garlic bread by myself on my "free day" when I did body for life. Yummy buttery bread. I have missed you. Since doing the gluten free thing I have avoided buying bread. Mainly because all I could find was 7 dollars a loaf! and that was a mini loaf :( . It just seemed too pricey. I would just not eat it. Its been almost 3 weeks since my last peice of ''real" bread. I have had moments (brief) of missing it. Lately, on our trip I have been missing it a lot. mostly cause we are doing sandwiches for lunch every day. Everyone else has bread and I have lettuce wraps.  In reality I cannot see living my whole life without bread. I have gluten free bread mix at home... but I didnt make it before we left on vacation. so today. We went for a walk I needed to get some fruit...
