Good will to everyone...

Many of you have written about turmoils and tribulations in your lives and I want to send out good thoughts on the internet lines to my readers, and to the authors of the blogs I follow.

Day One of Paleo went well.

Late Breakfast (I slept in today)- Black coffee.  One bowl of pineapple, and one bowl (about a fist size) of lean pork.

Lunch- Mixed cashews, raisins, and pepitas, with a glass of Emergen-C.

Dinner- Two bowls (small fist sized portions) of my husband's latest creation, which was a layered-vegetable-crock pot thing consisting of eggplant, tomato, zucchini, red onion, basil, garlic, and the same lean roasted pork.

I feel good.  A couple of times I wanted to sprint to a bowl of cereal, but I drank water instead.  Ready for day 2.

Train well,
Dag

Ramblings

Well my left calf is still laid up but definitely on the mend.  No BJJ tonight.  On the upside, I did my push-ups this morning and they are finally getting easier!  I am up to 3 sets of 20 and my final reps no longer feel like utter misery, the way my last few reps felt two weeks ago, when I was only performing 10 and 12 at a time. I can feel the strength building in my arms so when I push the last ones, there is actual, honest-to-goodness, muscle fibers firing off and doing the work.  Does this make any sense?  I am still working hard, but the work is more enjoyable because I have more efficient tools to complete the task.  Adrenalin is lovely tool, but when you are building strength in weak areas, true ability to complete an action is refreshing after two weeks of relying on guts and stubbornness. Bonus, years ago I used to work out to Tamilee Webb's Buns of Steel.  There, I said it, so what.  (what?  stop laughing).  This morning...

SWAT tryouts

Eloquence escapes me right now. Bluntness plays my gray matter like children's toy. 440m run: 79 seconds...:) Push-ups: 48...:) Sit-ups: 48...:) Pull-ups: 6..:) Obstacle Course: 4:07...:(. Needed to be under 4:00.  Almost got there but I got hung up with the final two obstacles for toooo long. I am disappointed.  and yet my undying optimism steps in like Auntie Mame.  When I started down this path in February I could hardly knock out 15 push-ups, pull-ups were a pipe dream, and my sit-ups were so so.  My 440 time?  Laughable like frozen molasses. Now.  now I have fast twitch muscle.  I can sprint.  I can work to the point of exhaustion, to the point of exhaustion, and then harness the power of adrenalin, and wield it like a sword.  I learned today however, that adrenalin can wield right back at you, and rip it's power away.  I went at this last 6-foot wall today like a blood-thirsty piranha sent from hell and my usually ...

For Ladies in the Half Century

 Gentlemen- this post will be lady centric, as I'll be discussing menopause. Ladies. Just. Say. No. Say no to feeling tired.  Say no to crappy sleep. Say no to mood swings.  Say no to "unexplained" and/or unwanted weight gain. Or, not. If you are entering your second half century and are experiencing all this, and "have accepted" it as part of the journey, then more power to you. This post may not apply to you.  But if you are like me, and upon turning 51, your body went askew, for about 2 years, consider these things...when you were a teenager, there was most likely an adult in the room to explain the process. Maybe it was your mother, a health class teacher, a school nurse, a trusted adult. Chances are you were given equipment, clothing, and products to navigate the onset of a period and herky-jerky growth spurts.  Adulthood life changes? The medical advice seems to stop at "well that's the way it is..." The changes in hormones are every bit as d...
