Just Another Manic Monday. . .

Actually, it's pretty calm around here. Saturday was just awesome! The "Y" at Fortification is where I train, so I felt right at home running on the levee. There's a 1 mile track below the levee, which I like to use.

The nutrition lecture wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Felt SO much better when Robin said, "Moderation is the key." Many of the foods she brought I already have. As a child, my mom usually fed us hot cereals, sometimes with wheat germ, and encouraged us to eat fresh fruit and to drink lots of water. I was introduced to ground flaxseed by an active older couple in our church; it tastes a little like wheat germ and I sprinkle a little on my yogurt now & then.

After the meeting, I went grocery shopping and got some Kashi cereal--the oat bran stuff. It tastes like heartier Cheerios and I got natural peanut butter (the crunchy kind). My dear husband prefers crunchy peanut butter, he saw the natural pb & balked a little. After some coaxing (actually nagging), he's willing to try it. Also at "Wallyworld" that day, they offered free blood pressure & cholesterol checks. I'm happy to report my BP was 115/70 and my cholesterol was 142.

Tonight is Rex's step class. Happy training everyone!

PEACE
Kim
