Before After

and I pray

   For all weak and weary
For all the sick
For all who need strength to hang on
For all who seek patience to bear the pain

For my blogger friend Diana who all of a sudden disappeared from the virtual world.
For my blogger friend Artemis, who is struggling with illness
For my blogger friend Sarah who lost a twin child in labor and
For her newborn son to recover to health.

"Our Lord! On thee we rely, and to Thee do we turn, and to Thee is the eventual coming."

Run and kick miracle, once again

I had forgotten how empowering a good workout could be to me. These days i am crushed between school stress and some personal hardships. Feeling low, tired and beaten up had become a regular feeling. This afternoon, after meeting with my advise, i came back to office and all i wanted to do was to lie down and sleep. Instead i went to gym. I strated to walk/run on the treadmill with the ipod volume on max. The first interval of run was tough, i had pain on my ankle and chest, so i switched to a power walk uphill. Boy it was great. I was jogging uphill with a fast tempo in my head. I could feel the heat beneath my skin. The amazing miracle of running statred to kick in. I was there, i was running , i was STRONG. No one and no workload in the world could bend my knees. I felt i had the power to face anything that might come up on my way. What an amazing relationship between the body and the soul. I ran the last 5 minutes of my workout nonstop. It added up to 2 miles and more than half of it was uphill walk.

Then i decided to go to the cardio dance class and just stay for the beginning stertches. To my surprise instead of the cardio dance, there was the kickboxing class going on. Hooray! I stayed and took the class. I'm physically tired now, but feel amzingfly fresh and energized.

One hundred push ups

How to do push ups

Sooski jan introduced this website to our group. Let's save the info here for now.

Just being silly!

This, reminds me of something silly :D

Look at this one too, Getting bigger and bigger ;)

Back to Lesa's

Went to my strength class after 3 weeks. It was awesome. I feel energized and happy. When i graduate and leave this campus, this class and Lesa, our trainer will be one of the things i'll miss.

workout and shrimp rolls!

Strength class today , followed by 20 minutes of uphill jogging on the treadmill. I miss my running training days last summer, but i have slightly pulled the tendon in my left knee (you know, the part on the back of  the knee) and i don't want to put any stress on it.
Btw, i made these shrimp rolls yesterday and they were quite tasty and relatively easy to make. I used soft pita bread instead of the wonton wraps and used toothpicks to staple them.

Enough sleep helps you lose

There's a decrease in the amount of leptin, an appetite-suppressing hormone, when a person gets too little sleep. At the same time, ghrelin -- a hormone that stimulates appetite -- increases with a lack of sleep. Ref: here

Food tha mighr help you sleep: ref

  • A small bowl of oatmeal or cereal with low-fat milk
  • Yogurt with granola sprinkled on top
  • Half bagel or crackers with peanut butter, 1 ounce of cheese or a slice of deli turkey on top
  • Sliced apple with 1 ounce of cheese

 

Ice Cream Suicide

I was 118 in the morning, but yesterday was the ice crean suicide day for me, so no wonder! This is what i ate yesterday: a glass of milk and 2 dates for breakfat, a big bowl of tossed salad for lunch and a whole pack of lima beans and  FIVE icecream!!!

But anyways, today is a new day and i have already been to my strength class and plan to go to kickboxing at 5.

Food log:
Breakfast: milk and cheerioes and honey and sliced almonds, half of the pine apple icecream (well it was the last one, the hazard is over now!)
Lunch: Chicken and green beans and brown rice
