Starting to like the idea of running these days. Did a run/walk over the Williamsburg bridge the other day and it felt great. Def helps with a buddy by your side.
Last week I ran on the treadmill for the first time and got up to .66 miles @ 5.6 miles/hr.
Tonite - got up to .75 miles and increased speed from 5.6 to 5.8.

It was such a beautiful night...I opted to walk home from the office (2 miles) today and along the way, run an errand before culinary classes starts this Friday. As much as I love Doc Martens and wanted to pay tribute to my high school grunge days, I decided to get the more practical comfy shoes for school. I had to remind myself "fashion before comfort" would not be best for this p

Had my annual physical today and passed with flying colors! And the best part? I lost TEN POUNDS within the past 2 months!!! Wow!!! So unexpected! Must be the breakfast smoothies I've been addicted too... :)
Here's to good health! *clink*

It was great to see most of the winners for Eat.Sweat.Blog challenge yesterday. I definitely want to do this again and push myself further. It made working out a lot of fun and the learning experience was priceless.

It's been a full week since my last real workout. I was running all around town yesterday for my annual check ups with some docs and could tell that I'm still feeling physically weak from this cold. I have finished the smoothie feat however and am onto my raw feat today. I bought some prepared foods from Organic Avenue ( on 10.29.09 at 11:08 4 comments

Brown bag fail, raw food feat on the horizon. Who am I kidding...I keep procrastinating on the brown bag feat every other day and there's no way I'm going to able to accomplish this by the 31st. So, I'm going to take on the raw food feat instead. It just donned on me that this would be a good reason to take advantage of Organic Ave's services next door to my apt
10/25/09
Got out of the apt today to get some fresh air and the blood flowing. Still had no energy, but glad I got some groceries to cook for the week and the final accessory to my halloween gear.
Backlog from 10/21/09 to Current
Technical issue with this site has been resolved. Funny how something so simple such as restarting your cimputer will work wonders.

I've been trying to post the past few days, but for some reason I keep getting an error msg. Maybe it's because I'm using Mozilla instead of IE? If this is the case, then I'll try to log in from home onto IE later and copy/paste my saved entry. This is just one of the few things I've had to deal with the past week.

10/17/09 & 10/18/09
10/17/09 - I wanted to go to the gym, but after standing out in the cold for 4 hours, I was having a hard time finding the energy to workout. Something about the cold that really drains me...who knows, maybe I starting to develop a cold.

1 mile on elliptical
2 miles on treadmill
2x15 15 lb weights for arm strength training

10/16/09 - End of the week workouts are always a bitch, but hey, it must be done, right? 3 miles on the elliptical again today and I'm glad I did it. I'll probably start going back on the treadmill again soon just to alternate with the elliptical.

Back on the salad band wagon again, thank goodness! Starting to feel like myself again. Energy and mood level is up and it feels great! I think it's also because I started going on the elliptical too. Way better work out. I think my body just needed that change.

Walked home from the office today (1 hour)
Decided to lay off the arm strength training for a week. Starting to bulk up fast...I hate that!
Need to get back on the health wagon (meaning salads) after today:
b'fast - Trader Joe's Complete Oatmeal w/ 2 tsp of ground flax, granola, and chopped up bananas
lunch - slice of thin crust veggie pizza
dinner - pork dumplings/wonton soup

I'm baaaaack! Miss me?? And ironically, the last time I logged on was exactly one year ago! I def feel you on going thru the motions at the gym. The only thing that keeps me going are the hot guys that sweat there. Otherwise, it's pretty much a no go.

$12?? I thought the skate rentals were free too.

Congrats on becoming part of the workshop production in January and close to finishing your NaNoWriMo novel! I'm a bit bummed about not being able to take on the Emergency Holiday Challenge...I'll be living vicariously thru you then.

Very cool! Ahem...I'm a bit parched...(hint hint nudge nudge)

I saw the arc trainers at Equinox and am curious how different it is from the elleptical. What has your experience been like? Not sure if they have them at Ludlow Fitness, but will have to check it out if they do.

Oh geez...I hope this isn't the fool that I'm thinking of.
Posted in response to: these boots were made for walkin'
Good to know! Did you feel the effects right away? Or did they recommend going a few times?
Posted in response to: zen and the art of novel writing
For NaNoWriMo, I suggest you write a cookbook on 1,001 ways to ingest Vita Coco. :)
Posted in response to: been there, done that, got the T-shirt
That's great! Sounds like a perfect fit!

I didn't have such a great experience at Angelica's unfortunately. Maybe it was just the dish I ordered?
I have to try Pure's takeaway one day. The shake sounds good. Thanks for the suggestion. I've heard Quintessence is a good place to try too.
I had the "burrito" from Organic Ave yesterday and it didn't taste good at all so then was stuck with salad for lunch. I also tried their "beef bolognese" and it turned out okay. It's not something I will eat again though.
The diet isn't cost-efficient at all if you're not accustomed to making raw dishes and being creative. I would imagine it to be time consuming with all of the dehydrating, dicing, and slicing. Honestly, the best raw experience I've ever had was at Juliano's Raw Restaurant in Santa Monica (with Juliano himself eating at the next table :)). It was such a memorable meal that it made you want to try the whole menu. Oh dear Santa Monica...why are you so far away? :(

I agree...this challenge has made our outlook on life a little brighter.
What's the texture of quinoa pasta like?

I say, anything that creates a bead of sweat is considered a workout. 1 bead of sweat = 100 calories burned, right? :)
No need for snow shoes zuzu. Just hook a tennis racket under each sneaker and you're all set to go! Nothing beats wire traction.
PS - I like the "mental laundry" metaphor. I'm still in the tumble/dry stage minus the woolite.

I feel like this has been a long and arduous journey for us, but well worth it nonetheless. We're almost there, my friend...almost there.

Do you think you'll be going back to caffeine once you've accomplished the feat?
