Moving and Grocery Shopping

Posted: 30th September 2011 by admin in Nutrition

Well, I’ve been living at home again for the last couple months. As some of you know, I did move out to go to college, then I moved back home after a now-broken engagement. I’ve been wanting to move back out but haven’t found a place quite yet. I’ve been watching the listings on Craig’s [...]

Sleeping

Posted: 29th September 2011 by admin in Wellness

Well, I’ve had weird sleeping lately. I sleep 8-9 hours each night, but still feel tired and achy all day. I even take naps when I’m able (like once every week or 2). But I still feel so dang tired! So, can you guess what I did? Yup, I did some research. I found this [...]

Plyometrics: AHH!!!

Posted: 28th September 2011 by admin in Fitness

This last spring, my roommate and I were at the school gym. We ran a mile, and then we decided to go to one of the free classes offered. The one that coincided with our timing was a plyometrics class. I asked her what it was, and she said that it was a good workout [...]

Motivation: Goals, Focus, and Hypnotism

Posted: 26th September 2011 by admin in Wellness

Definitely something I need. But how do we find it? Where do we get it? And how do we keep it? These are all questions I’ve been wondering lately. So where do we go to find answers? Well, I decided too look up a few ways and try them out to see if they work [...]

PTSD

This blog post is going to be a little more serious than the others. As the title references, it’s about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. According to PubMed Health, it’s “a type of anxiety disorder [that] can occur after you’ve seen or experienced a traumatic event that involved the threat of injury or death”.

String Cheese

Posted: 19th September 2011 by admin in Nutrition

When I was growing up, I used to HATE HATE HATE string cheese. But now that I’m older, I’ve started liking a lot of foods that I didn’t like then, like pineapple and bell peppers. I decided to give it a try again (because it’s allowed on my diet) and I found that I actually [...]

Dieting….

Posted: 15th September 2011 by admin in Nutrition

So, I’ve finally decided to start a real diet, not like that banana one. Can you guess which one? Yup, the South Beach Diet. Practically no carbs for 2 weeks, low fat foods, and lots of non-starchy vegetables.

Don’t Be Unraveled By Stress!

Posted: 8th September 2011 by admin in Wellness

I am stressed! I know I’m just joining the club, but I still have a lot going on. The breaks are going out on my car, and I think I’ve put it off long enough so now the bolts are going too. I just broke up with my fiance. I had to go to the [...]

I’m Gonna Soak Up the Sun….

Posted: 2nd September 2011 by admin in Wellness

Ahh, sunshine. I know they say it’s bad for you, but I can’t help but love it. It just brightens my mood! Anyways, it turns out a little sunshine is good for you (I already knew that, but now I have proof). After all, being cooped up indoors all the time can’t be good for [...]
