Exercise: Group Ride - 1 hour
I went to the 5:30 PM Ride class as I had a harder time getting up this morning. It worked with our schedule this evening. I really enjoy Ride more than I used to. Of the the bike, swim, run, component--biking is by far my weakest. I have anxiety about crashing, scared of getting flats, terrified of hills and ride the brake, and still scared of biking in clips (though made some progress). I had anxiety of open water swimming too. But getting lots of pool time helped in the outdoors. So I am hoping indoor cycling will impact my outdoor cycling.
Sleep: I slept amazing until about 4:30 AM. I sometimes go to 5:15 AM Group Power Thursday mornings (it's often a goal the night before at least). But female problems like bad cramping and head aches kept me in bed. I slept restlessly until Rob's alarm went off at 6:30 AM. The good thing is I often only have one day of this. I am hoping the change in eating can help more with the mood swings, but the physical issues are much less of a problem.
Food:
Some successes...
1) I declined ice cream last night. I even looked at the rich chocolately scoops and almost went for it. I ate a rice cake with peanut butter instead which was actually very good. Rob buys them as a snack since his gluten intolerance does not allow him to eat cookies, Oreos, graham crackers, etc. I think he is going to have to buy more.
2) I had another vegan breakfast salad and found leftover berries in the freezer from picking this summer. I read berries are rich in carbohydrates and good for runners. I am kicking myself I did not pick more blackberries in August.
3) I had a beet for lunch. I grew them this summer with hopes to make red velvet brownies with them. I tried to make them in July and it was an epic failure. They tasted terrible and I did not like the texture either. I do not think I ever eaten beets at any point in my life except they may have been in a salad. I grated them, tossed them with them with some olive oil and lemon juice. It actually tasted really good--kind of carrot-like.

September 10: swimming & breakfast salads
Exercise: swim for 1 hour
I swim with triathletes almost every Wednesday morning. The alarm goes off at 4:45 AM. I sleep in clothes that I can wear into the gym without looking like I showed up in pajamas...when in reality I do just that. I grab my gym bag, water bottle, and eat some sort of snack in the van. It really depends what we have in the cupboard...something that does not take too much effort to open or prepare. I usually default to graham crackers, but may try protein bars.
There is often a few groups of two or three swimmers who swim together. Some are elite triathletes and some are simply exercising for the benefits of staying in shape. There have been times there is no one there and I have to figure out my own workout last minute. Before I started swimming in March of 2012, I had no idea swimmers did actual workout plans like 100 yards with the kickboard, 200 yards freestyle easy, 100 yards fast, breathing techniques, drills, "pull," etc. I used to simply swim back and forth laps...which gets super boring.
My crew is two to three ladies who have competed at the Ironman level, but currently exercise for the sake of staying healthy. One of them brings a workout we all follow. They keep track of how many yards they want to go. I believe their yardage goal is around 2200-2600 yards which is about 1.25-1.5 miles. I swim slower than they do and I do about 3/4 of their workout. I modify it as I go.
Our warm up is almost always 300 free, back, or breast (you can do whatever you want), 200 pull (swimming with the pull buoy between your legs thus you can work on your arms), and 100 kick (using the kick board). Today we did a ladder workout. Start at low yardage such as 3 x 50's and work up to one 200 yard and then back down to 50's. It was a good workout. Some mornings I feel like my form is off and my arms are not following through. I felt that way a bit this morning. There are good running days and bad running days and swimming is the same way.
Sleep: I also am blogging about sleep because the eat/sleep/exercise is a cycle. All three components affect one another. I slept better, however I woke up at 1:30 AM to a scary dream of a man coming at me with a knife. I hate these kind of dreams! Then I woke up again at 2:30 AM. I finally slept until right before the alarm goes off.
Eating: My cousin mentioned the idea of eating breakfast salads. I had never heard of a salad for breakfast. I did a little research via "Google" and discovered there are a ton of good recipes. We had baby spinach in the fridge leftover from dinner. I made a vegan salad with fresh fruits, peanut butter for dipping, baby spinach and sprinkled with lemon juice. I could eat this every morning. It was delicious. My husband would tease me about eating this way for breakfast, but I would rather eat this than a bunch of processed stuff. I have leftover salad to eat for lunch plus fresh carrot and cucumber from the garden. We are not eating as healthy for dinner with homemade macaroni and cheese, but I feel like I can afford to slide a little bit on dinners if I eat healthy the rest of the day and continue my exercise.

September 9: Honey is OK...Starbucks is my downfall
Exercise: Rest (Tuesdays was my rest day a good part of last year and that is working pretty well this time around as well)
Food:
I slept terrible last night. I did not have insomnia but my body kept waking up every hour. I was in a restless state of sleep most of the night. When I woke at 5 AM, I felt like "Can we just end this night--I'm sick of waking up!" I slept until 6:50. I went out to Applebees last night with friends and I drank a Sam Adams at 9 PM. When I got home, I felt thirsty. I did not want to drink water and be up every hour peeing. Sometimes I have over active bladder at night. I also felt way too warm. I would rather sleep with the windows open and sleep under a pile of blankets whereas Rob said he's been freezing the past couple nights.
I had steel cut oats for breakfast with banana and honey and loved it! So good. Rob brought home lunch from the funeral...salad and ham on buns. We had a very healthy dinner--homemade broccoli soup and salad. It was a little bit of a crazy mid morning as I will have two infants on Tuesdays for about one hour--that's all. It was an adjustment for me as I have not taken care of an infant since last fall and she was a bit older than the two I had this morning. I've never done two at once. It went fine and Kara went above and beyond helpful the entire morning. I have been trying to do special one on one things with her when there are not child care kids here. So we went out to Starbucks and I got a frappucino. To my credit I did not have ice cream at night which was becoming a regular occurrence up until this change in eating.
I also went to the natural grocery store because they sell the sports drink I used when I trained for the California International Marathon back in 2010. I loved the stuff. It is a natural electrolyte and not as sugary as Gatorade. When I did Portland in 2006 and CIM in 2010, it was the official sports drink at all the aid stations. I ordered it on line because the nearest store that sold it was all the way out in Lebanon. I never go out that way. Then I discovered it was in a store in Palos Heights close to where my parents live. So my mom would send me packets until that store closed. Being in Natural Grocers was overwhelming. I have never seen so many vitamins, protein shake mixes, supplements in my whole life. I felt dizzy walking through the aisles.

September 8: A Rainbow of Veggies
Exercise: Ran 4 miles
I did the Skyline/Davis route. The gradual hill on Skyline always kills me. I end up walking at some point. Today I did not have to. I made it the whole way. I also did not have much trouble getting up. I am enjoying running with the sunrise and seeing the mountains in the horizon. Fall here is an amazing season.
Food: A friend of mine mentioned putting honey in oatmeal instead of brown sugar. Add some banana or berries. I was going to do it this morning, but I love my brown sugar too much. I never cared for the taste of honey, but maybe I have not given it a fair shot. So I had a bowl of Cherrios instead.
I was reading about eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables. The house is currently stocked with fresh cucumber, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, apples, bananas, blackberries, and broccoli. I had some yogurt and berries and tomatoes and cucumber for lunch. I could eat lunch like this every day. I just wish my garden produced food year round. We do have a year round farmer's market that I might be checking out come winter.

September 7: I miss the cinnamon buns
Exercise: Ran 6 miles
Food: I am not going to write out everything I ate. It gets way too tedious and I won't stick with it if that's my expectation. I think I don't give myself enough credit because I really do know how to eat healthy. I get flustered sometimes by the trend diets and the good carbs versus bad carbs. Every Sunday morning we make cinnamon rolls out of the Pillsbury tube. They are so incredibly delicious. I often have two. Today I had none. I had a small bowl of Cherrios. Maybe Cherrios are not as good for you either, but they sure are better than gooey cinnamon buns. This is why nutrition is so incredibly frustrating for me. One time in a group discussion at my mom's group someone at the table asked: "Well which cereals are healthy?" to which one of the nutrition gurus replied: "None of them." I really wanted to roll my eyes, but I contained myself. We obviously have different standards when it comes to "healthy."
The husband who was blessed with wonderful metabolism that I will never have makes desserts on the weekend. It's a hobby of his and he's really good at it. Amazing in the kitchen, I might add. I am forever blessed. So Sunday will be a dessert day and I am not going to feel guilty about the Boston cream pie sitting in the refrigerator right now.
My other goal was to have my favorite drink of Diet Mountain Dew once every day instead of every day. One every day, I know. Judge me if you want to. I know people who consume much more than that in a day. We all have our weaknesses. I am going to see what cutting down caffeine does. Not quite ready to throw out the morning coffee yet. One thing at a time.

I Am A Nutrition Rebel
I am a nutrition rebel. I am not one to sit with a bag of Cheetos watching a TV program and polish off the whole bag in one sitting. I can eat 2 or 3 call it good. Aside from drinking too much Mountain Dew at different points in my life, I don't deal with many food addictions.
But I'm a nutrition rebel because I have heard several "healthy eating" talks in the last few years and I often leave frustrated and confused. Here's my reasons why...
1) The speakers do not emphasize exercise enough. Healthy eating and exercise are partners. Our bodies were made to move and be worked...not to be stagnant. Many of my "non-running" and "little to no exercise" friends don't really get it. Their thoughts are: "Ugh I have to exercise...it's something I HAVE to do but I don't want to" whereas my thoughts over the years became: "I can't afford NOT to exercise and I can't imagine not doing it."
2) I get flustered by all the proteins, good carbs, bad carbs, vitamins, good fat, bad fat, and keeping it all straight. Not to mention fad diets (it seems like everyone is gluten free these days). It seems like if one thing is bad for you then in a few years it's all the sudden good for you again.
3) I don't want to spend more money than what I am already spending. I don't want to buy expensive vitamins or shakes. I don't want to buy pricey foods at specialty stores.
But this is the problem: I exercise six days a week and compete in running races, but I still was asked last spring if I am pregnant. I have to accept my body the way it is, but yet is it OK to want my abs less flabby? Is this even possible? Am I chasing the wrong goal?
I have done My Fitness Pal in the past. I don't gain a lot of weight nor do I lose much. So it's a little bit up and a little bit down. My profile looks like I lost 15 pounds, but it is not true. I also don't think they give me enough calories. Sometimes I have felt dizzy and faint and extremely hungry by 5 PM. There is no way I could have three meals and two snacks and stay within the calories unless I was eating massive amounts of kale and lettuce.
I struggle with anxiety. Depression and anxiety run rampant in my family. I also get bad PMS and would probably be diagnosed with PMDD. I don't want to keep taking more medication. I have heard that cutting out caffeine, white sugars, sweets, bad carbs, etc. helps with the symptoms. So maybe this is an experiment. Maybe it's a lifestyle change. Maybe I'll stop putting my nose in the air when someone else gives me a nutrition talk.

September 1 - 9
Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Ran 3 miles
Rob & I had insomnia issues. His was most likely due to eating gluten on Monday. Mine was just plain waking up every hour for no apparent reason. I have things on my mind, but honestly don't feel overly anxious. The summer to fall transition used to be the worst time of year for me starting in high school...I would hate it. I often didn't feel better until late October and sometimes later. I stopped feeling this way after moving here (it helps it stays warm here as late as November), but this year I probably lean more towards not ready for the transition. Since this year also means going back to work. Looking back on last year we just had way too much going. I wouldn't say it was more than we could handle, and it was a good year. I have some awesome memories of it and I enjoyed my job too. I just don't feel like we need such a "run everywhere--on the edge of stress life." The kids aren't doing any fall sports until November when Kara or Derek will do swim lessons. Hailey has decided not to do swim team...at first I was a little sad, but now I totally understand and it's the best decision. She can always pick it up again later and she wants to swim lessons in the spring. She's already doing piano and will do basketball in the winter. We're continuing to do running together. All three kids raced last week and Kara won in her age category. Hailey got her mile time down to 9:38 which is amazing--she was at 13 minutes at the beginning of the summer.
The cat has been meowing in the halls again--I don't know why. Ugh it drives me nuts. I don't want to lock her up again at night, but I think I'm going to the next three nights. I had to laugh last night I came out at 4 in the morning after she was doing that shrill meow and she took of running for the laundry room knowing I was going to lock her in there--kind of a "I surrender."
So bad insomnia. Didn't get up and run. I was able to do a quick 3 miler over Rob's lunch. I will have some Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons completely off this year. I would much rather have afternoons off versus morning. I am already liking this schedule. I'm also liking having more toddlers around. They're busy of course. But the preschoolers could be more demanding at times (especially the last half of the year) with finding things to do to keep them busy and getting along. Ironically it was the preschoolers who followed me everywhere not the toddlers. :) Looking back I would maybe do things differently and try to set some boundaries, but last year was my first year and I had a huge learning curve.
Wednesday - Swam 1 hour
I slept hard from 10:30 until around 4. Then the cat was meowing. I was completely wide awake and couldn't sleep. I just laid in bed until 4:45 and then went to the pool. I was not as into the workout. It wasa lot of the same thing today--lots of 100's. I was getting a little bored with it. I also felt tired and cranky mostly because I miss the summer already. It turned out to be an OK morning and I need the morning exercise to get me through the day...even if I'm not as into it.
Thursday - Power 1 hour
Power was really good. I think it's harder doing it first thing in the morning versus the afternoon, but kept my weight about the same as last week.
Friday - Ran 3 miles
Really hard to get up! I ran the 3 mile route through the Welcome Way neighborhood. Nice hills and quiet neighborhood. Really good run.
Saturday - Group Ride
Ok so 7 AM doesn't feel early anymore to get up now that school is back in session. Went to Ride and probably one of the best times I've had at Ride in awhile. Way more into the workout and less looking at the clock waiting for it to end. I'm getting more into it.
