Running

Today I'm going to start the couch to 5k plan.  I started the plan earlier this summer, but I was taking 7 hours of classes over a short session, so it got placed in the back seat, as did all exercise.  Something about only having 4 1/2 weeks to complete genetics and environmental science makes exercising seem like a little less than a priority.

This isn't the exact plan I found originally, but its close and I like it so I'm going for it.  I've always preferred running outside, so if the temperature doesn't kill me today I'm going for a trail run.  If its too hot to breathe I suppose I'll use the gym. 

On another note:  I was debating if I wanted to use this as a food journal but decided against it.  I'm notoriously bad at keeping food journals and I think that would be painfully boring for most people.  Instead, I'll only posts interesting or extremely delicious recipes.  Or perhaps when I slip up and eat something really bad for me and super delicious, such as the butterfinger blizzard or chilli cheese fries from dairy queen.  I <3 chilli cheese fries.  so much.

Fitbit Fiasco

This week was not so great.  I worked lots of extra hours, and  I sometimes feel like my primary function is to baby sit adults.  I didn't get enough sleep this week, and I have been ravenously hungry.  I have at least figured out what caused The Hungry.  I quit taking birth control about a month ago and its hormone time.  Que all the usual suspects: hunger, fatigue, irritability, and general aches.  On the bright side, my knee has been feeling better so I have been going for short walks.  While I did not stay under on calories, I did meet my exercise goals, so at least I've got that going for me.  Now, onto the Fitbit story! I'm sure everyone knows what Fitbit is and the line of fitness products they offer.  ( www.fitbit.com )  Through a health program at work, I received a free one about 6 months ago.  Unfortunately, I lost it after a short time.  Then I started having knee problems so I never purchased a new one....

Bipolar Owl

I'm out of town this weekend so I didn't have much time to find what I wanted to post about.  I think my next big post is going to be about the stigma of taking medication, so for this Saturday enjoy a meme about bipolar meds. 

What I want

I want an extraordinary life where I do extraordinary things.  In all the turmoil I have been experiencing lately, this I can say with absolute certainty.  I want an extraordinary life where I do extraordinary things.  The next part of this is figuring out what that really means for me.
