Good Tired: Dedicated to MizFit

Jump to Comments

I have sung Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer over and over again for about 45 minutes today! My kids are performing it (and a bunch of other tunes) to their parents next week and I was trying to make them sing it perfectly.

Something quite funny happened in the end; I looked at them all and said “Guys, I am tired!”

Then one of my girls said “Moran, please, I don’t want you to be tired”

I then had a flashback to MizFit’s post, looked at them and said “Oh but guys, I am good tired! I am happy that I am tired because we got SO much done today!”

I really am good tired! I cannot put into words how much I love my job and my kids. They are a.m.a.z.i.n.g! And I get so much joy from seeing them progress in their learning.

The Gym

I am participating in Melissa’s Blogger Holiday Marathon Challenge . I am not sure how things will turn out, as in should I just “run” the marathon or more, but one thing I am starting to make myself get ready for: I want to run outside for that week my gym is closed. Guys, I don’t know if I make it clear enough how much I suffer from the cold. The layers! The runny nose! The frozen hands! But I want to get out there. I know it will be hard for me to not exercise as often (not exercising at all is not an option) or working out from my DVDs. I will definitely show you my prospective attire later on this week and ask for your feedback!!

I hopped on the treadmill and did 5.4 KM today; 5 KM running, 400 meters walking. I had to rush again, this time for a facial!!

Running Time	Running Speed	Incline	Average HR	Highest HR
30 minutes	10 km/hour	1%	174 BPM	190 BPM

Heart rate is still high, but at least I didn’t feel like my heart would pop out any minute.

Here are the walking stats:

Walking Time	Walking Speed	Incline	Average HR	Highest HR
8 minutes	6.5 km/hour	4%	About 138 BPM	140 BPM

School

I had to come in earlier to school today and leave later! We have so much going on right before the holidays! The good news is, I got an A for my mid-term and an A on the quiz we had last week. All are for my Principles of Management class. I am 3/4 of the way done with my paper so I just gotta work on that and then I get to enjoy my vacation have to study for the final in January!

My Splenda issues…

I have commented about them before; I am pretty much a regular “Splenda” user (we don’t have Splenda in the Czech Republic, so I use a “local” sweetener). The amazing Caitlin of Feed Between the Lines has been giving me some amazing tips on how to try and dismiss the usage…This morning I did not use it (yay!), and instead of my usual of oats (40 grams dried) I used only 25 grams, and another 20 grams of my high-fiber cereals. That was definitely a sweeter combination, probably because my cereals have some sugar! I know this is not a food blog, but because I am in love with my iPhone I just snap pictures all the time, even of my food. So here it goes, my breakfast…

And that dish behind is my ma’s oh-so-yummy-I-can-eat-it-all-at-once chocolate cake. See how many temptations are around?
