Blogging From Detroit and My favorite thing this week

hello from Detroit! Random, right? I’m blogging during my layover.

Sadly, they don’t have a Dunkin Donuts in this airport – that’s the main reason I travel!! (There is finally one DD in CA but it’s about 45 miles away.)

But, let’s go back to California for a minute…

Yesterday I packed up all my travel essentials – magazines, Quest bars, stevia and my laptop:

While I was Camiseta Atletico Mineiro packing I snacked on frozen mango. This snack has changed my life.

Then, I headed to my mom’s for a ride to the airport. Of course I had to raid her fridge for dinner. It’s the right thing to do.

The drive to the airport was semi-eventful because there was a bad accident and a complete stop on the freeway for about 15 minutes. happy I worked in a time cushion this time – usually I’m running to the gate like my life depended on it!

And my love/hate relationship with red eyes continues…

I have the eye mask I got in China but it goes around your ears, not head and makes me uncomfortable. So, I made it work

The flight was freezing.

Next thing ya know I’m in Detroit talking to you nice people.

I’m headed to Florida to check out with Camiseta Atletico Madrid Ben and his family on their annual trip to an island south of their home. They’ve been going for over 20 years and I’m happy to spend some quality time on the beach with them  

And now the moment no one has been waiting for…

My Friday Favorites:

1. Mystic Tanning.

2. Coconut scented lotion. I love it.

3. This.

and this

4. 19 kids and Counting. Yes, still Camiseta Palmeiras love them. It’s so random since I wasn’t a big fan at first and now I’m obsessed. Also, I hope the oldest girl gets in a courtship (if that’s something she wants). I think she’s so pretty.

(source)

5. This 99 cent store find. Score. They might be amazing blended with rum, pineapple juice and ice. Allegedly.

Also – today is national Donut Day!!! I celebrated hard on Monday so I think I’m going to skip this one. But, I hope you celebrate big.

Question: What’s your favorite thing this week?

Hello! On today’s Run eat Repeat Podcast I’m answering 3 fantastic questions… exactly how do you lose weight when  you have hypothyroidism?  – must you do a shakeout run before a race? and  – Is organic food much better for you or just a lot more expensive??

If you have a concern for me you can –>>> email it or leave a message on the RER podcast voicemail line! email me at RunEatRepeat@gmail.com with “Podcast Question” in the subject line or the VM # is 562 888 1644 .

Weight loss as well as hypothyroidism:

Question: I’ve been complying with your blog for a long time as well as keep in mind you discussing thyroid issues.
I was wondering if anything altered with your thyroid administration that contributed to your weight loss that wasn’t discussed in your videos.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as well as am so curious about hormones, anti-inflammatory diet, etc…to aid in my treatment (asides from my thyroid meds).
Thanks, Karen

Monica: I’m sharing what I eat as well as what supplements I take to lose weight when handling hypothyroidism. inspect out the links below for a lot more info on messages where I share diet plan modifications as well as supplements.

Note: I don’t have Hashimoto’s as well as a great deal of the concerns I get about losing weight as well as having sufficient energy to run are from followers with Hashimoto’s disease. I have hypothyroidsm – my T3 as well as T4 levels are low. however what I do may not be applicable to you. always speak with your physician before making any type of diet plan or exercise changes.

Tools you need:

Weight Loss publish – notes on exactly how I lost weight as well as 6 suggestions on things I get healthier

Weight Loss videos – You can see my videos on exactly how I lost weight on my YouTube channel here

Diet modifications for my hypothyroid problems –

Why I eat romaine over spinach

Running with Hypothyroidism

Supplements I take for hypothyroidism:

Thyroid supplement – I look for ashwaghanda as well as L-tyrosine in whatever thyroid supplement I’m taking

Adrenal tiredness supplement – I’ve taken in the past however don’t currently take

Should you do a shake-out run before a race?

Question: exactly how do you feel about shake-out runs?  If you run before a race (half as well as full marathon), exactly how far do you generally run?  any type of recommendations on this would be helpful.

Thank you, Lulu

Monica: I don’t do shake-out runs before a race. I understand it’s crucial if you are going for a pr as well as going to go out quick – you must be heated up if you’re running at max speed! however for running a half marathon or marathon I believe it’s optional based on your goals for that race. If you are particularly tight as well as know  you normally warm up, stretch as well as then begin running – keep it the same.

Never do anything new on race day. That applies to warming up before a run too. So if you normally warm up before your long run or goal speed run – try to do a similar warm up before the race.

Is organic food much Camiseta Cerezo Osaka better for you than conventional?

Question: I’m honestly curious if eating organic truly makes a difference as far as nutritional value goes. I’ve never been a huge organic person since it costs so much a lot more as well as I always figured as well as apple is an apple whether it’s organic or not. Is there truly a lot more nutritional value is organic food?

Thanks, Jenny from Jenny Running on Life

Monica: It’s a lot more challenging organic being much better for you nutritionally.

The filthy lots are the 12 foods that are the most contaminated with pesticides – you must get those Camiseta Watford FC organic.

There are likewise a great deal of foods that it doesn’t matter as much if you get organic.

So while an organic strawberry may not have a lot more vitamins or fiber or wonderful powers over a traditional strawberry… the traditional strawberry may have pesticide residue on it that can hurt you long term.

This listing of foods you must get organic is from Dr. Andrew Weil’s website. It’s an updated listing with the filthy lots plus a few new foods added last year.

Foods you must get organic:

Strawberries

Spinach

Nectarines

Apples

Peaches

Pears

Cherries

Celery

Grapes

Tomatoes

Sweet bell peppers

Cherry tomatoes

Potatoes

Cucumbers

Lettuce

Foods you don’t have to get organic:

Sweet corn

Avocados

Pineapples

Cabbage

Onions

Sweet peas (frozen)

Papayas

Asparagus

Mangoes

Eggplant

Honeydew melon

Kiwi

Cantaloupe

Cauliflower

Grapefruit

Tip: If you can’t pay for organic think about selecting fruits as well as veggies from the ‘clean’ listing OR washing and/or peeling the foods from the filthy lots list.

Tip 2: get foods that are in season to assist cut down on expense (since they’re frequently less expensive during their height season) as well as they normally taste much better when in season too!

Five Friday favorites

This afternoon I was Camiseta Selección de fútbol de España productive with emails and cleaning (okay, I just washed the dishes but that was enough for today).

I felt hungry every 3 hours though. I think my body is getting used to eating much more typically now. A bit after lunch I cut up a watermelon.

Don’t worry, Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Países Bajos I had already eaten 4 cups of the stuff before this photo session. That’s the only way I could wait!

A bit later I realized I needed something with protein so I made a protein shake topped with cereal.

Since this is my Friday favorites post and all… Camiseta Brighton & Hove Albion FC I need to say that this is my favorite snack EVER. Well, at least it’s my favorite snack of the year.

Dinn-ah! Burnt english muffin pizzas. because you know I like burnt stuff and you know I love pizza.

Here are my Friday favorites of the week:

1. Stride Gum. After very lengthy research (read: over a pack a day) I have come to the conclusion that this gum lasts longer than any other. It’s science.

2. Researching my next vacation. So Kayak has been my BFF all week.

3. Janetha from meals and Moves. I typically get asked what are my favorite blogs and hate to name names because I’m fickle. But, meals & Moves is one of my top 5 and I credit report Janetha with showing me the power of protein!

4. talking too LOUD! I feel especially shout-y the last few days. Random.

5. and this is my favorite piece of swag from Blogher! and it came with a full sized ‘plant’ if you know what I imply

I have a long run scheduled for tomorrow and am kinda looking forward to it. Finally! Last marathon training session I looked forward to all my runs, but this session I’ve been dreading them. I’m going to focus on staying positive tomorrow and pushing through.

Hello! Today’s RER Podcast answers some of the questions I received after the pile on the Miles Challenge. I put out a survey for your feedback and future needs. There was a section for questions too! So today I’m answering 5 of your running, eating and social media questions.

This episode is a Q&A and packed with very helpful suggestions and guidance including: 22 things to do when you are injured or can’t run! and 7 ways to stay healthy while training for a marathon.

If you have any questions for me – send ‘em over! contact information is at the bottom of this post.

1. Question: – The hardest part for me is pushing past my comfort level. I kind of get stuck and I don’t know how to relocation past that. Help!? Is that a question?

Monica: yes the question is… how do I relocation past my comfort level?

First I would identify what stops you to push past your comfort level.

pushing past your comfort level. Do you get frightened or kind of get anxious that your heart rate is enhancing or you’re getting out of breath? To just till feel discouraged when it gets hard like maybe I’m not good at this? Does it just feel unpleasant because you’ve been doing something for so long that when you start to feel like you are being challenged it’s an instinct to kind of pull back because you think maybe you’re doing it wrong? figure it out why can’t push past Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Suiza that will help you fix it.

Choose – Do you want to work on speed or DISTANCE?

Figure out your typical effort level.

And to give you a useful example here’s a little exercise and pushing past your comfort zone during a run… first evaluate what is your typical effort level while running.

On a scale of 1 to 5… 1 = sitting /  2 = walking /  3 = easy run /  4 = race / 5  = running for your life

25% is taking a walk / 50% is an easy run you could maintain  / 75% it is running better / 100% it is as fast as you can run away from a bear.

During your run after warm up in the middle of a ride I would push it up a level for a fartlek run so you’re not really viewing your time but pushing yourself 10 to 25% more. It’s like when you do a spin class and increase the resistance it makes it harder but you’re doing the same thing.

How to do a Fartlek Run podcast

2. Question: What motivates you to keep choosing the blog and social media?

Monica: Well there are two big reasons be the top reason is that I really love it! I really love connecting with everyone. I feel like we have a virtual running group and I get really thrilled when people chime in and say that I motivated them to sign up for a race or they were going to skip their run but seeing a post that I did push them to do it.

The second reason is that this is how I make money – blogging, social media, selfies, strange live videos, la-di-da. things are changing all the time and blogging and social media are very different today compared to when I started and it’s going to be very different a year or two from now! So it is exciting and keeps me on my toes. also – it’s essential to note I have the time because I’m not fitting it in around other work.

I think I’d make it a priority even if it wasn’t my job because I genuinely delight in it!  but if I ever wasn’t motivated I would either push myself to do it or find another job.

Check out the episode on how bloggers make money below. If you’re interested in learning much more about this let me know. feel totally free to ask any questions so I know if you’re just curious about behind-the-scenes or want some suggestions on how to blog, podcast or do social media full time.

How bloggers make money podcast

3. Question: how do I stay healthy while training for marathon?

Monica: I think that you imply how to stay healthy as in-  not get sick or  don’t feel good. I say this all the time but I really  believe it = proper fuel and rest are so important.

If you are running a ton you’re asking a lot of your body and you’re depleting your resources  so you need to give back. restore all those resources both physical and mental that you’re using during marathon training. It’s like changing the oil every 3,000 miles in your car – in addition to adding gas. There are small daily tasks you can do to stay healthy and bigger weekly or monthly things that will help.

How to stay healthy during marathon training:

Make rest and recovery a priority. set aside time for all the things beyond running that are required.

Stay positive.

Treat your body like an athlete.

Eat well. eat enough. eat healthy.

Get proper rest – sleep, naps, taking it easy and similar… get enough sleep at night. Take naps as needed. Opt out of extra exercise if it’ll be too hard on your body.

Take vitamins and supplements as needed. (Always speak with with your doctor on any new diet or exercises.)

Listen to your body. respect what it’s telling you.

4. Question: how do you hold your running post? I tried doing that for my victory photo and about fell over. It’s a lot harder than it looks. LOL

Monica: I have a great suggestion for balancing that works for my running pose and for other balance exercises when you’re on one leg. This question got me thrilled because I do have a secret to this and it’s based on something I learned in cheerleading. Anytime you’re doing something where you’re balancing on one foot you can maintain your balance by imagining you’re being sucked up through a big straw.   When you are one foot you tend to start to wobble one way and then you pull yourself the other direction to balance it out but that’s not the way to fix it. When you start wobbling –  pull straight up like you are being sucked straight up into the sky through a straw.

I love this because it’s it works for the running pose, it works for tree pose in yoga and it kind of works in life. in some cases we start leaning one way too much… For example: If I start to go off the rails and  eat a bunch of junk.  I tend to want to pull myself to the other side and do a cleanse or cut out sugar and carbs and completely Camiseta Ajax do the opposite!! That’s not balance – it’s just throwing yourself in the opposite direction. Correcting your balance implies getting back to the center.

5. Question: I just started back running after losing 50 lbs and injured my foot. how do you stay motivated while injured?

What CAN you do?

22 things to do when you have a running injury or can’t run…

Take up non-impact exercise (if you’re approved by your doctor).

Meal prep and/or improve your diet.

Spend quality time with your people.

Volunteer.

Phone a friend.

Send your family and friends a card or letter in the mail.

Go through and organize old photos or papers.

Go to a museum.

Research the best sushi or other food in your city.

Be a traveler in your town and visit something different each week.

Take a paint and red wine class (I know I need a drink when I can’t run!)

Have a meal or drinks outside and just unwind and people watch.

Write a book?

Read a book! join a book club.

Redecorate.

Organize your closet.

Learn how to make Pad Thai! (Then, invite me over.)

Write a bucket list.

Make a quilt.

Take a new class at the gym.

Learn to play an entire song on the guitar or piano in 8 weeks.

Go through all Run eat Repeat’s instagram and facebook Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Ghana messages and leave funny comments so I see them later and have a laugh. Thanks.

>>>> any other ideas? Leave them in the comments!

Make a list of all the ‘I should…”  or “I’ve always wanted to…” activities.  A pile of papers? Old photos? A museum. send your family or friends a note in the mail. A new person each day.

Ditch your workout calendar. swap it out for a 8 weeks of zen … 8 weeks of volunteering …. 8 weeks of connecting…. 8 weeks and 2 books …

Got a question for me? Leave a message on the RER voicemail line or email me RunEatRepeat@gmail.com

I wanted PB toast and an Camiseta Ajax egg sandwich so I made one of the each – open face style! best of both worlds foods.

Last night I spent some quality time with my new Runner’s World. Apparently, carb loading isn’t just fun – it’s science! There is a great post about carb loading sufficiently to help avoid hitting the wall.

The post is called “Fill ‘Er Up” by Dimity McDowell. There was a carb load of info, but here are some of the most helpful bits…

Since you’ll be eating a lot of carbs – fill up on low fiber ones. This kinda goes against a lot of healthy eaters beliefs, but throw the high fiber grains out the window to avoid stomach issues and filling up too fast.

Start carb-loading 2-3 days before the race. It’s not just one pre-race dinner that will fill your tank.

EAT ALL CARBS! Okay, not exactly. But, the post said to switch your diet to 85 to 95% carbs. <- I was shocked at those numbers. Surprised, but ready I joke that I love running for the carb loading, but I do feel a little better that there is legit science behind it. So, I gotta get hold of a snack before I head to work. It’s science. Question: What’s your carb-loading meal or snack Camiseta Liverpool FC of choice?

Weight Loss Success Story–Margie at the most significant Loser resort

Hydration. Nailed it.

I also nailed a new hummustard salad dressing recipe! It has all my favorite things hummus, Sriracha and nope. that’s pretty much my only favorite things best now.

Weight Loss Success Story

Recently I had the opportunity to talk with Margie Krueger who started her weight loss journey at 400 pounds and has been working her way down down down to a weight loss success story! Margie is losing weight the the most significant Loser resort at fitness Ridge, a company rep hooked me up with her to talk about her journey.

Here is Margie “Before”

Krueger won the most Camiseta Racing Club de Avellaneda significant Loser’s second chance contest on Facebook and Camiseta Fútbol the prize is a six month stay to their Utah resort. Margie was 400 pounds at her highest weight but started to get healthy in 2006 and lost 200 pounds! Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to keep the weight off and is now using this opportunity as a second chance to change her life for good.

Margie and I talked on the phone for over an hour about weight loss, running, food and the most significant Loser resort (she was there when we chatted). I kinda think we’re friends now and I’m rooting for her! here is some of the best parts of our conversation:

RER: What made you want to go the ranch for 6 months? That’s a lot of time to be away from family and friends!

Krueger: I turned 58 a week ago. I could have gone home. The Ridge has been outstanding with this, letting me be the chauffeur of this journey. They would have let me go home, but it’s hard when you’re doing this to go and come back. I just felt like it was good for me to stay.

I was to a point in my life with the health stuff where I was going to die. In the beginning it wasn’t a decision. and if it was, I chose life. The cardiologist said if I didn’t get it under control I would die.

RER: You discussed losing weight and acquiring it back. how is it different this time?

Krueger: I was dying, there was no other choice. It’s hard work here but I feel like I’m much smarter about this. I’m so thrilled and passionate about it! This is a new beginning for me.

RER: What about the emotional part of weight loss. have you went to therapy at all? (I shared some of my thoughts and story about therapy and didn’t ask it this abrupt, but this post isn’t about me.)

Krueger: I try to tell people I want it all. this time around I have dealt much more with the emotional side of the weight loss journey. I am still working on a lot of stuff, but I am much more aware.

It is about much more than the scale – Camiseta Sport Club Internacional it’s about the stuff in our head and our heart that is holding us back like a prisoner. I have been really open to all the questions and all the answers.

(The ranch offers therapists and life coaches to attendees to see as needed. I really like that.)

Krueger: When I was clean eating I would really love to restrict my food. I think it was about control. essentially it’s an eating disorder. here I am 58 and working with the staff on this. Restricting – who can live like that? nobody can. That’s partially why I lost weight but gained it back. I feel relieved there is an answer.

RER: We’ve all seen the show The most significant Loser with the big scale – but how often do you weigh in at the resort?

Krueger: The Ridge is about a healthy lifestyle. It’s not about, ‘let’s see how much weight you can drop fast’. There are exercise sessions and educational classes.

At first I wanted to weigh in every week, but it got to be too much pressure. My trainer said we could do something else so I didn’t weigh in for five weeks.

I heard that you were running?! How’s that going?

I did my first 5K and I’m so happy of myself. There was a group of people who did it, about 20 of us and it was everyone’s first 5K!

How’d it go?

Krueger: I actually got a ribbon for my age group! There could have been only 3 in my group – I know know, I don’t even care!

My goal was to walk away from it saying, “I want more”.  I just wanted to be vertical! I did it in about 44 minutes.

RER: Now, I am very curious about the food! What do you eat at the Ridge?

Krueger: We eat about 1500 calories a day – three meals and two snacks. There is a salad bar at every meal with a lot of different fixings. There is balsamic vinegar at the salad bar. They also have 50 calorie dressings, but they bring those separate.

You get your salad, but the rest is served. There are people who are gluten-free, vegetarians, have allergies. The menu board lists the menu with the calories. If there is something you don’t like there is always tuna or chicken salad you can have instead.

For breakfast there are five things you can choose from – egg scramble with toast, a smoothie with chocolate and a protein choice. They also have oatmeal or granola with a protein. and fruit!

At lunch there is always a soup and the soup is amazing! The entrees for lunch are a lot of different things like Chinese chicken Salad to chicken Alfredo. The most significant meal is lunch.

They offer dessert after dinner, but I’m not a dessert girl. I would rather have much more meat and potatoes. typically if I don’t have dessert I’ll have a piece of fruit. but my favorite is a chocolate covered banana. The food is outstanding and you’re never hungry!

The snacks are always a protein and a carb. It’s things like celery with peanut butter, and apple with string cheese, hard boiled egg with something else.

There is a recharge time and they offer a smoothie or fruit too. It’s really good because you have down time to just connect with other people.

Strawberry Shortcake Overnight Oats recipe – Runner breakfast or post Run Snack

This strawberry shortcake overnight oats recipe is an easy and healthy breakfast for runners or post-run snack. Make it ahead of time Camiseta AS Roma so you don’t have to worry about making breakfast  (and can use that time to stretch).

The good news is strawberries are in season! I’ve spotted the local farms selling them from booths set up all around Orange county in random parking lots. That’s how I know they’re in season – and they are so delicious fresh from the farms!!

So strawberries were on my mind but I didn’t get them from the local farm booth… that was a mistake. I have 2 pounds of the fruit and this batch is not very sweet. Womp womp.

But I used them in this Strawberry Shortcake Overnight Oats and it was delicious!! (My original recipe suggested using a tablespoon of sugar on the chopped strawberries – it’s optional but does help them breakdown and get even more juicy overnight.)

Overnight oats is a great post-run meal or snack because it has a good combo of carbs and protein to refuel your body. This can be mixed together before a run or overnight – just make sure you let it set for at Camiseta ACF Fiorentina least 2 hours.

Strawberry Shortcake Overnight Oats

Ingredients: [makes 2 servings]

1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

1 cup oats

.5 cup milk

1/8 tsp vanilla extract & salt

1 Tb. chia seeds (optional)

1 cup chopped strawberries

chopped nuts or nut butter

Directions:

Combine yogurt, oats,  milk, salt and vanilla – mix well.

Layer oats and strawberries, dividing them between 2 containers. (I used small mason jars, but any small food safe container with a lid may work.)
Store in fridge overnight OR for at least 2 hours.

Top with nuts before serving.

Enjoy!

Tips:

You can make this first thing in the morning… run and then come back to delicious ‘over-run’ oats instead of overnight (depending Camiseta SC Braga on your schedule).

The serving size is 2 – so it’s a good meal prep option giving you breakfast for 2 days OR you can share it!

Eating a lot more before a long run – 15 miles

I am going to start boosting my eats before long runs. I normally only have one piece of toast with PB, but as I am boosting my mileage I need to increase my before run eats. Today I stuck with the toast and PB&J, and then added another hunk of bread with PB. I am boosting my before run eats slowly so I don’t upset my stomach ? each week I may add a little more.

Marathon Training: I did 15 miles today in 2:20:17. I felt really good through the majority of the run! maybe ice cream is a good carb loading technique. I also think the pasta with salt helped!

This is what I took on my run – a water bottle filled with Camel elixir Camiseta Tigres UANL and chomps. I used to only drink water on my long runs, but have realized the benefits of chews and Gus on runs – do it, if you don’t yet!

On my run I thought about breakfast – hey, if I am running 15 miles I expect a good meal (or two) out of it! It always comes down to the age old question: “Smoothie or Pancakes?” I went with both and made a small smoothie to take pleasure in while making the pancakes.

I generally make my pancake recipe up as I go along. It is ww flour, oats, egg, cottage cheese, soy milk, baking powder, salt and cinnamon blended up.

When I poured the batter into the pan I added sliced banana. It was amazing! I also topped it with maple syrup and some PB post photo ?

Ben and I were going to do the sightseeing thing again today, but it’s raining. Actually, it started to rain on me at mile 13 and it was just drizzly enough that I loved it! We may postpone that to tomorrrow.

I just realized that we ate breakfast at 11:30am – this is why my weekend eats get so thrown off!

Make it a terrific Saturday!
