Last blog!!

Um so I just got strep throat last Thursday & it's been a bit of a discouraging setback from thinking I was on the up and up from mono but I should recover pretty quickly as I'm taking penicillin. I took 5 days off of exercise to try and get better and I started running again today. Overall, I think I got better as fast as I could this semester and can't wait to continue to try and take care of myself and exercise. I want to feel good and healthy going into my wedding (which is 81 days away :) and if I keep things up hopefully I'll be on the right track. I'm going to miss everyone, this was an amazing class!

Progress Report

Over the past 3 weeks I've exercised 5 days each week for 20-50 minutes each time. I've been loving it because I'm mixing things up by hiking and biking in addition to running. I've also continued to feel better health wise and want to take extra care as finals and paper/presentations start to get extra sleep and REST*

Below are links to some interesting articles that explain the health benefits of REST*:

And lastly a recent clinical study shows that Ester-C^® increases Vitamin C levels in your body for up to 24 hours compare to traditional vitamin C. I started taking Ester-C about a month ago and I think it's what helped me get of the mono hump. Click here to see the article and here for the brand's website.

Progress Report

Yay, I've been feeling better and exercising 5 days a week for the past 2 weeks! I've been running, walking the dog, hiking and hopefully will start to bike/swim more.
