Twibbly

My 13-year-old boy is obsessed with The Ranger's Apprentice series. I think he's on his 3rd or 4th time through, and there's over 10 books in it. I should probably read it sometime.

Just a heads up, Level Up Your Life is on sale on Audible for $2.95 today and only today. It might just be in the US, not sure. http://www.audible.com/pd/Self-Development/Level-Up-Your-Life-Audiobook/B01B8IRDDO/ I bought it last week with a credit, so I returned it and repurchased it. (If there's a better place to put this, please let me know or move it.)

1. I know there's a separate Facebook for the guys. Otherwise, I really haven't seen anything noticeably "gendered" inside the Academy itself. 2. Down at the bottom of http://www.nerdfitness.com/academy-overview-page/, right underneath the big green boxes is a link to do it with payments instead of lump sum. 3. When I go to levelupyourlife.com, it pulls my character from the Academy. I hope that helps. I jumped in right before the price jump (like, the last day it was still $99). Yes, I've respawned several times already, but I'm still at least doing SOMETHING, and the ladies in the Facebook group are awesome. The motivation modules alone are probably worth the cost for me. Oh, and FYI, if you're looking for something a bit cheaper to stave it off for a bit...Level Up Your Life is on sale on Audible today for $2.95.

One Second After. Deals with EMPs and what happens after them, so no zombies involved.

My back is definitely less cranky today, but definitely still a bit on the tender side. I think I've decided I'm going to continue doing my shakes for at least breakfast, even if they do have *gasp* 21g carbs. My husband said they're high carb - uh, not compared to what I usually eat, and I'm not aiming for ketosis at the moment so I can have that many carbs. If we can afford it, I'm going to do them for lunch as well, at least during the week. They're expensive, but my digestive system argues with many forms of whey (and egg white protein, and pea protein...), but not this one, and I can't get myself to eat solid food in the morning.

I've had a wrench thrown in my running plans. It's the one in my back. Chiro popped it for me this morning, but told me no running until I see him again on Tuesday. Ah well, at least I can still walk. Hmmm...I wonder if I should lay off hula hooping and the Wii Fit Obstacle Course as well...

It was definitely very chewy. Blech.

I've decided there's no freakin' reason why my blood sugar does what it does, and since the kids are now gone until Monday, I'm going back to my low carb ways instead of easy-to-cook ways. I cooked cod and squash on the George Foreman. That was a mistake, at least the way I did it!

Every once in a while, we have a white Christmas. Summers here are effectively blowdryers - hot and windy. Normally around 100 for the high, with random periods of 110. Not too bad, until you try to sit on a leather car seat wearing shorts.

It's "only" supposed to get up to 76 or something today. There's a reason I live in Texas instead of up north somewhere that actually stays frozen for more than a few days during the winter.

C25K W2D2 done before the rain is supposed to start today. First time running when it was only 50 or so out. Brrrrrr. I bought Injinji socks to wear with my VFFs. I think they helped.

I had not read it, but I have now.

I ate a TON of food for dinner, including ribs, potato salad, coleslaw, grilled veggies (zucchini, squash, onions, mushrooms), artichokes, beans, with seconds of potato salad, coleslaw, and ribs. Blood sugar an hour later? 94. Hubby has an interesting theory. Blood sugar seems to be lowest when I'm outside the most. When I'm outside the most is when I'm exercising more. So...there could be a relation there. He's also suggesting it could related to my Vitamin D. More variables to consider.

So, with goal number 1 adjusted... I'm counting it as 100% on all 3 for the week. Hopefully by the end of the next week, I'll be able to figure out what my blood sugar is trying to do, and will be able to go in the beginning of the next week with my chiro and figure out a plan of action.

Played tennis with the husband and kids....which devolved into him pegging them and them trying to peg him.
