So you think you know your Fruits n Veggies

So last night on my Pre-Juice Fast Stage, So worried and not eating as much the last few days Found out that KNOWLEDGE will set you Free!
      Talking with this woman in the produce area of the store, I explained what my daughter and I were up to and then told her about my headache and telling her this could be a set back for me.
 The lady, her name was Beatrice, told me, "Passion fruit and Mango have caffeine in them and that raw juiced will bring about the natural  caffeine" I was always told only cola beans and coffee beans have caffeine, but the lady told me the seeds hold the value. I have not been able to find any info on the seeds of any fruits, only the flesh of them.
      So I took home the two and found that the Mango seed was ENORMOUS so only juiced the flesh. The Passion Fruit was seedy and tart, but I juiced the whole thing. Now maybe the passion fruit has no caffeine but it is HIGH in Niacin like 1500mg.
      Now get this, This Amazing fruit has other values like Harmala alkaloid, some say this derivative had the ability to lower blood pressure and  suppressing metabolism of monoamine compounds like serotonin and norepinephrine.These properties would most likely account for my blood pressure drop and my headache going away. Oh and My Excellent mood!

Apples Peaches Pumpkin pie, If your Not ready Hollar I I I I

Okay, No Pie, but strawberries, apples, ginger, and KALE. Ha ha ha kale, that amazing green that cooked with diced onions, balsamic vinegar, and bacon bit has the most amazing taste. Oh Don't forget the butter or better yet use the fat from the bacon. LOVE !!!!
    Anyhow, I will be adding this radiant blue-green colored, tight curled leaf to my daily juice, and knowing all these terrific bits of information makes swallowing that Extra Deep Green tint So much easier.
Here is more knowledge...if you pour water on Kale you will find it is water resistance. Another cool thing about this leaf is it is packed with vitamin K so if your on blood thinners let your doctor know.
      The best thing about this excellent plant is One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus.How could you go wrong!!!

101st Zazzle Bay to Breakers

11 Days 4 Hours & Counting down

Are we ready? Well I am never ready I try though, just not as hard as I can. But I will finish slightly better than last year, maybe not by much ha ha ha

101^st  Zazzle Bay to Breakers  

Glady and I will be there with our shoes on. I know as last year I will regret not working harder to do better, but I continue to jog daily and eat less in hopes for last minute results.

The historic Zazzle Bay to Breakers is a USA Track and Field Certified 12k (7.46 miles).
From sea level at the Embarcadero the course rises steeply along the Hayes Street Hill. Around the 2.5-mile mark runners climb an 11.15% grade between Fillmore Street and Steiner Street. The remainder of the course gradually flows downhill alongside the Panhandle through Golden Park to the Finish Line at the Great Highway.
Don’t forget Glady!!! We also have a most likely 2 mile walk to our Metro/Muni ride back to the Hotel LOL!!!!
But we are going to have FUN!!! We will relax maybe eat at the Zazzle B2B Final Mile Activities

“The course will close at 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of JFK Drive and Chain of Lakes Drive in Golden Gate Park. Participants who have not passed the intersection of JFK and Chain of Lakes by 11:30a.m. will not have the opportunity to cross the finish line or collect a Finisher’s Medal. The finish line closes promptly at noon as stipulated by the race's road closure permit.”

We got there last TIME we will get there before TIME again!!!

Any How Can’t wait Going to be FUN!!! As long at the HOTEL room is roach free, LOL and gross people free Otherwise I might need to Open a Can of Whip Ass

Tomorrow I Jog

WALK  RUN  JOG  CRAWL

My Favorite thing about getting out there and moving is…

That feeling after you pushed and accomplished your task at hand. I find excitement looking forward to a run/walk or a new pair of shoes. I look forward to knowing I need to work for something and when I have success it was me.

     I can’t say I am having too much success with weight loss, but the more I run stay active the better chance I have in dropping pounds.

     Yes, I do have a training regimen, it is hard and with each week the miles increase. I can’t really say I like the long run, but I do LOVE that feeling when it is completed. Like I said before, I don’t feel like a “runner” but I do feel like a Fan. Being a fan gives me the desire to accomplish and expand my own PR. I get a thrill knowing I CAN walk/jog 5K in 47min for me this is amazing. I get a thrill knowing I CAN speed walk a 2K 15min and participate with a purpose. When I participate at the VA fun runs I get to generate donations for the Veterans here at the Fort.  I will never be an Olympic-Class Athlete, but I never had a desire to. Well, Okay maybe when I was 11. Anyhow I only want to improve my own Personal Record. I feel great! I get my motivation from my daughter. I get it from Runner’s World, Running TIMES, and Map my Run.

     I guess I am having a difficult time explaining the feeling I get going outside and moving miles behind me. I really don’t even mind the treadmill. Happy to have it around when it is 20 below 0 or Wow even ZERO really sucks. So the treadmill is a good friend.

     Tomorrow I walk/Jog 6.22 miles, in preparation for the Montana’s Governors Cup here in Helena.
