Today is my running day. I am planning on going running after part 2 of my interview today to blow off some steam. How I don't want to go to the interview let me count the ways... running even sounds better.
One thing about running... once you start doing it you feel like you can do anything. I mean, what more is there after running? Running is the age old exercise that people dread... so once you conquer your fear of it going to work out is nothing!
In other news, I have been flittering around twitter this morning and have come across two interesting articles. The first was about high fructose corn syrup. I don't know if any of you have seen the commercial by the Corn Refiners Association, but it basically is trying to put everyone's fear of HFCS as myth. They basically make it seem as if there is nothing wrong with eating HFCS as long as you have it in moderation. True, you can probably have HFCS once in awhile... but that doesn't change the fact that it is not good for you. And now studies have shown that HFCS is worse for you than real sugar... so you might as well just go with the real sugar. Here is the article if you feel like checking it out for yourself. http://bit.ly/c0fVll
The other article that I read I just found humorous. Basically someone decided to do a study on the painting The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci and compare the portion sizes in the painting to the people eating it. My first thought on this was, how is this relevant to obesity studies? I don't know what these people were inspired by but it seems a strange thing to do. I find it funny that at the end of the article a scientist basically says himself that there really is no relevance to the study. Who knew, right? ;)http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_med_last_supper_obesity
In other news, last night when I couldn't sleep I decided to try and do some research on programs to get my personal training certification. You wouldn't believe the amount of places there are. It is extremely confusing and no one really has a definitive answer as to which one is the best. Basically it looks like I am going to want to find one that is NCCA-accredited. The National Academy of Sports Medicine is looking promising... but it is expensive. I figure for the time being I will work on motivating myself and getting myself into shape. Then once I have raised enough money to fund it and have figured out where I am going to get my personal trainer certification, I will go for it.
This blog is no lie people! I am the plump trainer and I will get there! :)
Well, I should get some lunch. Eventually I am going to try and figure out a way to record visually and textually in some type of grid format what I am eating. For now, though, we will stick with the blogs!
