I was looking up at the night sky the other night before the rain we’ve had the past few days rolled in. I found my favorite constellation, Orion, right off the bat. After which I closed my eyes and tried to erase the thought of looking for star patterns in the sky. I opened my eyes again and wondered at the vastness of the universe I reside in. Each star twinkling in its own individuality, seemingly small as a reflection here on earth, yet I know the huge energy and light it is in its own galaxy. Much like people. Caught up in everyday life, paying bills, commuting to and from work, the sun rising and setting on each day leaving us feeling like not much more than a twinkle. What we forget is that beyond those everyday things we get lost in, we have so much power and energy to be and change so many things! We are presented with opportunities to shine every day. These opportunities can be as big as donating time to a shelter or as little as a simple smile to someone who is having a bad day. We are all peices of a puzzle. And like with any puzzle one missing peice leaves the whole picture incomplete. Live and do the day to day things that are necessary, but don’t forget about others, don’t forget about yourself, and most of all take time to look up.

Much love to all! Keep up the good work!

I had a great day with my diet and exercise the past few days. My gluten episode is behind me, I am re-hydrated and ready to roll again. Sunday night I ran sprints and felt like I could go on forever. Yesterday I woke early had a small meal and did cardio then I worked out late last night. I am back on the Thyrotabs after taking the recommended break. I think they began working faster this time. I am sweating immensely durning my workouts and even having to take the covers off at night because I am getting overheated. Thyrotabs work by increasing your core temperature and from what I see they most definitely have increased my core temperature.

God bless!

I had started feeling unwell beginning mid week last week and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. My diet was tight and consisted of only fresh unprocessed foods but yet I was exhibiting symtoms of a gluten reaction (I have Celiac disease). I had began taking a Citrulene Malate supplement manufactured locally and suggested by a friend but didn’t put two and two together until Tuesday when I became VERY ill. I had used the supplement that morning before my leg workout and by the end of the day, my whole body was swollen, my abdomen was distended, and I had a terrible upset stomach. The manufacturer has yet to return my phone call to tell me if their product contains wheat. My guess is YES it does. Some supplement companies are now including allergen statements on the label but ALL of them should. I have kept with my lifting routine but eliminated cardio until my energy comes back.

Best wishes to all!
