NON-GMO: Learning about Canola Oil

I am a person that respects the idea of NON-GMO foods but in practice falls short of being a true follower. Budget, time and a whole bucket of other excuses kept me from really starting to dig into the subject. Just like anything, the more I learn the more I find that I need to know. Its going to be a process but I figured I would share what I have found so far.

STUDIES UPDATE: The road to success is never a straight line.

As some in my inner-circle know, at the age of 40 I decided to go back to school and pursue a new career. My guess is that there are others that are my age and who are not only making the same decision but also thinking about moving into the same field. I figure that an update once and a while on my trials and tribulations might be interesting So from time to time I will post on what is going on.

Today was a Slip-n-Slide workout:

Had a busy and eventful morning but was able to squeeze in Warrior Conditioning Class with MH.  We started out with a mile sprint that I was able to keep it under 9 minutes. I am working on getting it under 8. After that we moved back to the Dojo and started some CrossFit inspired kettle bell upper body workout stuff. Near the end MH had us do this cool exercise that was plank based. Basically you were in plank and then you kicked out a leg and go up on your fingers in various sequences. I really liked it but I kept on slipping on the mat (lot of sweat).

This mornings weigh-in was good. Only 2 lbs from my next milestone. For me a mile stone is every 10 lbs. My original goal had me at one more mile stone for a total of 12 more lbs to loose. Will decide what I want to do after that.  I have been working hard on building muscle mass and over all conditioning so the weight hasn't come off the scale as quickly as I wanted it to.  The good news is that I can really see the results in my measurements. So if I was going to give any advice on weight loss, it would be to measure yourself in multiple ways. (Weight, measurements, fit).

The Science of the Über Napping

I take power naps to extend my energy and day. It gives myself more time to practice becoming Übermensch! My goal is to obtain a strong mind and body from 4:00 am to 10:00 pm every day.
