Why Drink Green Tea?
| September 9, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Eating |
I can’t stand green tea; it tastes like ass to me. Matter of fact, I’m not really a big fan of herbal tea. I LOVE my tea British style: black tea, with cream and sugar. While drinking black tea does have its benefits (antioxidants, reduced risk for heart disease), I know I should try to drink more green tea. Why?: Green tea has catechins (antioxidants) that hunt free radicals which damage DNA, and can cause cancer and blood clots The… Continue Reading

Eating Banana Fritters Takes Me Back Home
| September 8, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Homemade Goodness |
I love love love banana fritters! Banana fritters are sorta really thin pancakes; they are much smaller and thinner and don’t have in as many ingredients. They go great with a real Antiguan breakfast of sal’fish (salted codfish) and chop-up (spinach done up). Or have them as a sweet treat with your lunch Don’t feel guilty eating them: they’ve got very little flour and sugar and very little fat (no oil, butter, etc). I could have added other stuff to… Continue Reading
Why Do My Muscles Hurt After a Workout?
| September 8, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Workouts |
DOMS is why. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) would be why your ass muscles hurt after doing dead-lifts or hamstring curls, or it would be why it hurts to turn the steering wheel after a bicep workout, or it would be why it sucks to bend and look in the fridge after a lower back workout. It is muscle pain/soreness that you feel 12-48 hours after exercising, especially if you’re just starting a workout program, if you’ve exerted yourself more… Continue Reading

Consumer Reports Test Protein Shakes: This Isn’t Good
| September 3, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Eating |
After tweeting that I was about to drink a Muscle Milk Light, FitYoginiRunner responded with a link to her blog post and a Consumer Reports article on the possible dangers of consuming protein shakes/powders. According to their tests, many of the popular protein products contain above the allowable levels of arsenic, lead, and cadmium. Here is FitYogini’s post and here is the Consumer Reports article. I use or have used three of the brands listed, which freaks me out. Protein… Continue Reading
The Toe Shoes Venture Outdoors
| September 2, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Gear, Injuries, Running |
I know, I know….I’ve never taken my toe shoes outside? I do my p90x in my carpeted apartment in my toe shoes and so didn’t want to take them outdoors (the thought of outside germs in my apt icks me out). But I grew a pair and took them out on Friday. It was so odd feeling the ground underneath…every crack and crevice. I did feel super-light though. Then on Monday, I went jogging in them aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, I like! I… Continue Reading
Feeling Uber Wobbly
| September 2, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Lazy, Wobbly-Bits |
I was away visiting my grandmother for a few days and I only exercised for one of those days :-/ Pretty sad, I know. But, in my half-assed defense, I also didn’t just sit on my ass. I did a TON walking around NYC with my family and friends. The one day I did exercise, I went to Central Park. I started at one end (59th St), walked to around 70th St, then jogged to the other end at 110th… Continue Reading
