I am still not a runner....just a super long "walker". I am hoping when it gets cooler the running will pick up. <br /><br />AmyMyThoughtsExactlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288360008072635208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108329567256593818.post-30657130020732116852009-08-20T10:15:04.685-05:002009-08-20T10:15:04.685-05:00Hi Amy!
I discovered your posts at Biggest Loser....Hi Amy!<br /><br />I discovered your posts at Biggest Loser. I am a female runner in Texas but I can't say more here due to an Internet Stalker that even found out my work phone number and started calling me!<br /><br />It would be cool to meet you for a run someday. I haven't done a Half yet but I've been doing shorter runs for a lot of years now. I've read that doing longer distances in Houston is a great place to start due to flatness. I think the Half in Tyler or the Half in Huntsville would be nice.<br /><br />On your funky mood: Sometimes perfect eating with great blood sugar control leads to depletion of serotonin in the brain. For restoration of serotonin during sleep, there needs to be a particular amino acid circulating in the blood along with a decent insulin spike. The website of the woman who popularized this physiology is here: http://www.radiantrecovery.com/ <br /><br />I work hard at blood sugar control but when I find myself getting in a funk, I do the insulin spike thing described by Dr. DesMaisons plus I take 400 mg SAM-E and one tablet of St. John's Wort first thing in the morning. The funk sneaks up on me and I don't realize how bad it is until I've taken these two supplements for a day or two and get back to normal. (For readers who are under 40: You do not need SAM-E. It is a naturally existing chemical in our bodies that declines with age.) If you do try the two supplements, don't take the recommended second dose of St. John's Wort (breakfast dose and lunch dose) or you might not be able to sleep at night. I have tried taking 5HTP instead of doing the Dr. D's potato trick, but it gives me a serious headache - - - which of course means that it's working. <br /><br />I post on the Biggest Loser forum as AnnaRose, but that is not my real name. I can tell you my real name only via email if you are interested in becoming workout buddies.AnnaRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346539248466532337noreply@blogger.com
