Started out with a bowl of chobani strawberry, cereal, banana, wheat germ and peanut butter.
Body:
Run Outside! I ran around a lake that is about 1 mile from our house- the trail on it is 2.92 miles and has three insane hills! I ran around it once, then went to the first hill and back- so it was total 4.5 miles!
Before that, Jeff and I washed both of our vehicles which was definitely sweat worthy.
I wish I had Jillian’s Shred video already so that I could get started but at least it is building anticipation and motviation for when it arrives.
Mind:
Study study study. Here are only a few of the study guide questions along with my answers, I thought blogland would find some of it interesting. Enjoy!
- Recall a source of gelatin.
- collagen from hide, connective tissue (animal sources)
- Identify the three phases of gel formation
- 1. discontinous phase (dispersed)
- 2.continuous phase (dispersion)
- 3. emulsifier/stabilizer
- Predict the cause(s) of a breaking emulsion.
- heat
- enzymes
- Temporary emulsion: doesn’t hold together for long time periods (italian vinegarete dressings)
- Semi-permanent emulsion: has intermediate viscosity ( french salad dressing)
- Permanent emulsions: product does not separate (mayonnaise)
- Recall the number of fruit/vegetables recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for America
- 5-9 servings daily
- Define a fruit and classify by simple, aggregate and multiple.
- Fruits develop from the flower of a plant
- simple fruits: only 1 flower is developed
- drupes ( fruit with seed encased in a pit, examples: peach, plum, cherry)
- pomes (fruit with seeds in central core, ex.: apples)
- aggregate fruits: several ovaries in 1 flower
- ex.: rasbperries, strawberries
- multiple fruits: cluster of several flowers
- ex.: pineapple , figs
- Recall the composition of and function of fruit compounds
- Tomato was ruled “vegetable” in 1893 by US Supreme Court because taxes were different for vegetables than they were for fruits! Botanically however, a tomato is a fruit.
- Nuts are also fruits: they are the seed instead of the flesh.
- Rhubarb is a vegetable, but treated as fruit
- Organic acids are volatile and lost during heating, and also nonvolatile which can leach out while cooking.
- pectins: are polysaccharides found in fruit that contribute as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer and add body or cloudiness.
- phenolic compounds: aromatic ring structures that contribute to enzymatic browning when fruit is exposed to oxygen.
- Identify types and properties of potatoes used in potato lab recipes
- russet potatoes: used for baking, frying and some mashing. “Mealy” texture because they are higher in starch.
- red potatoes: used for mashing or steaming or salad/soup, often higher in moisture than russets.
- yukon gold: waxy in texture, very high in moisture, mashing best.
- Differentiate between true cereals and pseudo cereals and give examples
- true cereals are the edible seeds of grasses high in carbohydrate ( wheat, corn…)
- psuedo cereals are not grasses ( broadleaf plant, amaranth and quinoa) and are higher in protein ( and contain the amino acid lysine)
- Recall difference (origin and nutritive) between table, kosher, and sea salt
- table: fine granules
- Sea: larger irregular granules, from sea beds
- Kosher: directly from sea or rock beds ( has same amount of sodium than others weight by weight, but contains other minerals as well so by volume has less sodium)
- Identify effects of salt as a flavor enhancer
- it decreases bitter, sour and metallic tastes
- enhances sweetness and saltiness.
Okay, hope you enjoyed the studying! Like I said, that is only a few of the questions for our study guide, probably 1/4 of the exam material. So this helped me by having to write (type) it all out!
Soul:
I didn’t make the drive to the beach… BUT….
Jeff and I ran to the store, got batteries, and got a tail-light for my car ( which broke on friday!) and then washed both of our cars, fixed my taillight, replaced the smoke alarm battery ( which had been beeping at me for two days) and then I decided to go with Jeff and our friends to (Jeff’s ) Nana’s at the lake!
My run outside was PHENOMENAL! I will recap my eats on the next post!
Faaabulous run!!

Great run! The weather has been amazing. I am going to run outside tonight and I cannot wait. I may also wash my car (you reminded me how dirty it is ;). Have a good Monday
Just reading your study guide almost gave me a nosebleed. I’ve been out of school for too long.
I’m glad you had a good run! The weather was fantastic π
congrats on a great run! thanks so much for all your sweet comments – I am ecstatic to be working…. something is infinitely better than nothing =)
