You Should Read These Articles… because I said so
November 20, 2007
I try to read a million articles and blog about them every week, but the backup is just ridiculous. My new solution is to just give you a list of articles that I think are great and suggest that you read them.
So here are my picks for this week…so far:
>> 20 worst foods in America – Slashfood
>> White or Dark Meat Debate – NY Times
>> 15 Tips to Restart the Exercise Habit – Lifehack
I won’t bombard you with more than 3 for the moment! Happy Thanksgiving! ~amy
On My Bad Side
November 16, 2007
Someone please help me figure out how the healthcare system works. So I take pretty good care of myself and always go to the doctor for annual physicals. Part of that exam includes labwork to make sure everything is working correctly. Very proactive, right? So then please explain why my insurance will only cover a portion of those tests, a very small portion. I’m a little peeved about having to pay for gym memberships because I feel that it is also proactive but I’m willing to foot that bill. But seriously, my insurance will cover more on a triple bypass than on checking my cholesterol on an annual basis.  I think that pretty much sums up my feelings about how I feel society deals with issues. We are always taking the shortcuts but then scrambling to undo the damage that we’ve done. So until there is a solution, I’m going to continue to pay hundreds of dollars every year in fees, labs, etc to attempt to maintain my health. Good plan, great motivation, BCBS.

Adjust to Daylight Savings Time
November 12, 2007
This week is a special episode because it focuses on well-being. Being healthy and happy is more than just the gym and your diet, its what you spend your weekends doing and being with people you enjoy. We spent some time at the Elizabeth Street Brewery and the owner gave us some insight as to how it all started. It is our final week with Trainer Tom and we top it off with CoverGirl and a fair weather reminder.

The Guys Across The Hall…
November 9, 2007
Before I was Amy Mac, I lived across the hall from these 2 cute, athletic and funny guys. One was a rower at Purdue who would later become my husband and the other was a hardcore ROTC Army Ranger, Tim. Through the course of the first couple weeks that we were neighbors, we had established open door policies, open refrigerator policies and group TV and movie schedules set with military precision. There was just something about the 4 of us that clicked and we even eventually added a couple other guys down the hall. Overall, it was the best year of my Purdue days!
All these things have been sitting in a happy memory place for years and have resurfaced due to Tim being killed in Iraq last week. I could carry on for hours about the things we said and did but instead I’m just going to give the highlights as they are in my mind.
There was the Friday nights when both our significant others were out of town and he would make me dinner and we would watch movies (mostly Army movies…Full Metal Jacket, Patton, etc) until the early hours of the morning or until we fell asleep on the couch. The time we built a fort in Brooke’s and my living room and he painted us in full camo – it is the only way to do the fort thing right. Tim showing me the engagement ring he was going to give to his girlfriend and being so excited and eager for approval – it was beautiful and she said ‘yes.’
His 21st birthday when his friends returned him to the building in a not-so-great state and after taking eyeliner and drawing all over his face, I stayed up and watched him all night to make sure he was ok. Taking me jogging and carrying on with the Ranger cadences the whole time to keep me motivated – I still use them when I’m not in the mood to do cardio. Insisting that I needed to learn self-defense and then teaching me – that was a rough couple of weeks! Him and Chris making Thanksgiving dinner, making Brooke and I ‘formal’ dinners and being there to help clean up when I had a tiny kitchen explosion. There was also the night that I accompanied his best friend to the Army Battalion Ball and we doubled with him and Julie.
There are just so many things that we shared as friends and I know that he died doing what he loved and believed in. I did not feel strong enough to go to the service today, my husband went and said that it was amazing (Chris’s post). Tim would not have wanted it to be a big deal but you just can’t have someone that wonderful go without a proper celebration of his life. I am lucky to have him as part of my life both in person and in memories and I look forward to going home over the holidays and going through all our pictures.
Love you lots Tim! Thank you for letting me be your friend, it’s an honor.

So…for those missing me or curious… I give you my appearance on Brandon the PodShow Intern’s Super Music Video Show.
