Juneathon Done. On to Whole 30!

I did forget to post and blog about it, but I did complete Juneathon! Yay!

Some things I learned:

1) Changing eating habits isn't enough, at least for me. The extra activity had to happen to really feel the difference.

2) That being said, increased activity made me want to make better food choices.

3) I now know (mostly) which foods I need to avoid because they make me feel bloated and awful. I figured this out mainly due to the increased activity.

So I'm going to try to keep up the daily activity, now that I'm used to it. But this month I'm also adding Whole30!

Going to try to remember to blog pretty regularly about that experience.

Since I'm in Day 3, I'm already behind. Suffice to say, I've got the Kindle version of the book, picked up Eat The Yolks at the library and I'm reading. The great thing is, I'm already paleo, so a lot of this stuff is just paleo when I do it right.

Mistakes I've made: Wine yesterday. Sugar in my coffee yesterday. Bread yesterday.

Technically, I'm supposed to start over. So call today Day One, I guess. So far, no slips. :)

Wildfire Secrets

Recently, because of an incredibly supportive significant other, I've started coming to terms with what it has meant in my life to be the daughter of a mother with severe mental illness, to be the sister of a woman with multiple handicaps, to be a smarter-than-average girl/woman, to be a girl/woman who had a lot of secrets, mostly family ones that she was expected to keep, to be a girl/woman who was bullied for being smart and/or less than attractive, to be a girl/woman who became "attractive" late in life and what that means in our society, and so many other things that I just thought I had to live with and didn't talk about it. And now I've been given permission to talk about it, and think about it, and admit it to myself, and bring it to light so it can die a healthy death. And I'm terrified. I'm terrified because I'm afraid of becoming that person who is defined by her problems. I'm afraid of being seen as a victim. I'm afraid of saying ...

Juneathon Day 16 and running thoughts

Did the Couch to 10K, Week 5, Day 2. There's a pretty significant jump in running time and I was a little worried. Going to 8 minutes at a time seemed a leap I couldn't keep up with. But I did! And it felt pretty good. It helps that the beginning of my run is more downhill and then the last part is uphill. Sounds weird, but it seems like the easier run gets me warmed up for the tough one and I'm able to get through it better. Anyway, Week 5 is almost in the bag and then there's the Week 6 jump. Ugh.
