Whole30 Countdown-6 days

Six days, so I've decided to count down.
I swear to Dog, the things getting me through this besides my two awesome friends is chia pudding and pumpkin custard. If not for them, I would have said "fuck it!" long ago.

Still enjoying how I feel and how I'm sleeping. Feel lighter and more awake, no run-down days anymore. So I've got to figure things out because I'm NOT doing this forever.

To anyone entering the hell that is Whole30, get yourself a support network! That will make ALL the difference. I just have two friends doing it with me and we formed a secret Facebook group and we usually report in every day. We post recipes and just encourage. Oh, and Pinterest! Having a variety of foods will save your life, trust me.

So, six more days!

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.
