It has started! Whole 30 time! I would have put a few more exclamation points after that on Monday when I started. It is now day 4 and I am missing my comfort food. You know I never realized how many commercials on TV were for food. Did you know KFC came out with a new mashed potato bowl? And they added bacon?!! Come on now. You are killing me.
In all reality it has not been that hard. I've been preparing and planning my meals. The hardest part is not thinking about all the food I do not get to eat. Also, not loving vegetables already has been quite a challenge, since most of my meal is supposed to be vegetables. I am learning interesting ways to incorporate them into my meals. I eat a lot of spinach. It is pretty easy to eat that with almost everything. It is a lot of mental games. For now I am winning, but I hope it gets easier. I took my stats body weight, height, body fat percentage. I've never really cared about my weight, but I am interested in my body fat %. I started off at 18.8 % which is about average.I am interested in seeing the difference in results after the whole 30 is over.
As far as my running I ran the longest run ever , 16 miles, on Sunday. Yuck... let's just say that it was not the most fun run ever. But I did it, which is the important part. I may have walked more than I wanted, but I can improve. Josh, Ashley, and I are running the Houston 1/2 this weekend. I am really looking forward to that. It feels weird to say that my long run this week will only be 13.1 miles. Totally different outlook after running 14 and 16 miles. Plus, race days are fun!
I am still raising money for The Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. I am getting closer to my goal of $500 dollars. Please scroll down to my other posts to find the link to donate and read a little bit more about it.
