Continued Progress

Its been about three weeks since I started training and I am happy to say it is going pretty well.  I'm not perfectly consistent with my plan, but with two kids rigid consistency is never going to be something I strive for.  What I do strive for is making sure I get in the right number of workout, even if they are not exactly when I planned to do them.   The trick is not to let one missed workout stop me from not going out again the next day. I am modifying but I keep going.  For example, thursday I had planned on getting up and heading for a morning spinning class, but the munchkin crawled into bed with me and was deep asleep- on my chest, about 15 minute before I needed to leave.  I didn't have the heart to wake him up and bring him to grandma.  He'd be upset and grouchy and it really wasn't worth the potential grumpy start to the day.  So instead when he finally work up about a half hour later the kiddos went to grandma and I went to the basement for a 7 mile cycle and 3 mile run.  It wasn't  what I planned but it was still good.

Food-wise I'm feeling really proud.  I've stuck with the Whole30 for the last 17 days.  I did have a couple not quite on plan bites but nothing that completely derailed me.  I forgot to tell a restaurant to leave pesto off an omelet, so I ate maybe a tablespoon of that, and I didn't ask another restaurant if their bacon had added sugar.  I'm not going to lose sleep over it.  Other than that I have been compliant and feel awesome.  There is definitely a change to my taste buds.  I'm not craving super sweet foods.  I am totally satisfied with a piece of fruit. Apples taste amazing!

It is a lazy sunday morning, the bean is asleep on me and the munchkin is watching Curious George.   It is beautiful out so pretty soon we will need to get outside!  I'm hoping for a 4 mile run today.

63 Days until the race!
