I'm not very good at this blogging thing ... I never think I have anything interesting enough to say. But I'm not sure anyone is really reading this, so I'm just going to write about what's been going on lately. ;)
Mid-August I started working out with a "personal trainer". I put it in quotations, because while he is a personal trainer by trade and it does work us out, it's not what you would typically picture as a personal training relationship. That being said, he did give us some basic eating habits to change/abide by ... and basically he believes in the Paleo way of eating. For anyone who doesn't know, Paleo is also called the caveman diet, or hunter/gatherers diet. Basically they think you should eat the same way the cavemen did and that the reason why we get fat is because of processed foods/grains. Now I know this isn't really the whole concept, but I'm still learning myself. That being said, since I started this I have lost 7 lbs. Now, I know that's not a lot, but in the last week I've had at least a dozen people comment on my weight loss ... so apparently 7 lbs is enough that people are noticing. Also, because I'm not supposed to eat processed foods, including pasta, I've had to play with new recipes which I've really been enjoying. My husband doesn't really care about doing the Paleo thing, but he supports my decision. So basically, he'll eat what I'm eating, but only with me. Hahaha, so he's just maintaining, but he's been enjoying the recipes I've made. :)
So, I have 5 weeks until my half marathon ... my first one ever. Eek! I have not been training well either, but I love that the weather is turning more fall-like so I can run outside comfortably. Hopefully the weather change will entice me to run more and follow a schedule. I'm so nervous, but super excited as well. It's an international half marathon, where we cross into Canada and back ... so cool!
Okay ... I guess I am boring, because I have nothing else to write right now. But maybe I'll write sooner next time.
Cheers!
