Exercise- I ran 3 miles in less than 40 min. My heart rate was not through the roof either. It felt so good!
Food- For lunch I had left overs of the mostly organic chicken curry. Snack was toast with my almond butter. Dinner- I ventured out with a recipe for tempeh bacon from Matt at the Athlete's plate. I made a sandwich with cheese and avocado. It was really tasty. My kids tried a bite and asked for more too!! It feels good to be eating better and my kids are liking it too.
I talked a lot today with my friends at work about the eating change. I am happy to have their support. One of them already eats a lot like I want to. The other, like me, is making small changes toward it. I am loving finding new sources of inspiration and hopefully can become an inspiration to others.
I am addicted to another blog- hungryrunnergirl I am totally loving reading through her archives. I love her realistic approach to eating. She eats what she likes, luckily it's mostly healthy stuff. If she wants candy or other sweets, she eats them too. It's all in moderation and she works out HARD! I also love her pictures because she's always cheesing for the camera.
I feel really happy and at peace today. I really love my life. I think that everything is coming together. It's about to get crazy, but I think that it will be a lot of fun. If anything I will have a many stories that start out with "You remember that one time where I thought I could work full time, go to school full time, raise two kids on my own, take one of them to football and soccer and still try to have a life?"
You inspire me! First the c25k and now I'm getting the kick in the pants to buy healthier and better for you foods.
