Day 4 on Whole 30 - or affectionately referred to as the PALEO THANG!
This is my first blog ever so be kind and gentle with me please. So I found this group of Barbell babes on facebook because my friend Maggie added me. Everyone in the group was doing this Paleo reset for 30 days. So of course I totally caved in to peer pressure and decided to do it too. Just kidding of course. I never usually follow the pack, preferring to pioneer my own course of action. But these girls seemed pretty determined and dedicated and they all were doing it. So why the heck not? It is only for 30 days and I needed to try something different to kick start some changes with my body. You should probably know that after a major disaster in my love life I fell into a terrible depression and gained a bunch of weight. Sob story over, no more feeling sorry or crying wah wah wah. I'm over it. So let's move on. The first thing I did was to join Weight watchers. Dropped 30 pounds. Done. Check. Finito! Next, I started back with cardio and hitting it pretty hard. Running. Zumba. Hip Hop dance. More running. Running with the dog and running in the dark at 4:30 and 5:00 AM. Running all over the streets of Paris mainly to keep warm. With exercise induced asthma it was a complete shock to me to find out that I could run 5 miles in 63 minutes. But after all of that running, what do you expect? I'm at about 11 minutes per mile on a good run day. That is nothing to brag about, but for me with asthma hindering everything, it is a huge accomplishment. And (this is said in a hushed voice).....I like to run! WTF?
