hang on and enjoy this week's three randoms!
Paleo Progress....As I mentioned last week, I joined in on a Paleo 30 Day Challenge at work. I really like the way that I feel eating this way. I feel much lighter and the scale is showing it too...I lost 4lbs last week! Other than that I really feel like this is a way of eating that I can continue even beyond the 30 days. The only struggle I continue to have is what to eat before the long run. This week I ate a banana and almond butter but about half way through the run I felt the gas gague hit empty...I'll try again this weekend!
Weather Woes...March is that funky month where Spring is knocking on the door but Winter is not ready to give up the fight. I feel like the weather people keep swearing at me every time they say that 4-letter word....you know what it is...s-n-o-w. I think I can speak for many New Englanders when I say...."I'm ready for Spring!" While I'm thankful that this storm is bringing us buckets of rain and whipping winds, I'm all set with this weather!
Virtual Love...No I don't mean the Catfish kind, I mean the virtual race kind! There are three races coming up that I wanted to give you a heads up on! Ali Mc, Jill, and Jess are all hosting virtual races this month so click away and sign yourself up! They all have awesome prizes and Ali Mc even has a super fun photo contest!!
WTG with the Paleo challenge! Snowed in yesterday...spring please!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out!
I am going to give Paleo a try, I think. Glad to hear you are liking it!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at CATFISH.
ReplyDeleteI do love me some NEV...
That 4 letter word needs to stay away! Super windy here and no snow so far. Fingers, toes and legs crossed it stays that way!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the weight loss! I am going to have to check out one of these virtual races since I am doing 13 in 2013 and need a March race!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that the Paleo challenge is going so well and you've dropped a few pounds with it. We had snow flurries here and snow over the weekend which I know is nothing compared to what you guys have had but it's still not fun.
ReplyDeleteI am not digging this weather. Snow go away.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you on the weather - so over it already!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Paleo Challenge. I've thought about trying it but the whole fueling a run has me a little nervous.
Oh yes, thanks for the virtual run reminder! As for long runs and paleo, you should check out Paleo for Athletes. (Or email me and I'll send you mine to borrow if you want!) I'm not a paleo eater, but really enjoyed it... and long story short, it basically said endurance athletes do need some additional carbs before/after a long sustained workout, but then can get right back to Paleo.
ReplyDeleteThe pre-run fueling is definitely a struggle. Energy balls made with dates have been working well for me. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work with Paleo! I love that you've lost some weight with it. And I love those virtual races! I'm doing all three too!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for the jelly bean half. HAve you see the medal? super cute!!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for all 3 too:) Hoping the snow stays away and way to go on the 4lbs.!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the Paleo and the FOUR LBS! Keep up the good work! I am doing Jill's run and can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThегe's certainly a lot to find out about this issue. I like all the points you made.
