So I had to adjust my weekly schedule a bit.... That means half marathon training starts today! I went to CrossFit last night instead of running (made everything fit together more easily). MY QUADS ARE SO SORE. We did a ridiculous amount of different types of squats last night. Front squats, overhead squats, etc etc. I'll go for a 3 mile run today, and we have our first playoff volleyball game tonight!! We're in 1st place again, so hopefully we WIN!!!!

I am back on the minimal process carbs diet. I really did notice I felt so much better when I was following this consistently. Even with only doing it for two weeks, I could notice that my 'pouch' on my stomach was shrinking.. Which I have been trying FOREVER to have happen! So I'm back on the horse!! And once this whole life challenge rolls around, I'll be in it full swing.

I'm curious how I'm going to feel with my half marathon training and no carb intake. I might have to adjust my diet to have a small carb intake the day before a long run, rather than my carb intake be at zero. When the time comes, I'll have to start playing with that a little bit to find a good balance.

On a personal note, it's been a whole month since BF moved to California. I can't believe it. Because we promised we'd see each other once a month.... that means he'll be back in Philadelphia in 2 days and 13 hours :) Not that I'm counting or anything! He'll be here for the whole Labor Day weekend, and to celebrate my birthday a little early. He said he got me something small, but my big present is being saved for when I go out to California over Columbus Day weekend. I'm so impatient!!! I wish he would tell me what we're doing.

I'm taking off work on Friday to spend the day with him, so this week should fly by! I hope everyone else has a quick week too!
