"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I
don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my
life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car
with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night
laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want
to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe
tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and
I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad He gave life to
someone who loves the gift." --Shauna Neiquist

Times Are Changin'

October:


- had strep throat twice
- rough menstrual cycle (late)
- accidentally decreased thyroid hormone dose (ooops!)
- completed weeks 1-4 of the c25k program
- worked the heavy bag 2-3x a week
- ate between 1300 and 1700 calories per day (with the exception of few untracked days when I was sick...not sure about my intake during those times.)
- protein intake extremely low every day (non-soy vegan with reduced cals is TOUGH on protein)
-  no weight training
- ZERO pounds lost



November:


I'm ready to put the month of October behind me. What a frustrating few weeks I've had! It's time to move past the difficulties and focus on the positives. I definitely did a lot of great things for my body this month and I refuse to take that away from myself just because the scale isn't moving. My health and wellness are about so much more than any single number. That said, I really REALLY hope some of these changes I'm implementing for the month of November result in a loss. A girl can dream, right? :)

- increase protein to levels recommended for very active lifestyles
- eat small meals every 3 hours (roughly 1500 cals)
- maintain proper hormone doses EVERY DAY
- increase water again
- add weight training 2-3 days a week
- finish weeks 5-8 of c25k (woo hoo!!!)
- HIDE THE SCALE!! And no peeking, either. :D
