Yesterday's 2 mile run felt absolutely fantastic! I even managed to climb the long hill at a decent pace managing a 11:35 first mile pace and 11:58 second mile. That time will eventually come down as I get back into the groove of running.
Cycling and running seem to use different muscle groups, so I am almost starting over here. The good thing is that I identified some muscles during my biking days that I am lazy about using while running. I engaged those leg muscles yesterday and discovered that they propelled me forward up and down hills more efficiently.
Today is strength training. I've only got 30 minutes, so maybe I'll try to get in 10 minutes of arms core and legs. I usually neglect the strength training, but this is what I'm missing. I feel that by getting stronger I will be able to break out of a strong jog and into a competitive run. I looked over my pace break down for last year's 13.1 and saw that my pace in mile 3 was 10:00. I want to see 9's this year.
I brought an extra snack today since yesterday left me famished around 4pm. I've got a volunteer committment at 6, and they feed us. I'm hoping for enough vegan options that I don't have to go vegetarian tonight. It's not my cheat day and I want to save that for later in the week.
I'm becoming very interested in the Raw Til 4 lifestyle, but I've got to see if I can stock enough fruits and veggies in my budget. Thank God for the farmer's market, but what is the best way to get out there and back. C'mon tax refund check; Momma needs some money :)

I made it through the Daniel Fast! Don't worry, I allowed myself to feel disappointed and embarrassed about the meager weight loss yesterday. Today, I'm just ready to keep moving forward. I am still committed to dietary veganism, and I'm happy to add back in things that I forsook on the Daniel fast like juice, bread, and sugar (all in moderation).
I learned so much about my body while I was on the fast. First, it called to my attention all of the mindless eating I had been doing. My body was literally triggering me to eat when I didn't really need to eat. Second, I learned that I don't need coffee, and there a is a difference between natural energy and the nervous energy provided by caffeine. I learned that I am a slave to the scale. I learned that I don't need meat protein to balance my blood sugar. I learned that I was defficent in a few key nutrients that are needed for good digestion. Last, I learned that I could be an athletic vegan.
My body did change. I am currently sitting here with my blazer buttoned without strain around my middle. Friday, I was able to tighten my belt to the next notch. Last week, I noticed bagginess in my pants. I have not exprienced symptoms of my hypoglcyemia with the exception of one morning when I didn't eat properly the night before. My digestion is regular!
Yesterday, I enjoyed my cheat day. I went to my favorite bakery for brunch and had their french toast, grits with jalepeno cheese, and a cup of fruit with a decaffeinated coffee. I drank that big ol' coffee with just three packs of sugar! I tossed in maybe a tsp or two of cream.
So, my next weigh-in will be February 1, then not again until February 28.

I had an excellent run yesterday! I was prepared to run , but wasn't prepared to run outside in the cooler weather. So I hit the treadmill which I don't normally like to do.
After achieving my goal in 2014 of running an entire half-marathon with a average pace under 12 minutes per mile, this year I want to increase my speed to an average pace under 11 minutes. I've got 12 weeks to work on it. So, with the accomplishment of enduring the entire race under my belt, I have nothing to fear in regards to not finishing. I will be pushing myself.
On the treadmill yesterday, I started out at a 12 minute pace and with each new song I increased the pace one notch until I got to 10:57. I think I will continue with one treadmill day a week and use it as my speed day. Each time, I will start faster than the time before.
Today, I can celebrate making it to a new notch in my belt! That's exciting! Can't wait to weigh in Sunday morning. I've decided on my cheat meal. I'm going to my favorite brunch spot and having their signature french toast and a side of fruit with some decaf coffee. If I'm feeling further adventurous, I'll treat myself to a gelato in the evening.
An update on the Magnesium supplement and probiotic. Yesterday, I went three times. Is this normal, or do I need to cut back a little?

Okay, blood sugar is running a little low this morning. I can tell by the slight headache, slight nausea, slightly blurry vision in right eye. I woke up super hungry. But, it could be because I had an almost non-existent amount of carbs at dinner - complex or otherwise.
That wasn't intended. I was just so hungry when I got home that I stirfried a skillet full of herbs and vegetable, and I had a small amount of tofu that hadn't had time to soak up any flavor. Note to self: don't do that again.
Anywho, weight has be lost folks! I'm wearing a pair of tights that have a leather look in the front and they fit like they did at 185. When I wore them out on NYE, I was afraid that the leather look was going to stretch and crack like pleather used to back in the day. It did a little bit, but it's not that noticeable.
I did catch a glimpse of myself naked this morning. The trick is not to get to close. I could see a difference when standing back, but getting closer to the mirror allows me to scrutinize my flaws and they all meld together with the extra weight into one big shame ball.
I've eaten my oatmeal while typing this, and I'm glad to report that vision has improved and I'm feeling much better. I brought my gear clothes today and I'm ready for another run. I'll start the 16-week 13.1 training program Saturday.

Yesterday, I got super and abnormally hungry close to quitting time. I took an extra apple with me on the way home, and challenged myself to see how long I could go without eating it. I made it home, but because I didn't eat the apple I ate too much lentil/spinach stew. Lesson learned...eat the apple.
At lunch time today, I will go on my first run of 2015. It will just be to the store and back, but I'm nervous about running while vegan.
I know, I know, I've been living on a whole-food, plant-based plan for more than two weeks. I've been biking on that same plan. But, six years ago, when I was running a circuit of long distance races and was in the best shape of my adult life, that is when my health broke.
My blood sugar has been completely fine this month. Yet, I am afraid that this will be another way of eating that can't hold up the fickle nature of my body. Guess, I'll just have to go out there and see, but I'm still scared of failure...of disappointment.
On another note, I still look the same to myself when I'm naked. However, I look like I've lost a few pounds when I'm clothed. So, I shall stop looking at myself naked for the time being.
I am really excited about being vegan! As I continue to do research, I see more and more people like me who are already succeeding as vegans. I'm ravenous for blogs and success stories. They help me get through the daily challenges (that are mostly mental) that I go through.
Sunday, is my weigh in and my cheat day. I've been considering what I will eat. I have no desire for meat, so what will it be?
