Thursday...it was the day after Wednesday, the day after I had pushed myself a bit farther than usual. Every few months or so I'll get a yearning to try my hand at a solo sprint triathlon, meaning that I attempt the distances at a local gym to check out my current level of conditioning. Well, … Continue reading Paleo Day 11…Workout Recovery and Minor Ethnic Cheats

Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats
Had a pretty awesome day in terms of energy level. Again I was reluctant to head out for my back to back to back workout with GU so I tried a little experiment and took along three bananas. I downed the first one right before swimming, the second one after my swim, and my third … Continue reading Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats
Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left
So after what turned out to be more of a cheat day than a cheat meal, I set about my Monday to go back to my usual staple of veggies and fish. Monday started harmlessly enough with leftover curries from the weekend. Most of the broth remained but the bulk of the veggies were gone, … Continue reading Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left
Paleo Day 5…Where Are The Seasonings?
So I never disputed the fact that paleo feels pretty natural...but I think today was the day I finally stopped thinking about it. (Is it becoming a habit yet?!) I started the morning with my usual egg white scramble and fruit, but wanted to do something a little special for Shant. It was Friday, after … Continue reading Paleo Day 5…Where Are The Seasonings?
Paleo Day 3…Need to Hunt Down Some Recipes
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I never bother with a whole lot of preparation unless I have some company. Don't these veggies look bright and yummy?! They were as tasty as they look. Also cooked up some home fries. It was a nice addition to the egg white scramble. As you can … Continue reading Paleo Day 3…Need to Hunt Down Some Recipes

My Birthday Wish, My Team on TV, Compromise, And More…
So far I've totally failed at my resolution to run twice this week before the long run. I aimed to run last night, and again this morning, and again during the day...and it didn't happen. Going to aim to run at least a few miles tomorrow before my internship and to run again on Friday … Continue reading My Birthday Wish, My Team on TV, Compromise, And More…
Happy Runniversary to Me!
It's my runniversary, y'all! I think it was last February 2nd or 3rd that I made the decision to begin running and I haven't looked back since. Based on the cobwebs in my RunKeeper profile and blog, you might've thought that I've fallen off the face of the Earth. To the theories or speculation of … Continue reading Happy Runniversary to Me!
Staying Busy During The First Week of 2012
This first week of the new year is surely a sign of things to come. I started my first week of massage therapy school and it was pretty intense. The day after Christmas, I drove over to Redondo Beach and enrolled at Alta Massage College. This week I clocked 21.5 hours of classroom instruction and … Continue reading Staying Busy During The First Week of 2012
See Ya, 2011!
One last post before I hit the road... Hope you are all having (or will have later tonight) a wonderful New Years! This year I accomplished a lot. Starting with a small, short personal challenge to run for 21 days, it has blossomed into a newfound passion that has bled into every aspect of my … Continue reading See Ya, 2011!
