Day 9 - Perhaps I'll live after all...

     The strangest thing happened when I woke up this morning - I didn't want to kill all the things. I was a little hungry, but was quite satisfied after breakfast. I'm just now eating lunch, and I'm surprisingly ok with that. Is it possibly that my body is finally starting to adjust? I certainly hope so! I could use a little relief!
     Now, I just need to get back into the swing of things with the gym. It's been a real struggle to stay consistent with my exercise. Oh, poor Fitbit, I miss you so much! That's the last straw. I'm buying another charger tonight. My life has been sadly lacking without the companionship of tracking my steps.
     You know, I think I'm just going to go back to adding one new thing every three weeks on the exercise front. That seemed to be less overwhelming, and helped me to develop good habits. I'll stick with the personal training sessions  once a week and add something else. I think I'll start by doing one of my walking videos. I really like Leslie Sansone's workouts. They don't take much space and are super easy if your still working your way back up like me! I can begin on Thursday. If I get more in than that, great! If not, I'll be satisfied with two days.
    My end goal is to have the stamina to work out 5 days a week. I'd also like to be able to swim laps again, flip turn included. Our tenure in this round of Whole 30 ends on November 13, so I'll be sure to post a new impossible pants picture then. We're going to try doing 30 days of Paleo after the Whole30 - although we will be a little less strict with that and allow ourselves some minor indulgences for the holidays. After that, we're going to do 30 days of meatless Monday's and work our way through some of my vegan cookbooks. It's going to be one adventure after another on the culinary front. I'm actually excited to try new things! Wish me luck.
