Day 12: Ready, Set, Run

I feel great today. I have lots of energy. I feel excited that I'm 3 days from halfway!

...and I made this goulash of sorts for lunch that turned out to be surprisingly good. 

Sauteed brussel sprouts and onions with fresh oregano and sage from the garden, with ground turkey. Oh and a little hand that is always reaching for my food. 

I got Abigail to eat brussel sprouts for the first time. I don't think she loved them, but she didn't hate them. Judah spit them out every time, but loved the ground turkey.

Phil and I decided to go for a run tonight since we both decided to do a 10k (6 miles) at the end of October. I am still working my way back up to running longer distances so we just wanted to do a 5k (3 miles) tonight.

I knew it would be hard but.....woof. It was way harder than I thought. Meaning, I'm way more out of shape than I thought I was.

Now I do have to give myself credit because it could be that I've just been eating so many fewer calories that I didn't have as much gas to run off of. Regardless I have a lot of work to do before the 10k.

After our run we needed to get groceries and dinner so we went to Aldi. You know how people say that you shouldn't go grocery shopping while hungry? Well you REALLY shouldn't go grocery shopping hungry while on the Whole 30.

We settled on burgers and fries and boy was the a good decision.

I promise there is a burger under there, with yellow mustard and my new favorite thing Franks Red Hot Sauce. Lettuce instead of bun and tomato from our garden. 

Special sauce made by my brother. Ah-mazing.

After eating dinner, I was so exhausted I had to lay down or I felt like I would just fall over. Now to sit on the couch and watch the Olympics the rest of the night.
