Today I warmed up with a mile run, then I did chest and shoulders, then did a mile of sprints!!! They both equaled out to about a 10 minute mile. So over all I did 20 minutes of running today then did about 5 minutes as a cool down on the bike, the bike hurt my knee more than the running did honestly.

Then when I was done I immediately stretched, and when I got back to my room I foam rolled. I’m like beyond excited. Not only does this mean I can still keep on running, it means I can actually run the color vibe race in new hampshire with one of my best friends!!!!

I feel better about myself today too. Last night I pretty much gave myself a pep talk and was like look Carolann, you have come so fucking far. You have gained so much muscle, you can run farther than you ever imagined you could, and you have some fat on your stomach right now, CONGRATULATIONS YOU’RE NORMAL.

It actually really helped. I’m also taking this week to eat a lot better so I can guide myself into the whole30. One huge thing will be I’ll stop skipping breakfast when I go home, because right now I sleep until lunch like every day which is horrible. I sleep so much more at college than I do at home. When I’m home I wake up at like 8 or 9 on any given day no matter what. But today I had a veggie burger with mushrooms and spinach for lunch, I love when they actually serve healthy and good tasting things. Me and my best friend Katie are going on a sushi date really soon. I’m only gonna get like 1 roll though because I’ll probably go to dinner and have a salad, and they’re doing this special thing for finals tonight that’s a breakfast they’re serving from 8pm-10pm and I’m not gonna not go to that.

So pumped. Even my mom has noticed. And I don’t see her a lot so she can actually notice changes. Made my day.

It’s literally amazing how much clean eating makes me feel so much better.

I’ve eaten completely clean the past two days. Before it was like a combo between clean and stupid dick food (we call our dinning commons the dick because its called dickerman dinning commons). 

But I’ve been making all clean choices to eat at the dick not just their gross meals they offer that day. I’ve been choosing tuna, grilled chicken, salad, fruit, and granola. It sucks because it’s easy to get sick of it fast but I’m trying to keep things mixed up so that doesn’t happen. 

I’ve also been able to snack about an hour before meals so it makes me less hungry and less apt to make bad decisions while I’m there.

But I can physically see how much my body has debloated (I know that’s not a word but I like it) already.  I can’t wait to take another picture at the end of the week to compare it to the beginning of this month. I’M FINALLY BACK ON TRACK. It’s only taken me a month….

And I ordered a measuring tape for 2 bucks off ebay so that should be coming in soon so I can get all my measurements. We lost the other one so I couldn’t keep up. I remember some of my previous measurements so we’ll see if they changed.

Also can I just say how I can’t stop staring at my quads?? Like I can legit see them through my yoga pants today. I am just so damn proud of these things.

sorry about the rant.
