Day 2

I went back and forth between starting this Whole 30 this week or next week.  Normally, I'd want to start when I go back to school.  Here's why I started during my vacation instead - I'm exhausted today and have a nagging headache.  I know from experience that this will go away in a day or two, but I'm also glad I'm not feeling like this with a group of high school kids :)

By the end of my my six-week hiatus from the W30, I noticed three big changes for the worse:

1.  My skin is a mess.  Honestly, I can't remember the last time I broke out like this.
2.  My stomach is distended and bloated.  I'm attributing this to yeast, but am looking forward to testing this with the reintroduction in February.
3.  My energy/motivation for workouts is not what I'm used to.  I ran indoors at the Community Center on Monday and felt awful, but kept telling myself, "You put crappy calories into your body and you get crappy energy, genius."

So for Day 2, I really wanted to be a total bad ass and get back into the half-marathon training with a brisk run outside this morning, regardless of the weather forecast.  However, it was 1 outside this morning.  Without the windchill.  And I am not that much of a bad ass.  All of which meant I put in 3 miles on the treadmill instead.
