Alright, Brady- I got the message. :) So here are a few quick life updates, with more to come!
Mini-Marathon:
As Brady posted, we all finished the mini marathon on Saturday! While the last few miles REALLY sucked, it was a great experience overall. I'm definitely looking for races in the fall, although this time I think I will train a little more. :) We will definitely post pictures as soon as possible!
Vegan and Raw Eating:
As some of you might know, I spent the entire month of April eating vegan (no animal products period- so cheese, eggs, milk, butter, etc. were all out along with meat as usual). Crazy me decided to try two weeks of eating only RAW food with one of my good friends. This week I'm eating breakfast and lunch totally raw, and eating dinner 50% raw. It's kind of weird- I've had a dull headache since I started doing it, which is apparently toxins leaving my body... yuck! (But kind of cool!) Next week I'm aiming to go completely raw, then that weekend I'll transition back to regular vegetarian eating. To give you an idea of what I'm eating, here's what I had today:
Breakfast: Coffee and an apple
Lunch: carrots, peppers, salad w/ almonds and craisins, apple
Dinner: Burrito w/ tofu, rice and veggies, carrots- apple w/ peanuts and agave nectar
Snack: orange juice
I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm surprisingly full and satisfied! We'll see what I'm saying when I try to go totally raw.
Moving:
Adam and I are moving into a lovely coach house together in a few weeks!! For those of you who don't know Adam, he is one of my absolute best friends. We've been buds since high school and have been spending a ton of time together since I moved back to the midwest. We will be coming possessions (and dogs!) in our lovely two story, two bedroom house in East Lakeview. I'll be just a few blocks away from the lake and minutes away (walking) from my two favorite diners in Chicago- the Pick Me Up Cafe and the Chicago Diner. I can't wait to post pictures once we're all moved in!
So anyway, that is what I've been up to- aside from the crazy amount of hours I've been working. :) Life is good!
