If you’ve got 7 minutes, watch this video and learn a few things about being Paleo.

This is me, and this is a toddler’s arm.

He wanted to be in the pic.

Anyways! I’ve been so busy lately I’ve hardly had time to sit down and write about myself. ;D

Memorial Day weekend included one horrifically uncomfortable 5K run, in the extreme humidity and 3 full days of moving furniture, carrying heavy boxes and desks up and down several flights of stairs, painting, buying a kayak, and yesterday I went swimming! :D

I forgot to take progress pix. Later on today, prrrrrromise.

Lunch :)

ham + red pepper + avocado wrapped in romaine lettuce

4.5 mile run today at a relatively AWFUL pace. It was also pouring rain and I was wearing Vibrams for the first time in months. (Excuses, excuses)

That was my work out today. I supposedly burned 800 kcal according to my new heart rate monitor but that seems like a whole lot to me.

This is me in action, post work out yesterday. I took this picture…because, a male requested that I send him a “cute picture of your face”. Uhhh, I was not cute at that moment.

Anyways, I’ve been so ridiculously busy and will continue to be. I don’t think I got that job as the bike cross country person…that’s fine, I have another job interview to be a swim instructor next week. Fingers crossed!

Also: I have two new work out buddies, a good friend of mine who lives down the street just got a gym membership at my gym and she’s pretty much dtf (and by “dtf” I mean…down to work out? I am not sure why “dtf” seemed fit but I’m keepin’ it there). & THEN! There is this mother who drops off her 2 year old son at the daycare I work at just so she can have time to work out. She’s got such a rockin’ body I can’t even handle it…we exchanged phone numbers today aaaand we’re gonna do kickboxing together. ;DD

Aside from ALL THAT — I got an apartment in Syracuse, NY and my lease starts in July…I joined the SU Sailing Team, I went off the paleo diet over the weekend at a Sweet 16 and my hands have been swollen ever since. What else…uhh, oh I have a video shoot to do over the weekend! The end bye

Modeling my new Free People shorts, and week 5 of my paleo transition.

They’re size 26, I’m not sure what that transitions in to real size life.

I also need to get out of the habit of taking these pics at work. lolZ

My hair is wet. I am at work. Skeletons.

Oh also, this arrived in the mail yesterday. I stayed up until like midnight* reading it.. I haven’t done that with a book since the Harry Potter days.

*Midnight isn’t particularly late but I am a baby and I fall asleep by like 10:30 every day.

The past two days have been rest days, and today will be a forced rest day because I am working 12 hours and then coming home at 6 PM to surprise family company. Saturday is my usual long dog hike (if it’s not raining) + running + weights. I think at least 1-2 days out of the week of REALLY pushing yourself…is awesome, and just feels awesome. 

See also: My coffee was not black this morning because some almond milk was accidentally added to it while I wasn’t looking and I took two sips and couldn’t figure out why it was the grossest tasting coffee I’ve had in awhile. My palate has obviously made a shift for the better.

Oh, and then…I made a paleo cherry pie last night, for company tonight. Daring? Absolutely, I’ve never made a pie in my life. It smelled and looked delicious though. I’ll take pix on pix on pix on pix and post the recipe later.
