Day 10 of Streaktember is in the books! I went to bed late yesterday, so I knew I wasn’t going to be as fast as yesterday. I was definitely tired, but not in the same draggy way I felt during the first week; it was just more of a general fatigue. My pace today wasn’t…
I can’t believe the difference one week of streaktember made! What started as a struggle has become something I actually look forward to every day. Today was my fastest run yet. I finished my mile in 11:18, and I wasn’t even that tired. My watch also recorded the effort as moderate, which is such a big change from…
When I first tried the keto diet, the food I missed the most was pasta. I love it because it comes in different shapes and can be cooked in countless ways. But when I started reintroducing it into my diet, I experimented with alternatives. Whole wheat pasta? 🤢 Never again. It somehow tasted undercooked and overcooked at…
Sometimes you just want to eat eba, but the soup situation doesn’t cooperate. That was me the other day; hungry, between market runs, and with very few ingredients in the fridge. I had goat meat and spinach, so I thought, “Perfect! Let’s make a quick spinach sauce.” I steamed the goat meat with some seasonings,…
Today’s run was the easiest so far, but of course, what’s a streaktember run without a little twist and drama? There always seems to be a curveball, and today was no exception. I got to the 10-minute mark barely tired, feeling good, even dancing a little while running (terrible idea!). I got distracted and didn’t…
I can’t believe it’s already been a week of running every day for Streaktember! Day 7 felt completely different from the days before, and I think I finally figured out why: proper rest. Yesterday, I started planning ahead because I knew I would be on a time crunch. I usually record my runs for social media, and…
When I first started trying to lose weight, I thought the only way was to cut out entire food groups. Rice was always the first to go because it gets such a bad rap. But when I began building a healthier relationship with food, I realized all food groups can be part of a balanced…
Saturdays are already packed for me with chores, cooking, and errands, so I knew today would be a challenge. I planned to wake up at 5 am to complete my streaktember challenge for today, but somehow, I either turned off the alarm in my sleep or didn’t hear it at all. I woke up feeling…
Day 5 of the Streaktember Challenge is officially in the books! Today reminded me that every run feels different, but not every run feels like yesterday’s hell. I won’t lie, I was still a bit reluctant to start, but once I hopped on the treadmill, it wasn’t as much of a battle as yesterday. Yesterday I…
Today wasn’t about sore muscles. It was about my mind. I went to bed late last night and already knew I’d wake up tired. On top of that, my “mom radar” told me my baby might wake up earlier than usual, which meant I wouldn’t have that quiet window for streaktember while my oldest got…
