Eight to Great: I Ran Into a Pole. Seriously.
Today is the start of full day 8 of Whole 30. I feel pretty amazing, to be honest. I don’t feel thin. I don’t feel pretty. I just feel… well. And I don’t mean, “Well, but…” I mean… …I feel well. Well, at least I do. My poor car, that’s another story. I ran ole […]

Eight to Great – Day 6 & 7
I got on the scale on Saturday morning. One of the rules of Whole 30 is not to get on the scale for 30 days. Now I understand why. It was disappointing. Very. Very disappointing. However, I feel so much better eating this way. It’s a struggle, though. A constant struggle, especially on the weekend […]
Enough is Enough!
Hi folks! Virginia here, and I am feeling a little “deep” today. My family returned from 6 days in the mountains last night. During that time it rained almost constantly. Because of that, I really got off of my 70.3 “plan” and mainly just ran. I wasn’t really feeling cycling or swimming in rain and […]
Eight to Great: Day Five

Eight to Great: Day Two: A Lightbulb
Today has been a great challenge. Day Two, clean eating. Feeling just a tad grrrrrrr…. For example, there was chocolate/peanut butter pie/cake that I could see from my desk. Okay, I could see when I walked by. So I escaped the fourth floor and went to the fifth floor, where I was greeted with this: […]
