Amazed

I'm amazed at all of the support I've received in just the past 5 hours since sending out a notice about this blog - thank you. I just went on a great run using the Couch to 5K program on my iphone. I'm in week 5 and for the first time, I made it back to my house before my 30 minutes was up. Considering I've been using the same trail this entire time, that's an indication that my runs are getting faster.

Tomorrow is my first day of eating 10 servings of fruits and veggies. A girlfriend asked me this afternoon if that was 10 of veggies and 10 of fruits. I don't think I'd have room in my stomach! My goal is to eat a total 10 servings of any fruits and veggies each day.

Another girlfriend gave me her recipe for a protein shake which calls for a couple of servings of fruits and veggies. She adds spinach (which I'm totally into) and raw egg to hers. I'm a little hesitant to go for the raw egg, although if you wash the shell it's supposed to be completely safe. She says these keep her full all morning, so I'll let you know tomorrow how it's working.
