It's been a busy first-part-of-2008...I strayed for a while, dear blog, but I did not forget about you! So the truth is, I moved in the latter part of January (into my hip new neighborhood - go Greenwood!!!) out of my old lovable shoebox in Queen Anne and into a grownup apartment with an in-unit washer/dryer. I also signed up to do the San Diego half marathon through Team in Training. So I've been running like a maniac with my TnT group the past few weeks! Also, I finally caved and subscribed to Comcast, the first cable I've had in at least 5 years, so there is a period of readjustment while I submerse myself in Bravo reality tv, HGTV home remodel shows, and E! True Hollywood Stories.
I've also been focusing hugely on my nutrition and I am - drum roll please - back on the green smoothies. I missed you, BlendTec. My latest concoction consists of organic kale, organic baby spinach, organic orange, non-fat yogurt, and organic mango (4 for $5 at Safeway!). I was feeling really crappy last week, as kale tends to have a detoxifying effect on my body/brain/energy level. A friend of mine had similar effects when drinking kale smoothies. So I backed off a little on the greens and I am feeling better now. Although my skin is also looking a little scary. Hopefully the toxins will all be gone soon.
I think the exercise and nutrition boost have elevated my mood considerably, as I've noticed a huge difference in the past week. It could have something to do with the sun being out, a rarity here in Seattle. Either way, 2008 is off to a great start and I'm wholeheartedly looking forward to running my first half marathon in San Diego on June 1st.
