Here's the story - serious burn out.

Mental break downs and group therapy. Eating to cope.

If I'm gonna be honest, this month has been really hard. But I feel like I'm on my way out of a seriously nasty pit.

To continue with the last blog's post, I have gone swimming with co-workers 3 times since then.

Today was my first serious workout in a looooong time. (I've been to the gym at least once a week, but haven't pushed myself and have been eating like shit.) I did interval training with John - (1 minute of running + 6 minutes of walking) x 3 = my face is so red it's purple. I feel surprisingly good and proud of myself for doing it.

John's gonna do the interval training 4x/week. You increase running time every week and it's supposed to get you running for 30 minutes straight within 8 weeks. I think I might do it with him. Although it might be more reasonable to up the ante every other week instead of every week.

Feeling very blessed that we left our front door and ran on the beach today, too!

PS - I cannot describe how much I love kale chips. Amazing. Toss some fresh kale in a bit of olive oil and spices then bake at 350 for 10 minutes - crispy, delicious, nutrient-packed treat!
