Eating has been going pretty well. I'm eating less fruit then normal, but I fear I'm snacking more? Or maybe I'm not. I kinda feel like it's too easy so far, so that I must be doing something wrong. Week 2 I should start to feel more changes, so we'll see what happens! The kalua pork is SO GOOD. Omg it's really delicious. I totally get the obsession. My body kind of fights pork I think though...unless it's random, but I feel like i get icky poops when I eat too much of it. I feel like I can already notice itty bitty changes, like my upper stomach feels a little less bloated. But man does that bottom part need work! I feel stronger working out. But i might be imagining that too.

Tuesday night I went to the Wilds game with friends, we were going to go to Chipotle...but it closed at 6. WTF? Fing St. Paul...it's a grandma town. They don't lettuce wrap their sammys, usually I'm erbs over jimmys all the way, but that's ridic. Jimmys for the win with that one. So instead they said they could make a little salad, and i was excited about it. But it was ridic. The just shoved a punch of meat and lettuce in a tiny soup bowl. Woof. Also, I forgot to say no dressing, so that was delicious! It was a vinegar based dressing so not awful, but for sure sugar. I gobbled that bitch right up. At the game I brought a water bottle and my TJ's trailmix that I'm obsessed with (almonds, walnuts, salted cashews, sunflower seeds, raisins and coconut flakes). Easy peasy!

I have all kinds of good snacks packed for this weekend, cabin with friends. And I already printed off recipes to bring to Thanksgiving, since I will be towards the end for that. Which is a bummer, but honestly I'm not worried about it.

My knee was totally fine today! I think raising the seat really did do the trick! The Dr said I'm crazy tight, and that might have caused injuries, so now I really have no excuse to stretch, but man is it hard to make time for. I really want to, it's just so hard for me to prioritize for some reason. But I seriuosly am so excited about my knee. I'm also going to run T/R next week, and see what happens! I want to go at it slowly and not screw anything up. Biking is fine now, I'm used to it, and am able to get a great workout from it. But I'm still excited to get back to the tread. My knee still pings every once and a while throughout the day, but at least it didn't hurt on the bike!
