December already?? Where did the time go? I can't believe time has flown so fast. Funnily, I started this the second day of December and didn't finish. Now we're past the halfway mark already!! Only 5 days to Christmas.
It's sad really, I decided in September that I was going to up my mileage, and I was excited to have a high mileage month in October. I did a 10 mile run the first Sunday of October (my longest run in a long, long time) and the very next day my Dad died. So instead it became the month of 1 mile runs. Half the month was just 1 mile. Then at the end of October I got sick for 2 or 3 weeks, and November was also tanked.
I got my Covid booster shot about a week ago. I was really nervous, and turns out, my symptoms were worse than after my second shot. I got the Pfizer shot and was only just tired after my second shot. After my booster, I felt horrible, I had a headache, and fluctuated between sweating profusely and freezing. There were some points where I was both freezing in one area of my body and burning in another. It was strange. It lasted about 16 hours, and then I was fine.
I haven't had much to talk about lately, which would explain why I haven't posted.
I did start a keto inspired diet, and did excellently the first week. I lost 6 lbs the week after Thanksgiving. Then I decided I was going to eat whatever I wanted for the weekend, and I gained 3 lbs. The following week I lost 1 and a half pound, which was about 4 lbs from where I started. And then over the weekend I gained a little (only about a pound) and then I lost about 1.5 lbs again, which put me at about a 4.5 lb weight lose overall. The initial 6 lbs was amazing, but I didn't have any energy. By my Thursday run I was really, really dragging. Which I found interesting because when I did my first marathon everything I read was that protein was how to build long term energy, carbs give you a quick boost, but protein stays longer.
I don't really have anything to write about. When I had school I blamed it on all the papers I wrote, but now I'm not writing anything, and I still don't know what to write. This will likely be my only December post because of this. So I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
