Running journal #3

Well - since I last posted, I didn't bike and I didn't do yoga. I DID go on another 2 mile jog, and then one more. And a little bit of swimming yesterday but it wasn't much and hardly counts - except for when you spend 9ish hours at a desk you should at least pat yourself on the back for doing something remotely active.

In other fitness related activities, I watched that documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and started using a website to track my eating and workouts - at least for a bit so I can hone in on the big issues and try to do better. The documentary is about a couple dudes who are overweight, have chronic medical issues (probably from malnutrition) and work themselves back into better health by juicing. Like the one dude didn't eat solid food for 82 days or something. I'm certainly not considering anything that extreme but don't mind the idea of a bit of detox. I think it has to be more than a few days to really have significant impact but from a psychological perspective it could be the right amount of focus on what you're taking in to stop consuming processed junk and unhealthy food in favor of real food - fruits, veggies, nuts, beans, etc.

Just a consideration at this point. I think it would take a ton of planning and effort which I don't seem to have the ability to handle lately - I have cooked one meal in the last 2 weeks and have yet to figure out how to consistently bring my lunch to work. Old habits are long gone and I need to make it a priority again.
