It's been over 5-weeks since I published a posting. OY! It's also been 5+weeks that I have NOT been consistently exercising. DOUBLE OY!
I have been continuing to combat low-back pain and it's attendent depression and laziness. Bad habits are so much easier to develop and foster. I have been blaming my so-called 'burn-out' and 'injury' -- both real but the self-victimization is the culprit I am alluding to in the aforementioned reference -- to my lack of motivation and action.
NO MORE!
I have been doing GYROTONICS with a bevy of smart trainers. And I also started swimming again. And doing yoga. Also, this last week I and a friend have jointly resumed a PALEO diet and I am feeling better for it. And although "paleo" or "hunter-gatherer" conjures images in my mind of slaying animals and gorging on meat and fat (although there is some of that), my experience of it has been a massive increase of in-season healthy fruits and vegetables. YUMMMY VEGETABLES. I am eating so much better. It's unbelievable. I am also still buying my foods from mostly big box grocery stores...but that was just for convenience and to get started. Over the next few weeks as I get a handle on the diet and eating and planning...I want to increasingly supplement and/or displace those purchases by shopping at farmer's markets and maybe even local area farms.
SOUNDS EXCITING....
As so too does getting back on my feeting and building lean muscle, strength and endurance. And, oh yeah, losing that extra 20lbs I've picked up along the way.
ARRRRGGGGHHHH....
