Shout-Out to the Myriad People Involved in Making Me Literate

Because I'm working on this project and at first I was like:

So eventually I thought I'd START the research.

And then I was like.

So then I thought maybe I needed a fresh perspective.

And then I was all:

Conditions are deteriorating.

A Fitter Foot

My brother is a personal trainer, and he'll tell you:

It's important. It's the only one you get. It's your body.

When I leave my body on the back burner, when I choose fritters over fruits and veggies, it wears down on every part of me. This is something I know to be incontrovertibly true And yet... sometimes it's still so hard to make that choice. To get up and get moving. To make food with micronutrients and not in the microwave.

This has been on my mind for a thousand reasons, including but not limited to: The lack of energy I recognize in myself when I am not treating my body right; the motivation I struggle to find to make myself get moving; and documentaries like Food Inc. which brought to light the dangers in not knowing what we are eating, & Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead which has inspired me to start juicer shopping. Ohheyyy Amazon!

Also, a friend of mine writes an AWESOME health blog and her most recent post is about juicing. Interestingly, she was also inspired by watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. Netflix, man. It brings people together!

If anyone has insight into the exciting world of juicer shopping, let's chat. Because I don't really know what I'm doing... and Amazon Reviews are no substitute for good friends.

Secondly, I've started CrossFit training. And by "started," I mean "went-this-morning-and-loved-it." A friend of mine from my grad program swears by this strength and conditioning method. If you're not familiar with it, get on youtube. And then try it.... because it seems to me like the kind of fitness program everyone should have time to do.

Obviously... this means I need new shoes:

Alright, alright... I'm quieting my inner, consumer-driven mind. The truth is: You don't need to buy anything to start being more fit. You only need to make the decision, that's where it starts. And I'm making the decision now.
