Mind straight, Health good, time to get back to it!

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

After a couple of months of therapy I think I am ins a better head space to get back to taking care of my body. And with my foot healed, and last weeks cold gone I could finally get up and start on a new 'regime'.

I already have a running program (although I do need to adjust my schedule to account for taking some days off to get healthy.) And that is working so far. And more importantly the new shoes are doing what I expected as far as being able to handle the running.

Today I embarked on the Beginner program for the 'You Are your Own Gym' workout. I received a copy of the book a while back, and it really does seem to be a sensible approach, and I like the idea of just doing body weight exercises using what I have around the house. That goes along with my running as far as keeping as minimalist as possible (except the shoes, gotta buy good shoes.) It was a good workout, and I hope to be able to keep that up and stick to the regime.

And once I get settled into that I may start getting back to the calorie counting, but that is something on the horizon, because to be honest it is not the best thing for me to do as it does not get along with my OCD. Tracking calories when you are OCD is asking for a negative feedback loop ('I didn't hit my calories again?! Well screw it') It is better to just keep aware of my general eating, try to stick to keeping well rounded, and not over eating.

All this means that I feel that I can get back onto my Fitwinning lifestyle again.
