Purple is a fruit, just like Orange

Not running has been much worst than running. Most times I think I’d rather just suffer through the run in pain, than not run at all, but my conscience and my sister don’t hesitate to tell me how stupid it is. So I’ve just been eating junk food since Sunday, also dumb on my part (why do Swiss Rolls have to taste so good). Not to mention, the bought on clearance Halloween Reece’s cups I’ve destroyed. I’ve been reading through blogs to pass the time, and I’m noticing a trend of people talking about their healthy foods. While I would love to eat healthy, I’m kinda lost on where I should start. Currently I’m on a steady diet of Penne, Marinara, Pesto, and the occasional Spinach salad. I don’t think that’s a horrible meal but being that it’s the same thing about 4 or 5 nights a week, its pretty clear why I go on my junk food binges. Another thing why is the healthy stuff so much more expensive, that doesn't help frugal me at all. This week I did cook a stew in my crock pot but sadly it didn’t last as long as I would have liked. So for the rest of November I am vowing that I will not buy anymore Little Debbies Snack Cakes. I also need to figure out how to add some tasteful quasi healthy foods in the rotation.

Monday I got in a swim workout that went pretty well considering I’ve only been swimming one day a week (2200m). I also got to use the techniques I was shown in the Dr. G testing last week, which was cool. I woke up the next morning sore in my neck/traps, letting me know I was using muscles different than normal which I think is a good thing. There was another club member there who hasn’t stopped swimming since the season ended so it was nice sharing a lane with someone who was really pushing me. I feel like I should try to swim at least twice a week now, though I haven’t quite figured out how that’s going to fit into my schedule (schedule of slacking, albeit still a schedule).
