Run day
Today I started reading "In Defense of Food-an eaters manifesto" by Michael Pollan.
He is pointing out how marketing has changed our way of thinking of what to eat. In the past, our mothers learned from their mothers what to eat. Over the last 80 years or so this knowledge was lost since mother were bombarded with marketing. More so than eating a variety of foods, our focus shifted to obtaining calories, nutrients, and vitamins. There is more to foods than just the main chemicals within them.
More than likely, you are smothered by the "western diet". Your food consumption is greatly composed of refined flour, sugars, processed 'foods' and lacks in prehistoric-like foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, fish, and free-range or grass fed animals. 'Foods' because much of the product eaten is really not food, but rather lab created food substitutes. Breast milk vs baby formula for example. One is natural, the other is just some combination. The original baby formula consisted of cow's milk, wheat flour, malted flour, and potassium bicarbonate.
More on this later...
I ran in the grass a bit barefoot did some running/footwork drills, and cartwheels. It feels good to be barefoot, especially on the grass.

Back from Vacation
I took a vacation for several days in Puerto Rico. It was a beautiful site! Lindsay and I saw the rain forest, Old San Juan, Bacardii Distillery and spend quite a bit of time at the beach.
I must admit that my discipline of eating well and exercise diminished while on vacation. We exercised at the hotel and on the beach, and our diet wasn't that bad. This did inspire to me get back on track in several ways.
Vegetables-I didn't get enough of them. It is summer and they are so abundant here...got to eat more...like of the verge of vegetarianism. No beef for a month is what I am going to do. Why? Just to do it.
Exercise-I am always at a crossroad when it comes to exercise. My skill emphasis is snatch, muscle up, and run, my strength emphasis is squat, overhead press, and bent over row.
Mind-I need to practice quieting the mind, learn and read more useful information.
