Gonna try and start running again. It's a good way to actually get me up when I don't have work and it does start the day in a good way. Ran for 16 minutes this morning, not loads but I just hopped back on the Couch to 5K app but dialled it back a couple weeks from where I got to when I was doing it ages ago.

I don't actually know who the woman talking to me on the app is but she's very helpful. But also annoying when she interrupts my music.

I never knew you did running. What point did you get to on the Counch to 5K thing before?

I've been trying to eat healthier for just over a month now. Yesterday I had quinoa and broccoli soup. It was really nice, it had coconut milk, tumeric and lots of garlic in it so those were the dominant flavours. I'm trying to eat well in a more sustainable way so I can maintain it long term. I'm focusing on eating a lot of fibrous and protein heavy foods and cutting out all sugary snack foods.

I think I only got as far as running for 20 minutes straight, which was like 5 weeks of regular running. That was a long while ago now though, fell off when my girlfriend had to stop doing it for health reasons. Didn't think it'd last that long but she still doesn't feel up to running, but it kind of dawned on me that she actually has a gym membership and does other kinds of working out whereas I don't lmao

I've cut out snack foods right now as well. Doing it for lent but hope to have a more restrained attitude to it afterwards instead of eating an entire pack of biscuits in a day or two.
