The new thing that I'm starting is eating breakfast salads. I should really say eating salads for breakfast, because there's nothing breakfasty about them, other than the time of day that I'm eating them. I need more plants in my diet, and this was the quickest and easiest way that I could think of to do that. With all of the good food options around the new office, I know that bringing salads in for lunch was going to be a non-starter, so we'll see how this goes. This weeks salads are spinach with cucumber, red pepper, and goat cheese with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Another new thing is going to the gym at work. The Peloton app now has running and bootcamp classes that I can access on my phone, so I did a 20 minute power walk just to get myself started. I'm probably not going to get to full on running, ever, but there are quite a few power walking/jogging classes for me to choose from. I'm pretty sure that Peloton added all these classes to directly compete with OrangeTheory fitness, which is great for me, because I loved OTF, but had to stop after surgery, and this is much more convenient and way less expensive.

I spend so much of my life wrestling with my health lately, but this is feeling like a positive change that I can actually sustain. Pain has gotten in the way of so many things in the past couple of years, and I'm just really learning how to approach life so that I can actually, you know, live. A 20 minute power walk isn't much, but it's a start.

Breakfast is a meal in the morning when you're breaking your overnight sleeping fast. Eat what you want. :)
