my exercise epiphany
on thursday i spent the morning researching running shoes. i worked out that i overpronate, i have knock knees etc. so then i was looking at some different styles (all vegan, of course) and got in a bit of a tizzy over the whole thing. so i left that and went to yoga. during the class i realised that yoga makes me feel really good, and my strength and flexibility is something i’m really keen on improving. then i thought about running and realised that i’ve been forcing myself to enjoy it. i’ve been thinking that with every run i go on, it’ll be one step closer to actually developing a habit. but i don’t enjoy it, i don’t care about being able to run long distances. it hinders my flexibility and serves me no purpose. my level of fitness is good, i can walk long distances without getting tired. i can even run relatively far with ease. that’s important to me. but having some super human running endurance is not. i feel that yoga will be beneficial to me throughout my lifetime, it’s like investing in my future. i know a lot of people swear by running but i don’t think it’s for me. i’m so glad i had this epiphany, i feel so much freedom and i’m so excited to get serious with yoga!

i have an epiphany to share with y’all, with regards to my exercise, but i shall do so after work today. working 32 hours over 3 days is not recommended…
my dream last night
was utterly horrifying. i was one of those pathetic vegans eating mayonnaise and salad cream just because it was easier than asking for food without it. the dream was SO realistic and i felt really disappointed in myself in the dream. ugh.
my sister veganised my mother’s sausage casserole! SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD!
Why Humans Are Primarily Plant-Eaters By Design
There is no question that humans are capable of digesting meat, but just because we can digest animals does not mean we’re supposed to, or that it will be good for us. We can digest cardboard…that does not mean we should.
A very good read with good points.
lunch: steamed cabbage and asparagus with stir fried courgette
dinner: more chickpea and kale pie with more asparagus
vegan running shoes
i’m having a pretty hard time trying to find some. i found this website, which has a list of brands that replied to them about their vegan shoes. so i’m looking at Asics (all shoes with “N” in their product code are vegan) and i think i’m an “over-pronator” so it’s been whittled down to 10 styles. a few have really bad reviews and the rest don’t have any. WHY CAN’T ALL BRANDS JUST BE CRUELTY FREE, I DON’T UNDERSTAND!
chickpea and kale pie with garlic mash. oh my worddddd.
