O crap

Been putting this off for a little while
thurs:5/15
ran 1.5 miles, hard

fri:5/16
jogged 1.5 miles, dips in the park(found nice set of bars!)
Got to play around a bit with parkour in town. Got the Hackey sack stuck on the roof (recurring theme) @ the running start meeting and we were gonna climb on the roof and get it... but the "authorities" didn't like that.. so the janitor got it.

sat:5/17
walked 1.5 miles to park; jogged 1.5 miles to park
5 set of 5 pullups, 10 decline pushups.

Issueing major diet changes. They include:
Fish-oil capsules
Protein Powder
HFCS awareness (I eat something containing it once a week, if that)
Refined sugar awareness (still eat some[nearly impossible not to in our society] but way less)
No more junk food (including energy drinks.) Fresh juice when I'm at store.
No more artifical sweetners (sucralose, splenda, aspartame.. etc)
Smoothies.. (the one I"m drinking right now is a bit of a failure.. tastes awful)
Eating foods low in GI.. need to do this anyways as a diabetic.. doesn't mean i do it so well.
Also, trying to learn more about nutrition in general, going to take a college course next fall/winter. Very excited about running start. classes 2 days a week. Possibly 4 but the other two days would be weight-lifting/pilates... possibly some yoga..

Can already see effects of diet. My acne is going away... Not sure if that's due to fish oil capsules (only started 3-4 days ago) or due to eating less ref. sugars/HFCS. Going to make a strong habit of eating good food.

"Weakness is opportunity"

Thurs 5/22: sat around.. tried to do pushups/pullups but turns out that hurts my left tricep/bicep. (Thats feeling better on saturday. And i spent 10$ on 20 feet of rope which I intended to climb but my hand slips.. didn't really have anywhere to hang it up anyways... BUT 10$

Fri: 5/23
Washed dishes?? Staying off the arm.. my back is sore.. trying to heal from all this running injuries.. bummer.. gay.. Have to keep up with diet/flexibily and sleep. (o ya, i went to bed at 2.30 am)

Sat 5/24
... No one ever explained to me mixing/pouring concrete was so difficult... almost 5 hours long.. Carrying 5 gallon buckets of sand/gravel and lifting them UP into mixer... amazing workout.. but with I hadn't for my left bicep/triceps' sake.

Just curious... but I'm feeling EXTREMELY lopsided... my whole left side is a little off (My left leg is little bit longer) examples include
-I can do pistols right legged but not left
-My right upper arm looks alot bigger than it was but my left doesn't really... (quite noticeable) and I'm not a thrower
-My left hip hurts pretty bad from running injury. Left knee and shin both minor pain..
Damnit... I shouldn't have ran that many laps counterclockwise around the track without running one clockwise.. Why does no one tell me this?
MAIN question i need answered is should i try right/left arm equally (mostly do with bodyweight exercises) or should I give my left arm more attention?

Goals...
HEAL.. all the way
Eat good food.. all the time
Then work on handstands/pushups/pullups... all around upper body.. even thought I can see the improvement both visually and in reps / max weight.

as tempting as it may be just rest and keep off of everything for two weeks, if you need more time only you will know, but just do this and your body will be able to heal sufficiently. Work on your flexibility in the meantime. Then work on conditioning your body with bodyweight exercises

EAT PLENTY! SLEEP WELL!
