Good going Julian. I'm still treadmilling for an hour 4 days a week and have cut my portions down at meal times. Also limiting my beer intake to weekends. Believe it or not that's huge progress for me. :)

Just a quick one today, I think. I had a much better day than yesterday. Did some errands, went for two walks, and got some stuff done around the house I needed to do. I still didn’t cook my meal prep stuff, but that’s at the top of the list for tomorrow. I wish I had more of a taste for fruit and veggies. I can do salads, but snacking on fruit or eating lots of vegetables with meals has never been easy for me, and that’s so important for being healthy and losing weight.
I prefer to get my fruit and veg by juicing. I was inspired by the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I actually did do a juice fast for about 16 days a few years ago, and it was the best I’ve ever felt. I had so much energy that I was waking up before my alarm would go off and getting right out of bed. I’m not a morning person at ALL; when I was a kid it was a war with my mom every morning to get me ready for school. Even now, I’ll sleep as long as I can before I have to get ready. The juicing was awesome, but I didn’t take care of the juicer and I had to get rid of it. My mother and I did a poor job of house cleaning when we lived together. I blame my anal-retentive father who was always angry about the state of things. Once he left, we let things slide, big time.
Anyway, I’d like to get a new juicer. I have a Nutribullet now, and that’s great for quick bursts of greens, but a juice extractor allows you to put a ton of stuff into one juice. The downside is that you lose the fiber, but I’d just like to use it as a way of getting extra greens into my diet. I can shotgun a juice before I register the taste, which is a win for me.
I’m writing another review tonight. Hope you got to read my reviews for Virginia and Hitman, and Firewatch comes out tomorrow. I realize that, besides Hitman (which released on disc recently), these aren’t new releases, but I’m trying to get back on the writing wagon. I know I’ll be reviewing Horizon: Zero Dawn, because it’s coming out on the day before my birthday, so that will be my gift to me.
Not sure what the weekend holds. My girlfriend is busy with school, so she may not be staying the weekend with me as she normally does. I’d like us to at least go see The Great Wall, because that movie looks awesome, and brings back memories of Hero and House of Flying Daggers. Probably more Mass Effect, question mark? I’m not sure. I’ll try to have something more interesting to write about tomorrow.
