Thoughts:
I'm *still* sore from yesterday afternoons boot camp class, but listened to some advice that my body would feel better if I worked out today - so to the gym I went.  Somehow I managed a little bit of treadmill time for an interval run.  I don't even know how my legs managed to run considering that it hurt to stand up and sit down today.  I might not be made for boot camp, but I think I might go back next week.  I can tell that it was a workout that has the potential to accomplish things.

Also, I feel like I haven't been being very mindful of what I've been eating lately.  That, and I've just been craving unhealthy things.  To try to fix this and exercise some self control, I decided to eat raw for the day.  The last time I did this was during one of the SW challenges and I thought I would never do it again considering how not good I felt afterwards.  Today wasn't too bad though - I had cut fruit in the morning (strawberries, peach, plum, white nectarine), then some almonds and a few bites of a cucumber, tomato, lemon, onion salad, 2 bananas, and for dinner I had a big spoon of peanut butter, and a green mango, onion, cucumber, peanut salad with lime, salt, and sriracha (not raw).  I cheated a little bit and had a cup of green ginger tea with some honey as well.  Although I was raw, I don't know that it was completely healthy - probably too much fruit and not enough vegetables, and not enough protein.  I don't think I can handle another day of being raw tomorrow, but I definitely feel like I'm on track to be more mindful.

5 minute warm up @ 3.1 - 3.5
