Exercise is like fresh grocery 🥕

As you know, I like to stay active. I am in rather good fitness now, but I am focusing more on training strength than before. To maintain a good posture, you need good strength in the back and shoulders. For that, training is required. Sometimes I use the watch to monitor my heart rate and it gives me feedback on my training. There was no doubt that I had lost fitness when I studied last spring. I didn’t have time for training as usual, because I was traveling between Stockholm and Uppsala. My watch is mean to me. Not always positive feedback, and sometimes very concrete letting me know that I need to practice more to improve. I am trying to stay friends with it even though it doesn’t say what I want to hear. The truth hurts.

I do exercise to be able to eat good and well. Cooking is a big part of my life, and it is also a very nice experience when traveling. New flavors, and you can discover things like that some countries use bananas as we use potatoes on a daily basis. Anti-inflammatory foods are popular, even though it hasn´t really reached grocery stores. The idea seems good. I try to target slow carbohydrates. Since it is Sunday, I have training on my schedule, but I need some sweets. This evening, I will have homemade carrot cake with tea. Goodies with slow carbohydrates to stay healthy. Or what is your opinion?
