Day 16 - I got a library card today...

I went to the library today and got a library card. I think it is the first one I have had since I was a kid.  I want to start reading more actual books. I like books. I don't like reading everything online.

But anyways, I got my card and went directly to the health/vegan section. It was a small section and about 98% of it were Vegan cook books which I will definitely be checking out, but I wanted vegan books...about being vegan, not just recipes.

I did end up getting the book, Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life.

I'm not exactly Sporty Spice, but I am wanting to up my fitness so hopefully it can give me some insight on how our bodies work when working out on a vegan diet.

I was disappointed on the lack of vegan books, but I guess it's to be expected. Hopefully as the years go on, Veganism will continue to be a thing and the library section will grow larger.

I walked to the library. Probably 15-20 minutes there 15-20 minutes back.

PS.
As the New Year is coming up, everyone is so fitness and healthy eating obsessed. On Pinterest, everyone is pinning healthy food recipes and blah, blah, blah. I find it a little annoying. Not because they are doing it and trying to better themselves, that's awesome, I wish everyone would do that. It's more of when I checked out the vegan book at the library or I pin healthy stuff on Pinterest, it's like I am just part of the trend, like I haven't been doing it the whole time, not just around New Years. I guess the difference is that most New Years Resolutions don't last. I've been attempting this for awhile now and will continue after mostly everyone else stops. I hope that they don't stop though. Healthy eating needs to be more of a priority for everyone. Things are getting out of control.
