Lately I have been pretty introspective, trying to resolve my motivation issues and working out a way to get healthy and fit. I am still trying to find my way forward but today I feel better, I have more energy and it is a good day. I appreciate days like this, I feel like they are signposts along my path and that I am moving forward.
Regarding training, I know I need more than just cycling to get fit. I believe yoga is the right choice for me in that regard but I have yet to explore that option. I picked out a couple of studios and will look into classes and sessions at each so I can get started. I am trying to get Kristin to join me but I need to find a solution soon. I have doing a few upper body free weight exercises in the meantime but with no structure and planning that will drop off soon.
Currently I feel that I am sitting at the end of a plateau, I just need the right catalyst to see major improvements soon. I really want this respiratory condition to go away, I feel that I can deal with it better if I was 40lbs lighter. I think my diet changes and attempts to modify my habits will soon pay off in that regard.

Hi Duncan.
You should definitely take up Yoga. You'll feel an immediate improvement. I do a lot of aerobic exercise and Yoga is a great compliment. It also helps give more energy and a more positive outlook on life.
You should also consider brain training -- not the games, but the more intensive stuff. A study on Improving Fluid Intelligence by Training Working Memory (PNAS April 2008) recorded increases in mental agility (fluid intelligence) of more than 40% after 19 days. It also helps with focus, concentration and memory.
I was so impressed that I contacted the research team and developed a software program using the same method so that anyone can achieve these improvements.

Cool stuff. I am an ivory tower refugee so I respect anyone working on mental improvement. I can't say that I know anything about your approach but anyone who values knowledge nowadays is to be treasured over the last 8 years of valuing ignorance.
