Fresh Ideas

Today I ate all raw foods. We took my boss out for Sushi - so I even had raw fish! It was easy to make the choices.

I'm finding I'm beginning to dislike the smell of sweet. The idea of eating things that are "heavy" makes me feel lethargic just thinking about it.I ate a nice meal around 3:30 today and then went to the gym at 5:30.

I didn't even really feel like eating dinner. I puttered around the house and the time just passed. When I did get a little hungry, it was already late, so I just popped a couple of blackberries.

Now.. as the night is getting late and I realize how little time I have left in my evenings after getting home from the gym, I must start my days earlier. So.. I'm leaving the bathroom door open tonight... so the sun will shine in in the morning and wake me as it wakes. What a nice way to start the day. Goodnight Tuesday.

Epiphany 137: I am not my behaviors

I am not an overweight person, but I have been acting like one.

I realized that I AM is such a powerful statement. It means it's who I am. Sounds obvious doesn't it? But when I separate "who I am" from "what I do" all of a sudden I feel the emotions that I have always attached to my weight start to slip away.

I have acted sedentary. I have overeaten. I have been lazy. Yes it's true friends, don't try to defend me. I have lacked self-discipline in this area of my life. All of this I believe because my emotions were so much more powerful than my good intentions.

In this moment I feel exhilerated with the possibility of the new behaviors I can take on.

I make healthy food choices.
I take time to prepare healthy meals.
I eat modest portions.
I take time to relax and attend to my general wellbeing.
I exercise.
I take my supplements.
I get just enough sleep.
I drink enough water.

Because I AM someone who tends to the temple.
