Moving right along

It was a stressful day. I even drank a pepsi. Yuck. However, I'm not tired yet, and I decided it would be a good night to devote to some writing - maybe book one or two - not sure, maybe both. I need to keep moving forward if I ever want to break out. I feel like I have hit the rut again - but the prospect of going to Florida in about a month makes it a little better. I have to get some outlines going for book research that month too. Thats about it for now - hopefully tomorrow I will write even more. Note to self - set up writing area on the front porch.

Haven't changed in a while....

Ok, so I got off track and started eating not-so-wonderful things again. My motivation has returned - it is the call of vacation and the promise of bikini weather.
I have decided to break out the super healthy diet - including mostly water to drink (occasional iced tea and milk in cereal and stuff) and getting rid of soda and junk that has crept into my diet. I took a break from derby because life got hectic. Chip needs to work on his wellness, as do I. We shall conquer together and get healthy together. Yay!

My stomach has ceased the assault

Feeling better today. Perhaps some sort of fiber overload, as my system is not super accustomed to the whole vegetarian business yet. But I digress..
Finances are actually coming along a little better than I expected. Sure, I am trying to figure out the next few months, but it will come along. And school is finally DONE, which means I can actually focus on reading and catching up on all of the wonderful things I have missed over the past almost seven years. Like reading lots and lots, watching some good tv and movies, gardening, etc. The list goes on. On that note, I made a stack of books that I have neglected and will finish them within the week. Yay!
On to a somewhat healthy evening snack and perhaps a little straightening.

What the?

Seriously...I ate healthy food today and somehow I feel yicky. Like my tummy hurts a lot yicky! Hmmm...what did I eat yesterday? A couple healthy snacks, good breakfast, salad for dinner.....nothing too crazy at all! Is this some kind of weird detox prank? Ah well. I will take it if it means that I will eventually feel better and have less of these shenanigans. After the belly calms for a bit, I will probably hike to the kitchen and make a light snack to further the calming.

Almost there......stay on target

Final draft has been submitted....almost done. Just in time for the #PG 1Wk challenge. One week of excercise, super healthy eating and meditation. I am soo ready for this - and I have goals like crazy!
I'm gonna clean, and garden like there's no tomorrow. I want this place to be a true reflection of me, and not just a jumbled mess.
Now that one hurdle is almost complete, I have to focus on my dreams. Keep moving forward.

Live and learn

Ok fine. I deviated from my healthiness for a day of pizza, microwave popcorn and soda made with the mother of all bad stuff (you know what I mean). I paid for it with one of the worst bellyaches in quite some time, possibly in years. You get to a point where you feel so good from eating the good stuff that you feel invincible. I was at that point. What the heck, I said. Just a little won't hurt. Sure did. Ok healthy food gods. I get it. If I want pizza and popcorn I will make it for reals, and not the junk way. And soda is slowly on the way out - but I still love my old fashioned stuff.

War on Junk

Oh I was good this weekend. We went shopping and bought most all healthy foods. I also cleaned out part of the kitchen and rid ourselves of anything that could be constituted as junk. I tried out Earth Balance buttery spread and it was suprisingly yummy! (again, no guilt with butter..well less than regular anyways). We also tried these kale chip things.....OMG! Delicious! I want lots and lots of them. It's amazing how many cool healthy foods and snacks are out there! Still looking for more...but right now the kitchen and dinner calls!
