1 week anniversary celebration

Mar 01, 2012

  I spent it with one of my BFF's, walking the mall, window shopping, shopping at the local "healthy" grocery stores like Trader Joes & Whole Foods, and talking about life, love, relationships, getting older, et al.

It was a great day.

I didn't do too well on my eating/supplements, which makes me note that I HAVE to get pill cases, and figure out how to make sure I get all that in.  But I felt good, pain's < 3 on the pain scale all day, didn't cheat, didn't starve.  So, overall a good day.

Takeaways from today:
- life is too short/precious to let one day go by because of _______.  Fill in the blank with whatever is holding you back, including your weight.  Which was holding me back.  Not for long though.
- we're getting older, and our peers are fighting diseases that have telethons.  Meaning:  those diseases aren't going anywhere.  Cancer.  Heart disease.  My surgery is long overdue, but timed perfectly for me to get serious about preventive eating/living.
- being Fat isn't the only problem leading to those diseases.  What I chose to eat is also the problem.  How I chose to live = another problem. 
- I want to live healthier and grow old abundantly.  Thriving.  Not quietly, but having a raucously good time every moment.
- I'm really happy
- the produce section of the store, 'specially the weird fruits/veggies (ugli fruit? jicama?  yucca root? sour sop) looks VERY enticing right about now.
- fish is food, not friend.  Cow is friend, not food.  Rinse well, repeat regularly (I so am going to have to get over my fascination with steak & chicken wings before they kill me, literally).

So many others, but that's the gist.  And now that I probably got more than 10 minutes of walking in today...I'm beat!
