Learning to take care of me

Okay,

I've discovered that one of my major obstacles is lack of preparation. If I allow myself to get too hungry while I'm out of the house, its EXTREMELY difficult for me to avoid fast food stops. So this morning before I left the house I prepared some jerk veggies, packed up some leftover brown rice and plaintain and will have that on hand if I get hungry. I'm also taking some Kashi crunch bars in case the sweet and crunchy monster attacks.

I read somewhere that women always pack bags so that their babies are well taken care of when they're out and about, but seldom do we take the time to do that for ourselves. So now that I have a rolling briefcase (grad student books and woes)I can take more along with me. So today I have: 2 bottles of h2o, a kashi bar, my rice and veggie mixture, and some raw unsalted almonds. Wish me well!

In Peace & Victory,
Me

Warning..TMI ahead lol

Okay,

I didn't stick to 100% vegan, but my eating has improved. Most of the bumps have cleared up and I have more energy. I danced for a few hours Saturday and now my calves hurt...I don't think I've ever had sore calf-muscles! Especially since I wasn't doing too much of anything, just slow meditative movements. TV has basicly disappeared. I probably spent less than 5 hours this entire week on it. Yea for me! Still trying to get over the heartbreak, but hey, I can do this!

TMI: My BMs have been full and satisfying lol. When I eliminate, I feel totally cleaned out afterwards. Here's to roughage :-)
