The girls and I have decided to start walking to school everyday when the weather is nice. It took about 30 minutes each way and Delaney was 'exhausted' (dramatic sigh). She came home afterward and crawled under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate. I on the other hand felt great. The air was fresh and crisp and the exercise gave my brain the kick-start it needed to take on the day.
I have had a good day today. I have started tracking my food intake on my iPhone using the 'Lose It' App. I have tried this before but I was more looking at the calories rather than the food I am eating. I am going to focus more on 'keeping it real' and not processed. I have been feeding my body unpronounceable chemicals for so many years its a wonder I have not been pickling my organs in the process.
Hopefully between the extra physical activity, tracking my food intake and being more aware of my emotions and how they correlate to food I will continue on the path to good health.
Now for another conundrum. The release of Avatar is today and I am battling every fiber in my being not to run out and buy the blu-ray. I have been anticipating this release for months but my new resolution is not to buy 'stuff' just because I feel compelled to. I know that the film will feed my creative spirit and take me to another world that only dreams are made of....but I am I using this professional 'write-off' as an excuse to get what I want. I am unsure of myself and cannot determine if it is my addiction that is telling me to buy it or if I really feel my creative will benefit from it.
For now I have resolved to think about it first. If I can make it to next week this time without buying then maybe I can determine that I am making a logical decision rather than an emotional one. Wish me luck on this my first test. I hope I pass...maybe Eywa will give me the answer (geek joke - had to do it)
