Asian Jamaican: Revisiting Whole Foods

First of all, it's Wednesday & I still haven't had my 34 (I don't know why I didn't put 32) oz of water.  But, I am not going to kick myself for it.  I am going through everything that DJ & Tex have been talking about: Feeling a little entitled, getting off routine, not being prepared.  Oh Lawd, I need to get rid of the entitlement and get on my routine by being prepared.  I will say this, for once I am not beating myself up for what I would consider failure.  The magic is in my mental state of being.  Something really resonated & clicked for me in my call with Tex.  My energy levels have been surprisingly good.  I haven't felt good energy in a really long time.  I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to have her as a coach :)!  

I am getting back to eating whole foods.  I had about two cups of raspberries for breakfast & two bananas for my morning snack.  Dinner/lunch wasn't as healthy, but I felt really good with the whole food breakfast.  I am beginning to gravitate towards what my body feels it needs which is fruits & veggies with some protein thrown in there.  When I first started my journey to lose 50 lbs last year, I was strictly Paleo.  But now I feel like if it grows out of the ground, swims, flies or runs I eat it.  If I want a freaking banana I eat it.  Too much sugar?  Really?  A 32 oz coke is too much sugar!  I am wrastling with getting my eating down first.  That will come to fruition by this weekend - promise!!!

Here is how I envision my days as far as food goes:

     Wake up - drink water

      Make a juice or eat a ton of fruit

     Lunch will be a homemade chicken soup or something with good protein

      In between will be green juices

      Light dinner

I can survive on that.  Oh-I'll also eat when I am hungry.  I don't believe in starving myself.  

So I figured out what's going to get me on routine.  I have to have my place of serenity in my home.  The reason I haven't gotten everything down at the moment is I am busy cleaning up my condo & creating a sacred space for me to be in.  I am about 95% done & plan on being finished by this weekend.  SO EXCITED.  Then I can just focus on cooking & prepping for my days!!!  

I have to wait til the 15th to sign up for yoga because that's when I get paid.  One thing I am excited about is I am taking a trapeze class in September!!  I contacted one of my friends who is already taking from this place & she said she wanted to pick up another class.  So lo & behold we will be trapeze artists <insert mad giggling>!

I got my stitches out today & have to go back to the periodontist on October 16th.  That's two months from now & I want to make a dent in my goals by then.  Good health = good healthy gums, eh?

Ok, sorry I tend to ramble.  I am so glad to see Tex & DJ Meli Mel forging ahead.  That too makes me want to push ahead.  We are so going to go forth & conquer!!!  xo Asian
