I'm a living vapor...

After the Thanksgiving weekend, my diet has been horrible...horrible, horrible, terrible. I've been eating chicken, fish, shrimp, pork, and other bad unhealthy stuff. The weird thing is that I'm pretty conscious about it too. I've also began to notice how I'm gaining weight again and I feel really bad. I still want to incorporate the healthy "Eat to Live" diet into my lifestyle, I just think it's gonna be a slow process because I LOVE food. The plus side of doing the diet was figuring out ways to have vegetarian/vegan meals at home and at restaurants. There are a variety of foods I got to try since doing this diet and it's pretty amazing. Even though I have been slacking off, I really want to get back into the diet and start changing my choices. I do want to get off these medications and I do want to start feeling good about myself. I figure, part of my new year's  resolution is to commit to this diet and only eat the "bad" foods on a r...

You know what I realized today? I'm a dreamer. My mind is so full of imagination that sometimes it makes me come up with so many possibilities of so many things. I'll have ideas for projects, a vision for what it (or they) could become. When I have these dreams, my heart races and I am so passionate to start making those dreams come true. There is a downfall, though. I'm not very consistent. At a certain point, I lack motivation and determination to see these dreams come to completion. I think part of it has to do with the fact that sometimes progress or change doesn't come immediately. I get discouraged about it and...give up. There are some moments before giving up that I have hope. That little piece of hope fuels my ambition and it works for a time. But, as I said earlier, when I don't see anything happening I tend to withdraw. This revelation did not become clear to me until now. A few days ago, I struggled with this idea that I may get married someday. ...

Last week was the last week of the 6 week challenge. Last week was also the week of Thanksgiving, so you can imagine the conflict I had encountered. Ok, well not really. I had two slices of turkey breast and three pices of BBQ pork...and it was so good. I was trying to savor every bite, lol, before I go back to the strict diet. It's weird that I would be calling the past 6 weeks a "trial" session because even after that, I'm still going to incorporate the diet into my lifestyle. I really do believe that I have made so much more improvement since starting this diet. Most of my joints have been feeling better. The joints that still bother me are my hips and a little on my ankle. I don't know if it has to do with not strictly abiding to the strict diet (I avoid meats, though) or the cold weather. ---------------------- Today has been a really good day, too! -Sushi Social = SUCCESS!! -Before my next class, I got to hang out with some peeps :] -Last Day of one o...
