i do not live with regrets

even if today has been especially hard.

i had a bit too much to drink last night.

do i regret it?

i dont like regrets.

i didnt like getting up at 8 after falling asleep at 5. then sleeping from 1030-1. then from 5 to 7.

i didnt like seeing the sun this morning. i didnt like loud noises. and i didnt like standing.

but we greeted the morning with our list of loves.

"i love waking up." "i love blankets." "i love music." "i love fun."

our plans took a backseat. we did not drive to the coast like we planned today.

we did venture out into the world for a short period, to pick up some new books from the local book store (go support your local businesses pleaseandthanks).

and we went to the supermarket.

i needed some raw foods.

thats right friends, its time for a revival. its time for a challenge. its time to care about me in ways i havent.

i was a vegetarian for YEARS. and i know that in the beginning it can take some serious willpower. mostly because once you decide to make a lifestyle choice around food, things suddenly pop up to tempt you. its the irony of buying a car and then seeing the exact same one everywhere you look (that also happened to me. but my Fyundai is much better than yours).

these things have been around for a long time, but its not until you decide to go raw that you see twice as many adverts for burgers and tasty treats.

today went off without a hitch. i am confident in my abilities to maintain this lifestyle because i want it.

if you dont want it, youll ditch it.

i am confident also that after a period i will go back to vegetarian. i love me some grilled asparagus, zucchini and onions. yum.

switching from coffee to juice and tea and WATER. i have a horrible tendency to not drink what i should.

i feel powerful to be so simple in what i eat. its not about pizza or carbs or bread.

its about healthy options, with the vitamins and nutrients in tact.

and its about respecting myself to do whats right, and not just tasty schmasty.

its about a type of rebirth. respecting ME.

getting new books to open my eyes and my ears.

new foods.

new ways of life.

its time to be something other than the waste of space this body was taking up before. why just live our lives surviving when we can thrive?

i want energy and gusto!

likely a new favorite word.

just saying.

we'll check in.

reevaluate YOUR life. YOUR eating and find something that helps you feel BETTER.
