FOOD AND BODY

I'm getting back in the self-improvement zone. I am refocusing on my meditation practice which is good, good, good for me. I also want to turn my attention towards my body - what I put in it and how I move it daily.

Yesterday I ate 4 (!!!) biscuits with butter and jam, some leftover pasta w/ sausage and broccoli rabe, steak, potato wedges, salad, and a pint of Ben and Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream. In truth my husband helped with the ice cream, but I think I could have polished off that pint on my own...

And what did I do physically to burn off some of thise useless calories? NOTHING! I read for a couple of hours. I surfed the web (it's called surfing; shouldn't that count as physical activity?). I cooked the delicious steak dinner we ate. Not a good balance of food/activity.

I think my yesterday was necessary to push me into a healthier today and tomorrow. I will eat better and move my body today. And when I decide I need a cookie, I'll just remind myself of the pint of ice cream I ate yesterday...
