Bonjour, readers! It's been ages, hasn't it? I took a little bit of a break from the grind that is blogging in order to work and work and work and work. That's my reality. I leave the house every morning Monday through Friday by eight thirty and I'm gone until dinner, sometimes later. I work so much that I am exhausted by ten thirty. If I want to go out with friends, it's at ungodly hours and for little no-fun-for-me trips to Wal Mart while I pick up things I need or such. And to top it off, for the passed week and a half I have fallen asleep texting my current interest (well, he seems to be more interested in me, but tomay-to, tomah-to). And now? He's angry. I apologized and explained that I was just tired, but he isn't too happy with me. I would say I'm sorry for being a working class American with her eyes on the prize, but I'm not sorry at all for doing that. I'm not the kind of chica to spend every waking moment talking to a potential playmate when I have better things to be doing. Plus I get bored. I don't want to talk to you allll the time, give me a break. I need time to think and collect myself; I can't do that with you cluttering up my cell phone with bad jokes and grade C conversation. I'm just not that way, take me or leave me.
I've decided that I'm going to start eating raw. What is that? It's eating in a way that allows you to absorb the maximum potential of the nutrients and live enzymes in foods to break it down faster and stay healthy. This means: no cooking foods over 112 degrees. I'm not just jumping into this, however. I'm starting first by eating entirely organic and then incorporating raw meals and snacks into my diet until I'm about 80% raw. I don't think I'll be able to go 100% percent raw because, let's face it...I like baked tilapia, cinnamon crunch bagels from Panera, popcorn, things like that. I'm fine with most of the decisions and life changes that need to be made to live this way and I'm very excited about doing it. The people that I've talked to about their experiences with it all say that they lost a lot of weight initially, but leveled out eventually. But they also say that they have seemingly boundless energy. That's something I could use for sure. I miss having energy and being fun and ready to go out. Currently, I'm burning the candle at both ends and I'm feeling drained because of it.
Also, I'm starting a new workout regimen on Tuesday with my dear friend Paige. She's marvelous. It's an every other day kind of workout, but I'm also taking up yoga. It's supposed to be calming and lord knows I need that. On my off days from the high impact workouts, I'm adding in my own low impact yoga or pilates or ballet conditioning kind of exercises. I'm also doing morning and evening yoga every day (or trying to, anyway). I really want to change my body and begin to see myself differently and in a more positive light because I noticed myself think this very thought the other day, I want to be skinny so bad. I don't care how I do it, I'll do anything for it. And I know that this isn't healthy. Above all, I want to be skinny. But I want to want above all to be healthy and happy. It's a work in progress. I'll post updates on here, but I need support and motivation. Help!
Well I'm off for some yoga. Until my next post, happy living. (:
P.S. Did anybody catch the joke in my post title? Ketchup...catch up...?? I guess if you have to explain it, then it wasn't a very good joke to begin with.
