Last night I had a therapy session. I love therapy. Anyway, I was reminded of my own light and that fear keeps me from really flourishing in the middle of change. When you're constantly watching out for bad things that MIGHT happen, you miss the opportunity to truly love where you are.
As part of this, I've been thinking about health in relation to family life. I've always been interested in health and nutrition but only as it affected me. I've been thinking one important way to thrive in this new life is to stay healthy. When I met The Mister, I was actually attempting veganism. But as I was trying to make nice with his family, I abandoned it so I wouldn't seem rude by not eating their food. That started a landslide where I have simply resorted to all my bad food habits ever (I've eaten way too many cheetohs and Reeses Puffs in the last year. Oh, the shame.) I've just had so much to do and think about that food has gone to the very end of the list.
Well, I'm bringing it back up. If I'm going to keep the energy and vitality to really love this new life, then I'm going to need my body working well. So I'm cleaning it up a little at a time. My first step is a sugar fast that started today. Refined sugar. I've done this once before for 30 days, and I loved the extra energy I had. I think my next step will be to make an effort to add more veggies to my diet.
I've been trying to eat 6 fruits/veggies a day...it's a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Yay! I've been doing a sugar reduction as well (I'd say fast, but I keep messing it up). And good for you Heidi, I can barely get one of each a fruit and a veggie per day.
