Week 8: Day 48

A year from Now you may wish
You had started Today
-Karen Lamb

 went on a mini hiatus, there was no essays for week 6 or 7 because I was not in NYC.  Actually for week 6 I was preparing to go to leave and week 7 I was in Takoma Park MD.  It was the mini break I give myself for my birthday.   I would prefer the time closer to the b-day but circumstances did not allow it.  I needed this vacation, like a starving person needs rice to eat.  I was getting stressed I think it was beginning to show in the things I do.  My writing and my attitude about everything was not good, I was heading for the break down and it would not have been pretty. 

In MD, I didn’t keep to any specific food guidelines.  I don’t think I over did anything either.  However feelings of fullness have plagued me since I arrived home, so a cleansing might be the next big move I do for my own sense of wellness.  The water challenge was a little difficult to achieve. Water in different states have a unique taste to them.  It is different from NY’s water.  I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing.  Bottled water was used and they too have a unique flavor, strange because water is not supposed to have a flavor.  But how else to describe the nothing taste of water.  Sometimes it more than just bland. I first thought it was the brand of water but I am tasty the blah in a brand of water I always drank.  I don’t know why that is, perseverance is a must though, I want to reap the benefits. 

In the time I have been away, I have received two boxes of graze snacks.  The Ady*graze
company promotes themselves as having tasty, healthy and proportioned snack foods for the conscientious person sent through the mail.  So far I have only seen some interesting combinations of crunchy and soft foods. I got roped in the free trial box.  This is not an endorsement or disapproval, only my humble opinion.   

The goals for this week is to begin the food journal, measure water intake and come up with an exercise routine even if it just walking up and down my drive way or block.  It has been avoided enough and without it tangible success will be limited.
