The Plan

Here is the Plan.

I want to be my best. I like how I am. But I want to be my best.

I want to run my body like an efficient machine. Food and motion and release my self from all sense of "rejecting" thoughts I create within mine own head.

I am going to make these changes slowly. Hopefully I will be ready by the 1st week of feb. when my yoga training begins.
I am so excited I don't want to wait until then. If that is 101, I am doing my own pre req's.

Diet is one of them.
I am not going to nose dive. I am going to do this in a manner that is user friendly. For example- I don't like bread. Therefore, I am not really going to include that in my daily meals. Another example: I love fish, so I plan to eat more of that. So, let;s see:
Lists are good for this, I will reduce, increase or maintain. I think quitting is for quitters.

reduce bread increase fish maintain coffee
reduce cheese increase water
(if not fresh cheese) increase greens
reduce chicken increase breakfast
reduce days spent
hungover


ok, let me explain.
I don't like bread it makes me feel slow and full so, why eat it- other than a way to get butter in my mouth.
My facial lady is convinced that cheese is not good for my skin. I believe her. She did, however tell me that fresh cheese isn't as horrible. I love cheese, so I will try my best. Chicken. yuck. I'm sorry but I can say that I don't like it. I think I was a vegetarian for 8 years of my life because I never liked chicken. It's true. Hangovers. blech. The days I eat like a frat boy are (not ironically) the days I am hungover. Pizza, cuban sandwiches, burgers, fried mozz, even mayonaise are scientifically proven ( by my extensive research) to mend hangovers.

Ok. on to the positive.
I love fish, I love sushi- why fight it.
I try to drink water. But I'm thinking I must try hawder???
Greens, as in produce- make me feel good. So I'm increasing them.
Breakfast? thinnest I ever have been, I can honestly say was partially due to eating breakfast.

coffee. "you take the good you take the bad" I take my coffee and tea. Baby steps.

And I move forward.

a great example

this is a great example of how much I am usually full of shit. I wrote this when I was 29. I am going to be 31 in april. haha. 31. It's awesome. And don't let me hear you complain about turning 30- what's the alternative? death? It's awesome being 30. You get to tell people (who are usually surprised) "I'm 3o" they listen. kind of.

So, this is where I plan to post and journal my latest endeavor.
Becoming a yoga teacher.
Oh, are you yawning? I'm not insulted. More room for me on my mat. I am making the changes I want to see in myself and my lifestyle. And by the way, this isn't let your heart hug your rib cage meditation. This is "you can do whatever you visualize" 97 degree power yoga. And I am thankful to be just vain enough to take action over my life, (mind body & fitness) and I am ready to make this life flow- exactly how I would like it to develop.

I love myself and you should too! Vanity Smurf, Miss Piggy, they all ruined the notion of self love. It's the best. But you can love your self and your body and your mind and still seek room for improvement. I am super excited as I plan to evolve.

ps. I am also a real estate agent & restauranteur so plan for plenty of contradiction!!!
