Master Blaster

-
I want to kick off the new year on the right foot. I want to do a total body cleanse - a master cleanse. Problem is that I should have started it earlier. Now it is almost time to go back to work and I am sitting on my butt, unmotivated and lacking energy. I want to start it today, but I still have "bad" foods in the house. I will just be setting myself up for failure if I start a cleanse and then jump right back into eating 'unwholesome' foods. I think I have the meat that I am going cook tonight for my new year's dinner. I will probably just eat it once and then freeze the rest. I will likely wind up having to the throw the rest out - the chocolates I got for the holidays and the egg nog (gasp!) I had a lot of respiratory and congestion issues last year and I feel like reducing my dairy intake and doing more cleanses (physical and spiritual) will help.
  • I need to get to a point where I am motivated to get back in the gym consistently
  • I need to get back to a point where I am ONLY making healthy choices when it comes to food
  • I need to get to a point where I am cleansing my mind daily with meditation and personal/spiritual growth
  • I need to get back to a place where I am taking care of me and not putting others ahead of me.
I am on the right track. I went grocery shopping on New Year's Eve and made choices that will be helpful with staying the course. The hardest part is going to be saying no at work when something I like is being served.  I am also diligently taking my vitamins every day. Hopefully they are counteracting some of the other things I am doing to my body.

I am making an effort to read more. I lost my love of reading years ago. On a rare afternoon I might pick up and book and read for a while, but I don't read the way I used to.

I am under fire. There is a spiritual battle being waged against me. I am fighting it, but it takes a lot out of me. I want to be energetic again. I want to be genuinely joyful again. I feel that submerging myself in positive uplifting music, literature, and meditation will get me back to a place where I am moving forward. Being stuck is one of the worst feelings in the world. I always want to make progress. I always want to look forward to new experiences. I want to leave behind the negativity that tried to permeate the end of 2009 and recapture the positive energy that exuded and reveled in...I just need to unearth it.

Here is health, happiness, and good hair days!

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
