If you've been following along, you know that I have recently put my foot down and taken on the challenge of truly changing my lifestyle. That's not to say that I was living a horrible existence eating nothing but Cheez Whiz (I think that any food that ends with a Z may not actually be a real food) and Kraft Dinner, but it can always be better. Exercise – things are definitely better, but food wise... I'll tell ya....lately that foot that stomped with such determination is treading a little too lightly. It happens so fast that before you know it you find yourself at Starbucks and notice that they are a little too happy to see you again.
The book that I have read and re-read recently is “The Kind Diet” by Alicia Silverstone. I agree with almost everything that she writes and I carry it with me when I go grocery shopping. Although becoming completely vegan is not for me (yet), she does a fabulous job of sharing a better way of living (eating) and why in a language that I can understand. She presents options that are easy to follow and based on the pictures, incredible delicious.
This note is just to share that change isn't easy. For me at least. Time, convenience, and shear laziness play a role in the choices I make everyday. The one quote that has stuck with me from that book is: “when I've lost my way, I thank God I have a way to lose”.
Each second that ticks by presents another opportunity to make a different choice.
Have an amazing day.
