This weekend is a big one for me. I won't be working like normal, running around after dogs. Instead I will be shut up in my house typing and researching. On the 17th of this month I do my final and last presentation for school to get my degree. The last 10 months are all riding on this one paper I have to defend based on what I choose to do with a client (how I counseled etc). Normally, I would eat willy nilly to just keep going, throwing back Red Bulls and Dr. Pepper, eating Sonic or whatever food I could locate in my house. This time, I need the mental strength and clearness that I have experience in the past few weeks. An abundance of Red Bull and caffeine will only make me totally amphed up jittery and fast food will make me sluggish. How in the world did I live like that before?
Hippocrates said, "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food." I fed myself crap and my brain gave me back crap as well as my body. I feed myself good stuff and I get clarity and energy back. Hippocrates must have been on to something. Anyone else think that?
Before I forget, Tuesday I returned to dance. I get a lot of low aerobic exercise at work Fri-Mon however it really doesn't do much for my body other than keep me moving. I'm thankful I've had at least that int he past 10 months because who knows how big I'd be, how tired etc. I quit dancing 3-5 nights per week when I started this process of getting my masters. Tuesday's schedule changed some and I was able to go to a beginners Ballet Class. My legs felt like jello when I was done. BUT I MADE IT THROUGH IT! I was so chuffed! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to. I still have some doubts about will my plant based diet sustain me during a work out, even an easy one? Well it did. I'm excited to try to fit it in on Tuesday's between my last counseling session and class.
till next time.
