I Shouldn't Care, but I Do

I managed to make it into work on time today. Not by a huge margin of time, but I wasn't late! Progress. I had several concrete reminders as to why I need to give myself more time to be on time. An old man going slow in front of me, a semi struggling to get up a hill (going very slowly), and just people in general. In no kind of rush to get anywhere. If I give myself more time, I won't get as agitated when things hold me up. Even if it means I don't get to lay in bed quite as long.

It was slow at work, so my manager let me go an hour early. Which was wonderful, because the weather was beautiful today. Snookums and I took the little kids to the park for while. We threw around the Frisbee, played football and badminton. I had a lot of fun, and we all got a little exercise. The kids enjoyed it as well. We've decided to do it more often. Especially with the nicer weather coming.

I felt so great after getting some exercise, it inspired me to get my gym bag in order and get back into working out daily. I stopped back in November when my energy levels were at an all-time low. But now that my iron levels (and everything else) are normal, it's time to get back into it. I feel so much better mentally, and physically when I work out. Plus, less time sitting around won't hurt me, either.

The vegan thing is still going well. I'm a bit surprised by how little interest I have in food these days. My life isn't dictated by what I'm eating next, or where we're going for dinner. I have my morning smoothie (full of fruit, oat bran, chlorella, matcha green tea, coconut oil, purifying powder, coconut water, and coconut milk), I have a light lunch, a light dinner, and maybe a snack before bed. I drink coffee in the morning, water and tea the rest of the day. I feel lighter, cleaner, less bound by cravings. Its almost a game to see how long I can keep this up. My only issue is sticking to my convictions while out with friends. This hasn't come up yet, but I worry about judgment from others. I know I shouldn't care, but I do.

In two weeks, I leave on my spiritual retreat. I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited too! I'm starting to think about what I want to take with me, what I want to do while I'm there. It's going to be exactly what I need..
