What You Will Into Being, Will Be

I didn't make it to the gym this morning. I woke up before my alarm went off, but my entire body felt like I'd been hit by a truck. I've been much more active the past week or so than I have been over the past several months. I decided there was plenty of time to go to the gym later, and instead, I laid in bed getting caught up on The Book of Awakening. I'm less than a month behind now. Which doesn't sound impressive, but I'm really trying to spend my time on each lesson and absorb the teachings. It wouldn't take me long to blaze through each day, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

I told myself as I was driving to work, that I would have a good day. There was no reason for me not to. Self-fulfilling prophecy is a powerful thing. What you will into being, will be. So, I chose to be happy. This is no great surprise, but I had a good day. I have this terrible habit of working myself up until I'm actually upset. I literally can think myself into a bad mood. It's stupid. But not today. Even when there were moments when I would usually start up some negative self-talk - I didn't! Baby steps...

After work, I made it to the gym. Nothing too strenuous, since I am still feeling ever so slightly sore. I did my weight routine with light weights, some stretching, and spent a little time on the cross training machine (it mimics the motion of cross country skiing). I'm trying to keep the focus more on eating well, and less on working out to the point of metabolic burnout. Being vegan is still going well. I can feel a huge difference in my body and how it utilizes the foods I eat. I feel well. Very well.

Tonight for dinner I made a really amazing pasta dish using lots of garlic, onions, wild mushrooms, brown rice pasta, and a gluten free herb gravy. It was so amazing. What was even better, was that the whole family loved it! Even my picky boys! Snookums and Keenan are usually the toughest to please, but I have to give Snookums credit. He's been very supportive of me lately. I appreciate it, even though I feel much more in control this time around. Definitely more prepared for what I've gotten myself into. I'm in it for the long haul.
