The Pursuit of Perfection

I don't really want to talk about work, but that's all I did today. I suppose I'll have to dig a little deeper for topics if I don't want to just discuss how much being at work bothers me. It actually wasn't too bad today. Payroll was a mess, so we got cut back to minimum coverage. Which means it was basically me, a manager, and a cashier from about 5:30 until close. I sold $3,991. $606/hr. Probably one of the best days I've ever had. At least, in a very long time. I don't think it'll pull my month out of the hole, but it will certainly help.

I haven't mentioned lately how wonderful it is to be vegan :) Whenever I think back to 2006 (the first time I attempted to go vegan), I wonder what changed this time around. I know for a fact that I did it for all the wrong reasons the first time. All I cared about was getting skinny and being perfect. It had nothing to do with ethics or even health, really. Just the pursuit of perfection. Now I definitely feel like I'm in it for all the right reasons. I love the way I feel, my conscious is clear, and I'm living my ethics. It's a beautiful existence.

I'm doing really well with the raw till 4 thing too, I haven't done any real research on what the particular program entails, I'm just literally eating raw until 4pm. I can feel how much more revitalized I am. When I don't have my smoothies, I feel tired and sluggish. I get headaches. Like yesterday, I didn't take my lunch smoothie and I had to take a 3 hour nap after work. Tonight I worked twice as hard, and I felt just fine when I got off. I just needed to get off my feet. It's a night and day difference.

I was thinking today that I should get serious about getting into shape. Not to be skinny, but just so I can be a healthy weight and in balance for once. No emphasis on being skinny. I'm already feeling amazing (for the most part). I want the outside to match the inside. I'm on the right path, I just need to keep moving forward...
