Today I figure out that I would under take a serious health journey to better eating and a healthier life style that what I have been living.
I know that my eating habits have been just atrocious lately. I have been under alot of stress since the begining of October with P. telling me that he was going to move out. My emotions has been really dead until last night when I broke down crying realizing that this is the last week him and his son will be living with me. I know that I have been busy filling my head with movies, books as well as filling my body with comfort food. It isn't good.
I guess you can say that watching the movie "Super Size Me" on Sunday. I made me realize actually what I could really be doing with my body, without me realizing it, since I am not going for bi-weekly checkups like Morgan Spurlock was during the filming of his documentary. Just watching what was happening to him, made me realize that what I am putting in my body is severely upset and disrupting my perfect function of my body.
I also know that my relationship with P. has not been the healthest as the negative feedback and output has put me in a quandry as to how to proceed in the relationship. This negative-ness has caused to me become more or an emotional eater then I have ever been in the past, as well as see the negative aspect in everything around me. I have also fallen away from my passion for God. NOT GOOD. I have been miserable and this is the start of a new life, a positive journey to becoming a healthier "me" as I detox, heal and more of less pick myself up by my boot straps.
I have set certain ground rules toward this journey that I will be partaking. These are the basic rules I must following during this journey:
1. NO Fast food what so ever! No excuses. If I go hungry because I didn't pack my lunch, then I will learn from the hunger pains to pack my lunch.
2. I will spend a short amount of time Water fasting and/or juice fasting in order to detox my body from all the impurities in my body.
3. I will keep a food journal of all the food I eat, in order to see visually the various healthy/unhealthy things I am putting in my body (such as my Friday morning dounut and my favorite pulled pork nachos -which I will miss so very much!)I have learned from past experiences when I have written down the true results of my monthly budget, when I see all the "eating out" receipts, I see how much money I waste on fast food and the like. By doing this, I will be able to curb alot of this.
4. I will spend alot of time focusing on reading my Bible. My goal is reading it at least 5 days a week, if not every day. This time is so when I get the the water fasting part of my journey, I will be open spiritually to God, something I really miss.
5. I will say daily affirmations to myself, remind myself of the blessing of God and pray daily. I will keep a daily grateful list, so I will not forget what blessing I have, regardless on what might be going on or what type of stress I might be facing.
6. I will take the time to wipe out, throw away, organize and replace anything in my life that I find out that is negative for me and/or causing me to develop a bad habit i.e. throw out all junk food, deleting text messages from P. that cause me to feel horrible/unloved.
7. During my journey, I will drink water, unsweetened tea and only healthy personally "juiced" juices. No juices that have been processed
That is it for now. I am sure I will come up with some newer rules as time goes on.
So far the day has been good.
EARLY UPDATE for October 26, 2010
BREAKFAST: I didn't have breakfast this morning, but a cup of tea.
LUNCH: For lunch I had a wonderful Chef salad (A healthy collection of lettuces, spinach, green pepper, black olives,red onion, mushrooms, a little bit of cheese and a vinigrette (I know that is bad!)
I had two bottles of 20 ounce water. I am sure I will have more before bed time.
DINNER: Unknown as this time (I will update what I will have in my next post)
EXERCISE: I probably will take a walk if it is possible, since it is raining out.
THOUGHTS: I will be thinking about when I might like to start my water fast, and work it out that during detox time, I will be on vacation. I have to remember that around November 10, my mother will be visiting.
