Hullo, my name is Amanda and it’s been two days since my last blog…

I’m a bit down today…lots of things to worry about I guess. I haven’t been following the diet very closely the past couple of days…it’s just easier to grab whatever’s nearby than go through the thought process of taking care. This doesn’t help matters any with the affective state…but we do what we can do, right? At the very least I am still swimming and creating good chemicals. I’m also trying to bury myself in my studies since there’s not a lot that I can do about the other stuff right now. Of largest physical concern to me right now is the rapidly decreasing flexibility that I am experiencing. I can’t afford to buy yoga classes, so I have to figure out some way to stretch out effectively…I may pull out some of my Pilates paper work…maybe I can re-create my mat classes from a few years back.

On one other note before I sign off for today—I’m putting a big cosmic “wonder” out there. I got no protein this week to speak of (no eggs, tofu, nuts, turkey or fish) and felt pretty horrible. Yesterday I forced down a can of tuna and felt better within the hour. I’m struggling with the heart/brain connection…my brain knows that I need to eat a balanced diet…my heart is still having trouble warming up to flesh. Anybody have any tricks to hide the animal protein behind yummy veggies…or space it out so that it’s not so overwhelming?

Peace, love and serenity to y’all…have a groovy weekend…be well…
