It's been awhile

"If you are bored, then you are boring" is a line my husband says.  I am not sure why I stopped writing on this blog.  I guess I got a little bored with summer. Restlessness is in my genes. My father always paces the floor at home and struggles to sit down even for a few moments. There has been plenty to say, but just not the juice in me to say it. I apologize.

Like my summer which has had its highs and lows, so too did my plan to eat clean and mostly vegetables. It is funny how changing one's diet can be such a struggle.  Bad habits are hard to break whether they are biting finger nails, smoking, drinking, or just eating too many Asian noodle dishes (my guilty pleasure!!).

50% of the time I am making the conscious decision to eat well. 50% of the time I fall into old habits. Interestingly, as the start of the school year approaches, I am more inclined to eat well than before. The gym is some place I see myself going to more consistently as well.  Perhaps the summer is my pitfall.  Like other teachers, I am given too much free time and wander the months of June, July, and August a bit aimlessly.

Excitedly, I am heading to a psychic tomorrow to see if there are any "ripples" in my future that he can feel. Perhaps he will tell me something like, "Eat well because there is disease in your future." Or, "I see a long life ahead for you." Or, "Watch out your bad habits are taking hold."  Or, "Be prepared for some BIG changes in your future." Funny how I feel like I will listen more to my future predictions than to my present self.  Or that I will value the words of this stranger more than my own meager attempts at dedication. But in the back of my mind the impending cervical dysplasia exam of January, 2012 looms.

I need to get my head back into the game. It is time to throw the excuses aside and just work at my school work and my health work. Together these will hopefully set me up for success of body and soul. But I am very excited to see what this psychic has to say too.  Do we both see the same future for me?
