a life outside yourself

its funny that i was just talking about loving my body and being nice to it. its funny because i treated it so poorly last night. oh gin and tonics. you hit me and you hit me hard!
definitly in the top 3 of times i have been so wasted i blacked out. actually. i blacked out while i was puking and hit my head on the toliet. real classy. so right now my body is rebeling, and it has every right to. but this isnt a drinking blog. well, not yet anyways....
it did bring to my attention the fact that my body, and this may seem obvious, is a living breathing thing. that sounds overly simply stated, but its kinda wierd....
you actually have to take really good care of your body for it to blossom. we all know this. the more exercise and water i drink, the more clear my skin gets and the more sleep i get the less baggage i get under my eyes.
try and think of your body as a living breathing thing OUTSIDE of your self.
and it is literally the only one that you are going to get! well, unless you are going to be re-incarnated....but that is a whole other story! so i am going to start thinking about it this way. i am so complicated and there are so many sides to be nurtured: emotional, spirtual, sexual, physical...
which leads me back to love. love my body. take care of it as if it were something i cherished and wanted to keep for the rest of my life. i think i have been taking this for granted. for granted that i will always have youth and health.
my stepfathers mom, grandma annabell passed away today at the age of 80. we were not super close, but she was always so kind to me, i will defenitly have a sad place in my heart for her.

  2. I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma Annabell. Close or not, it's always a wake up call when you lose someone.

    As far as the drinking, you've had lots of fun with that already (especially with me @ Patsy's - lol now THAT'll bring back some memories...or... maybe not... haha). If you feel like you're missing out on something fun, just think of all the fun you've already had and it'll help you refocus on what you are set out to accomplish. I know you can do this, since you can do anything you put your mind to. :)

    What I have noticed is that there are lots of ways to help the water intake since water is so important, yet can be so...boring! There are many zero or low-calorie mixes you can use that will also help curb your hunger. I really enjoy the Special K protein water mixes since it comes in a variety of flavors (teas, fruit, etc) and helps the hunger level. Crystal Light is another great way to get more water since you can just make a large mix to keep in the fridge or individual packets for a water bottle.

    Keep it up! Love ya!
