Drank 2 swallows of muscle milk banana creme – yuk! The kids can have that one. Switched to the Chocolate one, 25 grams protein. Downed a salad with lentils smothered on top like a salad dressing -felt very out of place and on tongue. Wondered what time of day it was… Nowhere but up for my day to go from here.
Went for a walk – two miles or so I think. Weather was wonderful but since I love my job so much my brain wanted to get to work. Hurried back home for my 4 hour work week that I repeat 12 times a week. You can do the math. I really love my job, and have a minimalist social life.
Showered and caught myself looking in the mirror. I look good for 42, toned, curves under control. Why do I put myself through the latest fad diets? Why do I tend to think I need some external plan to motivate me to do good? With the billions made in selling the public the latest diet idea, seems I am not alone.
But moreover, how do I really feel about myself? Am I happy inside? Am I satistfied inside? And do I love ME? Heck yeah! But not all the time.
Why do we simply follow the diet laid out in front of us? The career, the financial plan, the relationship, the health plan? What diet are you following? And does it leave you with a good taste in your mouth? Do you smile when you think of you?
