Control

Plenty of things are out of your control, yet you actually have a lot of control over your health, happiness and life – and it all starts with your mouth. What you put in it, and the words that come out of it, determine your destiny. Shitty nutrition and verbal self-abuse will wear you out. Change the menu, rewrite the recipes and say yes to yourself. What’s one thing you’re doing to take control? -Kris Carr

Different Views

Yesterday was my birthday and I decided to eat some appetizers at the Craggy Range with some friends. One of my friends I was with made it a point to tell me he didn't agree with my decision. Ok, everybody is entitled to their opinion. I thought that was the end of it.
Today he went off even more. I respect peoples opinions but I'm the one thinking about what I put into my body every single day and every single meal. If I want to put something in my body that isn't good for me, that is my choice. I myself will pay for it, not anybody else.

I realize this person cares very deeply for me. I can take opinions, but if a person can't drop the subject then I don't want to hang out with you anymore. I don't need or have the time for any Debbie Downers.

Time to write

My life has been a roller coaster this year. So I figured with my birthday yesterday, that it is time that I write all this stuff down and share it with other people. Maybe it can help someone else and if it doesn't, at least I am getting stuff out.
I also plan on taking a picture once a day to describe what kind of mood I'm in. If I can't find something to describe my mood then I will steal it off the internet. That's what it's for, right?
