today:
one full week. i can honestly say that in just comparing how i felt last sunday compared to this sunday, it’s a world of difference.
a few observations:
- i feel much more present. whether i’m walking rosy, or talking to a friend, or even just enjoying a meal, i am more able to be in the moment. i have no idea why this is, but eating this way just makes me feel more alive, whole and present.
- despite the tiniest bit of head cold left, i can smell the ocean from my apartment window.
- i want to try new things! all of the sudden i’m interested in cooking, i want to take meditation classes, i want to find new hiking trails, see all of the 80s movies my boyfriend is dying for me to see. without some of my usual things to rely on for enjoyment (weekends out eating at restaurants and drinking red wine), i’m ready to hit the hay early and get up and get going!
- i am getting a TON done. in the past week i’ve probably gotten more done then i have in the past month.
- stuff tastes good. like really good. i think without the inflammation that gluten and dairy cause i can experience everything i eat, through smell and taste, just that much better.
- and it has been a little bit like world war III in our apartment this past week, but after much discussion, my beau and i’ve realized that we are both processing a lot and are working now to process it together.
and although i’ve been too sick to get back into my yoga/running/spinning/hiking routine, i cannot wait to see how i feel after one week of eating and living this way.
happy sunday!
