I've started leaving my vitamins out on the counter so I'll remember to take them. For a girl whose diet has consisted lately mainly of coffee and chocolate based liquids, chips, and miniature Christmas chocolates, this is important. I'm trying to take them twice a day because both calcium and vitamin E can only be absorbed so much at a time.
I've relaxed about a lot of things lately, two of which are my diet and my running. I eat what I want when I want to. I run three times a week, more if I can, but I don't push it. Strangely enough, I feel better about myself than I ever have. Maybe it has something to do with giving myself a little more grace. When it comes to eating well, I'll admit that I don't really want to. I know it's a good idea, but I finally had to admit that I'm just not into it. I'd like to be into it, but I'm not. So I'm accepting that for what it is, accepting myself warts and all, recognizing that we are all flawed, and no one can perfect themselves all at once, let alone perfect themselves at all in this lifetime.
That, folks, is a beautiful thing.
And I feel good.
You know, as long as I take my vitamins...
