How I did today

[amethystrse]

Yesterday I wrote a post with a list of goals I wish to do for my spiritual, mental, and physical well being. 

Today...I caught myself several times thinking negative thoughts.  I am amazed at how easily such thoughts enter my head.  When did I become such a negative person?  I could feel these thoughts sapping my energy and making me feel like crap.  I worked on being more positive and open minded.  I didn't get into a fight with my sister when normally I would've said something snarky at the least. 

I worked out.  Couldn't do it when the kids were up though so I did them now, after they went to bed.  I couldn't finish the workout but I did my best.  I'm out of shape so it may take a while before I can complete a session.  I'm going to do yoga before I go to bed.

I ate mostly raw, completely vegetarian.  I felt best when I was eating my salad for lunch.  I could definitly feel a difference between the cooked and uncooked food.  It only makes me more sure that raw is what my body needs and for much more than physical reasons.

I smoked a few cigarettes today but way less than usual.  I just have a few more left from the pack I bought two days ago.  That's great considering I was a pack a day smoker.  After these are done the patch will come on and I will be chewing on cinnamon sticks instead of smoking.

I haven't meditated yet.  I'm going to do that after yoga and a shower.

I feel good.  It's a start.  Change never happens overnight.
