So far, this year I've accomplished several goals I've set for myself. I have slowly, but surely been dedicating some ME time for myself & organizing my priorities. The feeling that have come from making a list of specific objectives and fulfilling them to the max is great motivation. With every accomplishment I cross, another goal is added to the list. It's never-ending, but for the first time in a long time, I'm doing things I enjoy- things I only wished to be doing but never really set out to do. Blame fear & resentment with the unexpected turns life has taken me, but I feel like the creative teenager that I used to be is recovered. She's back better than ever & ready to learn!

I just decided this week, to become a vegetarian. Well, more like a lacto-ovo vegetarian because I am eating eggs & milk, but they are organic. Since Sunday, I haven't touched any meat & I feel good about it. Many reasons have led me to decide this, one being knowing all the info concerning the meat industry & farming. I've been reading The Real Food Revival by Sherri Brooks Vinton & am very motivated to eat nutritiously & awarely. I also want to incorporate more veggies & real food into my family & my diet. I'm not a super chef mom, but i'm trying to learn more about being as close to nature when it comes to what nourishes my body. Also, I have mentioned it to my family but am not forcing them to follow my ideas. Emiliano is willing to try & it's a battle trying to get Ada to eat healthy period. They both support me & more than anything, I want them to see me as an example that be eating healthy is fun & rewarding. I feel proud of myself on many levels, & I hope to be on this journey for as long as I can.
Emiliano & I have discussed mabe watching Food, Inc., but I've deicded I'd rather not. I don't think I can sit there & not cry, & I've been emotional lately.
