Day 2

Day 2 was a huge unexpected success. I felt happy and motivated most the day. I Chanted my mantra that I wrote for myself a couple times throughout the day Out loud, It gave me such a feeling of power. I felt like by being so conscious of the things that I chose to think about, and do with my day, I was empowered with the ability to choose which traits in myself will become part of my overall character. I feel so driven by an unrealized power of choice. I can choose how to react to things, I can choose what I put in my body, I can choose whether I spend my day being acted upon by circumstance or gut reactions, or whether I act on the circumstances of the day consciously and end my day closer to being the person that my Heavenly Father had hoped I might become by coming here to this earth in the first place. I had my first success tonight with food with Jordan. Over the last couple of years everything that I have tried to make from this type of diet plan has been met with discust and even refusal to even try some of them. I made the tofu ranch dressing from doctor Furmans book to eat to live. Then I made a simple black bean, tomato avocado, type salad to go on top of the bed of spinach. Despite his total assumed disdain for tofu....( I say assumed because he hasn't even tried it) he loves the dressing loved the salad and said he felt satiated and full! He was happy because he felt like perhaps he could do this with me and still enjoy what he eats and I am happy because I am reveling in my first ever success with this lifestyle. I'm more excited to try other things now ...the California creamed kale in doctor Furman's book also went over really well with the kids and was okay for Jordan! I'm far more excited now than I have been ever over these last couple years after starting to read these books. I now know it's possible, attainable and enjoyable. It doesn't have to be starvation , and I don't have to spend my day wasted away craving processed sugars and fat and dairy. So here's to day 2! Hopefully, even though I expect set backs. it will only get better from here.
