Day 643

Leave a reply

Everything in moderation – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 6 : 23  PM on day 643 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go to church, go shopping for clothes for my brother – he made it on the Border Badminton Team so during winter break, which starts this week Friday, he’s going to the annual Border tournament (we are all VERY proud of him) –   go visit my family,   feed myself a chicken burger for brunch,    publish my Disability of the Day feature, prepare and publish my Kid of the Week feature – I LOVE the story of this week’s Kid of the Week, Talia Leman, she raises money to fund projects of other kids like her who have a vision to make a difference  – and work,

This morning my dad took us – my siblings and I –  out for burgers in honour of Father’s Day and since I knew it would be rude to say I no longer eat junk food I ate the burger surprising though in eating the burger I realized I could have junk food once in a while and still be as healthy as I wanted to be I suppose that’s the problem with us people  we either love someone or we hate them, we either eat healthily or unhealthily, we’re either at war or at peace, we struggle to find a happy medium.  Do you go from one extreme to another?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.

Day 306

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering – an image of death. – Buddha

It’s 10: 47 PM on day 306 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself Batura and potato for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – feed myself oranges for lunch, prepare my Kid of the Week feature for tomorrow, tweet about my campaign some more – it’s so depressing it seems like most people care more about Marc Antony and Jlo getting divorced than they do about children dying of hunger and thirst 🙁 – read What Am I Responsible For? on Spiritual Journey of a Lightworker – a very good blog post about letting go of the things you don’t control – have dinner with my extended family – we had heaps of fun playing 30 Seconds – the board game – 🙂 – and brush my teeth once more.

At 4 AM this morning I woke up with an excruciating pain in the left-hand side of my lower back and although the same thing had happened last Friday I took the fact that it happened a second time as a sign that I should change my lifestyle – replacing all the “white foods” e.g. pasta and rice with “brown foods” e.g. whole-grain pasta and brown rice eliminating carbonated drinks, chips and fast food and adding fruits and vegetables to my diet in conjunction with thirty minutes of exercise daily – and it is my greatest hope that you will follow in my footsteps more or less making your own replacements, eliminations and additions as you go along. Are you taking care of your health so that you can live life to the fullest?
