No Title Thursday

My creativity is waning today.  I've been reading a book for seminary that has zapped all creativity right out of my being.  Interestingly the book title is The Body of God.  I do not recommend this book for persons newly interested in ecotheology.  I am sloshing (aka my tears) through words such as "Cartesian" or "epistemological" or reading sentences such as "The first rule is the Second Law of Thermodynamics"-- and I'm only on page 57!!!! It is taking too long to get through this book and I lose my place when I have to stop and look up a word or a hundred AND rifle through old science books refreshing myself to THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS!!!!! ARRRGGGGG

Moving on.....

How was your yesterday, Grainiacs?  Did you pick a routine (resolution) and only one????  Now don't overwhelm yourself this early in the game.  My resolution/ routine is walking for 15 minutes around a track in my house.  For the past 4 days I have set the microwave timer and away I go.  Today I walked in my pjs!  Next week I'll be on-campus at seminary.  I plan to blog about my "new routine" of walking around the campus.  Life happens and gets in the way.  The forming of my 21 day habit will be interrupted.  I will not let this stop me from picking it back up once I get home.  If I walk on-campus and keep going with the 15 minute walk (which might turn in to a longer one), I will most likely come home and pick right back up walking around my home track.  Baby-steps, but realistic baby-steps.  Yes life happens and interrupts the best of intentions but to make excuses about when to start or getting off track and not getting back on track will not sway me on this journey.

Yesterday I tracked everything I ate.  I made a huge pot of zero calorie WW garden vegetable soup.  Each time I felt the need to snack, I spooned out a cup of soup.  My soup has cabbage (hee hee, sorry family!), green beans, zucchini, carrots, onions, and diced tomatoes.  I am getting my veggies while re-training my body to crave healthy snacks versus other things I won't mention so I won't tempt you!  I am not claiming this as a resolution or routine because I don't want to burden myself with too many things to remember.  But if by chance this action of eating soup when I get hungry sticks, well then, all the better.  In going against my grain, I seem to trick my brain too!

Today is a new day!  If you didn't get started yesterday with a routine or it backfired on you-- begin again with me.  We can do this...one baby-step at a time.  I'd love to hear from you.  What is your routine? How is it going?
