I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll this time.

Wow, it's been an enlightening two weeks. Even though I can't weigh myself yet due to the bathroom remodeling project, I can tell I'm still the incredible shrinking woman. I don't think I lost anywhere near what I did the first week. But then again, I've developed a few bad eating habits.

Still, I'm about 95% vegan/raw. Mostly fruits. I do have about a 1-2 tsp of olive oil a day. I allow myself to have olives, artichoke hearts, eggs, chick peas, and an occasional stuffed grape leave. Just to mix it up a bit.

I also had sushi yesterday.. so some rice and fish.

But.. I've started exercising again and have figured out a plan for that.

I'm still losing weight and I look and feel way better than I have in about a year. I'd love to lose another 10 this month, but we shall see. Consistency is the most important thing.

I'm very excited about it. I feel like I've turned some kind of corner, which is nice. It helps that it's spring and we are getting outside. The sun is shining and the snow is melting (finally).

PLUS I got my Radiohead seat assignments for the concert in May. I'm <> this close to booking the airline tickets.. so I'm PUMPED about that too.

I was thinking today about how our culture places a high value on people with special talents, artistic, athletic, people who stand out because they shine at what they do. And I realized that the funny thing is.. we all have special talents for which we will be revered.

What is it? What do you love to do? That's what it is. Begin peeling away the layers of what you have been told all of your life that you "have" to do or what you "should" do and discover what it is you most WANT to do.

It's there that we all find our true joy and fullfillment.
We see it so readily in others. Why is it so difficult to see in ourselves?
