How I did it: The main catalyst was getting a job so I finally had some income. I also was feeling heartache, and my typical response to that is to move. Normally I move a couple hundred miles away, but this time it was just 25 miles. Read how I did it…
I am going to try this goal beginning the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I am just going to go one week. It is not my goal to become a vegetarian full-time. Instead I want to cut back on meat. If I go a whole week without meat, then I will know I can go a few days a week without meat.
I am training to be a counselor, and we have to videotape ourselves doing counseling sessions. I watched the first tape fearing I’d be mortified by my weight. No, instead it was my posture!! It was awful!! I’ve really been working on sitting or standing up straight when I notice I’m slouching. It’s a lot of work.
On November 1, I am playing my violin at church with some middle school children. My friends and I are joking that it will be like the movie Elf. I will be like Will Ferrell towering over the kids. I am getting very nervous. This is the first time I’ve played violin in a group since I was about 8. Wish me luck!
