The First Day of Food, and Balance

I've written about exercise. I've written about yoga. I'm studying food, so I'll write about food.

It's a cold, cloudy day in mid-February. I could be exercising. I could be eating a salad. I could be practicing some yoga asanas. Instead I settled for some comfort food and a marathon watching of the Winter Olympics. With 60% dark chocolate squares filled with caramel.

I'll start again tomorrow. Really, I will.

It's about balance. Keeping balance. Two days ago I had a hard workout. Yesterday I stayed busy but did not workout. Today I rested. Today I had a huge breakfast (Valentine's breakfast! Eggs, waffles, sausage!) and ate chocolates. I'll readjust myself now and find that balance that I know I can find: healthy diet, exercise, peace of mind. Perfect balance.

I'm also now part of a cool program (www.FOODPICKER.org) that helps diabetics with food choices, helps them stay in balance. Check it out. Even if you're not diabetic, it's a great site with a ton of nutrition information.

Keep your balance!
