Watching movies and ordering food
I started with “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” both movies in one night.These movies, unlike many, are not pushing or threatening for not eating healthy. Plus no miracle stories where people were magically cured from life-threatening diseases and lived happily ever after. Just giving an idea where to start and what to eat. And Joe’s aussie accent was so fun to hear.
Then “FOOD Inc”, “Forks over Knifes” and now I’m on “Earthlings”. The last one is very hard to watch, I have to pause it and take a break, because it is just too much.
Since it is winter and all farmer markets are closed, I decided to try organic food deliveries for imperfect foods. The one available in my state is misfists market. With many bad reviews and a lot of a promise misfits market offers weekly deliveries with seasonal fruits and veggies. I wish I could describe all the pros and cons of it, but, unfortunately, I still haven’t received my first box (it was supposed to come 5 days ago). There is a chance that I’ll have two boxes delivered at the same day, one with last week dull and beaten produce, and one hopefully fresh.
It is getting harder to keep up with the new regime, and not only thanks to my unfortunate organic non-delivery, but because this week kids are with me. And when I have my kids around I completely forget about myself. I’m trying to learn to put myself and my needs above people around me, but it is always a struggle. My mind goes numb and all I think about is that they need me, but my needs are not essential and can wait. My beautiful schedule to juice in the morning and then make a smoothie from a pulp, eat cooked food only for lunch and finish my day with a cup of herbal tea and bowl of nuts — all of it fell apart on a first morning when kids were getting ready to school. I end up not eating at all, because I just don’t have time and variety (thank you misfits market) to make something for myself. Then with added stress at work I didn’t even feel hungry and stopped watching if I ate something today or not. There should be a way to solve it and rebrain myself. Work in progress.
