Oh Gandhi Im Hungry

I am up early this Friday morning unable to fall asleep and feeling hungry already. Jason didn't come home tonight.

Inspired by reading Gandhi's autobiography, I have been eating lighter foods for the past couple of days, thus the hunger. I have been surprised about how much he talks about food, eating, and fasting. At a very young age he deals being a vegetarian and the issues he encounters during his time.
Though the thought of becoming a vegetarian is not yet likely especially since Jason and I have been on a quest on finding the best burger in LA. so far, it's been between The Lucky Devil and Umami

I think I will go for a run before I start my day. Running has always helped clear my mind and lighten my spirit. I will go to work soon after.

The piece here is titled Green Hunger. It is inpsired by a photograph of one of the Olsen twins. She looked so sad and skinny in her dress. I can't imagine putting myself through such pains in order to maintain a certain body image. As I mentioned yesterday, I have gained a few pounds in the past couple of months and so I am on a quest to find some balance. Nothing a little excercise and conscience eating cant change.

Before I go, I will make my spinach and cucumber shake. Though the green drink of choice has changed over time, I got into the habit of having green drinks some 10 years ago when I lived with Mama and Papa. Every morning Mama made me a green drink to start my day. It's all about creating good habits and having them become a part of daily life.

"TGIF! Habit Friday!"
