Dear minions!
Lots of stuff has been changing for me lately!
First off, I've started shopping at the farmer's market rather than the grocery store and it's made such a big impact on my health! I eat almost exclusively organic and have severely cut back on my meat intake. On the organic front alone I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my energy level and sense of overall well-being. People keep telling me that it looks like I've lost weight and I definitely feel less bloated and lethargic. I've even found that my occasional bouts of depression have become more manageable and transient.
I've started cooking absolutely amazing dishes that I never would have thought of making, walking through the sterile aisles of No Frill's (I'll share a few in upcoming posts!). Even just the atmosphere of the market has made a big impact on me.
Grocery shopping used to be super stressful for me. I hated all the crowds and the go go go vibe everyone gave off. Purchasing boxes and cans of processed foods was so depressing and the often dodgy condition of the produce made me cringe!!
I feel good about the foods I buy from the market, all green and fresh, and the best part, local! It makes me feel good knowing the money I spend goes back into my community and not to some faceless corporation. I'm sure the drastic reduction in preservatives and chemicals that I ingest has had the biggest impact on my mood and energy ☺
I've even started chatting with a cute guy who works at the produce stand I frequent *blushes*
Second big change is that it looks like I'll be playing bass in a local punk band come the fall! More to come on that as it develops!
The third thing is that I've made the first steps toward becoming more involved in environmental activism. Earlier today Monster and I participated in a March Against Monsanto rally.
I was first turned on to the cause by an internet acquaintance sharing posts on Facebook so I figured what would be the harm of following them?
It opened my eyes to a few issues I hadn't been aware of and reaffirmed some of my suspicions. It's kind of scary when you see it all laid out and take the time to absorb it.
We had an awesome time at the rally, heard some amazing speakers and chatted with some cool people! A lot more people turned out then I expected and it was cool to see how many people care about the health of the planet and the people on it. It was really inspiring to see people of all ages come out to support such an important cause! There were tons of petitions to sign and I've also signed up to help out next year!
It felt really good to be out there with so many like minded people and I'm so excited for next year!I hope to get more involved in this and a few other causes in the coming months!
I guess that's pretty much everything for now, I'll definitely keep you guys posted as things develop in the near future. As always my darlings......
Keep kreepin'
