Recently I read a book called "Eat by Choice, Not by Habit - Practical Skills for Creating a Healthy Relationship with Your Body and Food" by Sylvia E. Haskvitz, M.A., R.D..
Prior to reading it, I'd been talking to Vid about my dissatisfaction with my lack of progress in the area of fitness, and he thought that I might find this book helpful. I really didn't know what to expect, but I decided to read it with an open mind and a willingness to listen. I must admit, I loved this book. Before this book, the only other book on fitness and/or nutrition that I found of value to me was "Body-for-LIFE - 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength" by Bill Phillips. I thought BFL was a great book for offering a guide on how to get physically fit, however, EBC goes deeper then practice, it helps one address the reasons behind our relationships with food. Together I believe both books offer real long term value for me and I am eager to fuse the two into a practical way of life for me.
Other books I've been reading these days are: "The Four Agreements" and "The Four Agreements - Companion Book" both by Don Miguel Ruiz, "Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life" by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D. and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by J.K. Rowling. I also plan to add "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle to my list of books I'd like to read soon.
My life has been extremely busy since I began working from home full time, and I have neglected a lot of things, not the least of which is sunlight. In an effort to add more balance to my life I want to add more time to read and play, I haven't quite figured it all out yet, but I am working on it.
I'll keep you all posted on how things develop, in work, and in play. Thanks for stopping by.
