Day 3: Play!

Last December I celebrated my 29th birthday, and since then I've thought often about how I want to invest this last year of my 20's. One of the things I've determined to do is to play more often. I think leisure - that is, things that are done for enjoyment, but are not passive - is an important part of the good life. So I've been intentionally including more play in my life, and I find that I'm much happier! From snowshoeing to swinging to reading, I'm being intentional about participating in my own life in a way that is fun!

My third day of this 60-day challenge is off to a great start. This morning I made a Paleo eggs benedict. I'm going to be honest and say that it looks beautiful, but I'm a big texture person, and it was a bit cold and slimy for my taste. :) The bacon saved it. If I were to make it again, I would sear the tomatoes to warm up the dish. Still, it was fun to experiment with a new recipe! I enjoyed this dish with two cups of french pressed Hazelnut coffee.

Also, call me crazy, but I feel tighter than I did three days ago! So far I haven't had to fight any major cravings. I feel so good and so satisfied (I'm attributing that satisfaction to the high fat content of my foods) that I'm not even tempted by nasty processed foods!

The weather was great today, so I went for a walk, and ended up on the swing, relaxing in the breeze and feeling satisfied and happy with life. :)
