but illness hath no power over a determined ww! this morning i took a jog around pasadena and then i went to a little park to do a couple of exercises. I don't know if Diana was considered a ninja by any straights but i'd like to throw that under my wishlist of abilities by the end of this. so i tried doing the back to feet flips that you see in all the ninja movies. you know, like the ninja classic "teenage mutant ninja turtles." The muppet one. that one changed lives...
Still sticking to my meat weaning and like i said before, not too difficult. I have eaten the occasional "bread" thing, blah blah but i was never going to quit cold turkey. this is a gradual effort. all permanent change is usually slow and steady. you're welcome for that quotation ;)
i did find a great place in culver city after a meeting i attended. the cafe is called "Green Peas." and it caters to vegan and non-vegan peeps alike. and the best part? FREE WIFI. so i definitely see myself frequenting this place more often.
I was looking over my initial list and definitely know changes will be made. for one, i am a person who constantly needs her workout changed up to be interesting. so i think under the idea of "getting fit," will be the idea that in order to emulate the amazon princess i will need to be amazon-esque. No i will not grow a rainforest and get a tan, silly literal people. i intend to train like the amazon women of greek mythology! combat, agility, strength, cunning. swords! bows and arrows! horseback! i'm really pumped about the last three. so that's a change. i figure out how to be more articulate in the future about how to lay it out.
To remedy my greek mythology saturation situation i've decided to end each post hereafter with a "greek of the day." could be fact, fiction, person, god or demigod. figured it'll force me to be enlightened.
Lastly I want to stress the importance of self betterment. Not gonna lie, the meeting i attended today was about self improvement and it was very much needed. One thing i think stands out with all superheroes depicted in comics, WW included, is the fact that they are very confident with themselves and their beliefs they enact upon them for the betterment of others. they see themselves as a positive force and wish to share that positivity with humanity.
what's not to love about that? basically my list item of "spreading ideals" means i have to have ideals i really believe in and that means to really know what i believe. like socrates said "know thyself." and i don't. i haven't put myself first for a long time. i'm learning to now and i think that's the first step. so i need to build and find that confidence within me before i place it without.
like i said it wasn't going to be easy, but i'm very excited about the ends, knowing the means are going to be just as awesome!
as for pampering for the day: bought myself a few comic books. Hit up one of my fav places, "The Golden Apple" on Melrose. they rearranged their store so it is so easy to navigate now! plus they usually have an assortment of books that are hard to find elsewhere. and they are REALLY cool.
part of my "princess" mission also ties in with listening to my body and knowing when to put my needs first. i think one issue i have is blending assertiveness with selfishness. one is positive one is negative. that being said i have another meeting today and am definitely going to play it by ear. if i feel ill, i'm heading out. probably will anyways. no sense in potentially getting everyone else sick, and no sense getting myself in a worser situation.
so that's it for now. we shall see what tomorrow brings. but every little step matters!
oh... and i've decided in true WW fashion that my nail polish color of choice will be red for the remainder of the year. shades of red, of course! but red is the base hue. eep, commitment!
alright, enough talking. here is the start of "greek of the day" starting with:
Greek χάος means "gap, gaping void, chasm, abyss", from the verb χαίνω, "gape, be wide open, etc.", from PIE *ghen-, cognate to Old English geanian, "to gape", whence English yawn.
Hesiod and the Pre-Socratics use the Greek term in the context of cosmogony. Hesiod's chaos has often been interpreted as a moving, formless mass from which the cosmos and the gods originated, but Eric Voegelin sees it instead as creatio ex nihilo,[2] much as in the Book of Genesis. The term tohu wa-bohu of Genesis 1:2 has been shown to refer to a state of non-being prior to creation rather than to a state of matter.[3] The Septuagint makes no use of χάος in the context of creation, instead using the term for גיא, "chasm, cleft", in Micha 1:6 and Zacharia 14:4.
Nevertheless, the term chaos has been adopted in religious studies as referring to the primordial state before creation, strictly combining two separate notions of primordial waters or a primordial darkness from which a new order emerges and a primordial state as a merging of opposites, such as heaven and earth, which must be separated by a creator deity in an act of cosmogony.[4] In both cases, chaos refers to a notion of a primordial state contains the cosmos in potentia but needs to be formed by a demiurgebefore the world can begin its existence.
