“The Lord is risen!”
Today is Easter Sunday… a day to spend with family,
celebrating the miracle of the season. Coming from a Polish family, that means
lots of food that is not normally in my diet. A Polish Easter for us means,
Pierogi, Kapusta, Borscht, Kielbasa, and many different forms of potato. I am
not worried too much though. I celebrate many forms of healthy living and I
consider following family traditions one of them. Celebrating my roots gives me
a grounded feeling. As we make this food in the traditional manner, I feel a
connection to my Mother, Grandfather, and Great Grandmother (born and raised in
Poland) and all of her great relatives. I am also not worried because I have
spent the last week really revving up my metabolism, eating well and working
out, and I know I will partake of this feast in moderation. I also know that
tomorrow, it’s back to business for me, eating clean.
I hope each of you has a wonderful holiday and will also not
worry too much about what you eat today (it’s a big holiday, after all, worthy
of celebration). Tomorrow, let’s get back at it together!
I’m not
perfect…I’m just trying to figure out this whole health thing, just like you.
Thanks for letting me share my experiences with you J
