feeding the outside to nourish the inside

I'm on a  h e a l t h  k i c k !

those of you who know me, know very well that I have not always been good to my body. I have starved and tortured myself as a result of depression, and I was very obsessed with the numbers. essentially, I had too much self-discipline... so upon healing, I gave up a lot of my self-control, and have been unable to find a happy medium since. this time, however, it's not about numbers, or even how I look, its about how I feel. and that to me is what's most important. 

migraines, lack of nutrition, little sleep, little hydration, and little exercise is my routine, and I'm tired of it- so today, steven & I ventured to a local fruit market.

we picked up so much fruit, local honey, and organic taffy. steven also got wild blackberry jelly & I picked out pumpkin butter.

I'm going to replace chips and cheez-its with strawberries and pineapples. and I'm going to replace toaster strudels with apples and bananas. I'm also going to start going to our (free-24 hour) gym about 3 times a week. steven & I have also agreed to ride our bikes and hike much more now that the weather is warming up.

so here's to treating myself how I deserve to be treated & feeling better each day.


 with confidence, N

  1. Oh N´tima. This is a great idea.
    You had depression? How did you overcome it? I have depression, too and I have been taking an antidepressant for about 8 months now.

    You seem to have so much vitality now. How did you reach that? Your charisma is so beautiful. I want to be like that someday but I do not know yet how to reach it. I also punish my body a lot.

    Hope you´ll answer me.
    Probably at my tumblr:

    I would appreciate it.

    Love,
    Steffi

  5. DIXON? You don't live near me do you? I'm a friend and friend of P + B but I live in Sacramento. I got sucked into the naturalness of your bloggy, but I assumed you were in Utah. DIXON? LIke, by Davis and Vacaville? Seriously, can I get Hucklberry products out here? I might die. I'll go there TOMORROW if that's true!!! I have a SERIOUS huckleberry problem and drive all over looking for the stuff; even contemplated buying the berries for $40/pound online!!! Huckleberry taffy just as close as DIXON? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! You just made my month!!!!!!!!!!! And my month has SUCKED! THANK YOU!
