In breaking news unrelated to The Project: just saw The King's Speech... sooooo good. Hopefully Mr. Firth will be compensated with the Best Actor Oscar this year that he was so shamefully denied for last year's A Single Man.
Of course, a trip to the movies presented it's own type of challenge vis a vis The Project. Those of you who have seen me at The Cactus know that I eat popcorn as if it was one of the essential food groups. Just below coffee and just above chocolate on the pyramid if I'm not mistaken. Since the start of The Project I have made a conscience effort not to touch it. We all have this food in our lives : the one we mindlessly munch while watching TV, surfing the Web, or chatting to guests at the bar. Part of my plan has been to really pay attention to what goes in and thereby make choices, not succumb to (lazy, harmful) habits.
We got to the theatre and I was introduced to this new thing-a-ma-bob that some of you may know already... Yogen Fruz. Never heard of it, but after a small dish of blackberry which my friend tells me has 100 calories and no fat (?) I'm pretty much hooked. O.K. I sense I've built the tension enough YES... there was popcorn and it was GOOD.
On reflection I think it was so good cuz I made a choice. That's the weird thing about The Project: I'm learning that I'm in charge of the choices I make and the more present I am in my day, the better my day will be.
