I took my car( 2002 Ford Windstar) out today, and although improved from yesterday, it still has problems. It seems to be associated with the fuel. I don’t know if bad gas would have it sputtering as I accelerate. It has a brand new fuel filter, and I don’t know where else to look. It idles perfectly, drives fairly well, unless climbing a hill, then it gets upset and chugs like it isn’t getting  gas. I don’t believe it is the tranny, it seems more gas related. Call it a feeling. I am going to take it for a diagnosis tomorrow. Auto Zone does it for free. See what kind of trouble I’m in.On a good note, I got my yoga teacher training stuff in the mail today. I am going to read later after dinner. Not sure what’ for dinner, maybe some flounder, sweet potato, and veggies. Mmmm, sounds good. Dinner is planned. Have a nice evening, catch up with you tomorrow. 

I am living my lifestyle change- It gets progressively easier each day. It is keeping my thoughts conscious, and not falling into a routine rut. The man that developed my Yoga training class, Aaron Hoopes, had an entry on his blog, which I found so applicable to us, here on the blog.  He is so wise- and I cant wait to meet him. ”I think that many people have a desire to be fit and healthy. The problem is that just having a desire is too vague. We tend to get caught up in living unconsciously and time passes. We then realize we haven’t living in a healthy manner. At this stage doing something for fitness becomes a chore. If we can keep ourselves in a mindful place and make mindful choices about how we treat our bodies we have a much better chance of getting to the place we really want to be. Always start with conscious breathing and take it from there. once the body gets more oxygen into it there is a much better impetus for movement. Make your fitness routine a habit…not an appointment. ”  I am so excited that my thoughts are so in line with his. It is truly amazing how our energies have been brought together. He doesn’t know me, or me him, but our ideals, join us. I am sooo excited to begin yet another journey with this class. WooooHooooooo!!!!!!!!!                               On a practical note- we changed the fuel filter and added some liquid to the gas, and the my vehicle seems to be idling much better.  I will take it out for gas in a little bit. Hop on the highway,  bring it up to speed and see how it goes. I am helpless without transportation. I had a brake light out too, so I fixed that all by myself. :–)  It is probably time to have a really pricey tune up, but not til I land me my job.Kids are with their father this week, the whole week, so I’m going to try and stay productive. I really suffer from separation anxiety when they are gone. I have to set some priorities and  keep on task. I will probably go to the library at some point. I am patiently waiting for the job “call”. I was led to believe it would be sometime this week. I am also suppose to receive my Yoga Teachers Training materials this week. I am so excited how things are gently falling into place. For dinner last night I had cooked up 2 crab/lobster cakes I bought at the market. I only ate one, as I had a sweet potato and mixed veggies. I still fill my plate like I use to, and I have to leave the table comfy not stuffed. I maybe could have eaten half the sweet potato. Again, I am learning, and experimenting.  I had a Jamaican beef patty the other day. Delicious, but 300+ calories for one. I could have one and a salad. That would be a decent lunch. I still struggle with thinking I need 2. One and a salad. That will be my mantra- one of anything and a salad. Yes! Salad is good.Have a great day everyone!
