new years resolutions

did yoga this morning. tried monkey pose (Hanumanasana), getting there, sort of half way.

this year i have made two new year's resolutions. 1. become a vegetarian. 2. stop shopping and splurging. for some reason i though becoming a vegetarian would be difficult whileas control shopping easy. it's precisely the other way round. i find vegetarianism fun challenging, and i've been feeling good, full of energy since i stopped eating meat. shopping is easy just loads of fresh healthy stuff. i'm really into soy and seitan products now, experimenting.

it's harder to resist shopping. esp when the sales are on.  i realize the prob is big, huge. some kind of addiction disorder. question is why me. and how to deal with it. sheer will power? do i have that? so far not so good, anyway. a despicable, disastrous failure, is what i've been. and the mind... the mind is kinda hard to stop. tomorrow i'm not gonna check out those ultra cool black leather pants 75% off i've been obsessed with for the last week. 

 

I could look like this above. Hmmm. almost anyway.
