To Bacon or Not to Bacon

Elisea Frishberg

That is the question.

I startled my brain the other night with a thought, “Boy, it would be nice to have a beer or a glass of wine, I’m in the mood for a beer or a glass of wine—that sounds really good!  Maybe even a hamburger, a nice juicy hamburger with bacon and cheese—yes that sounds fantastic!  Why not, just a little bit will not hurt me, life is short, I want to enjoy myself!” 

What did I learn from this?  

My brain is a powerful thing, because what it wants, it gets!  So I decided to use my powers for good.

Don’t tell your brain what you are afraid will happen, tell it what you want to happen.  Your conscience will accept everything that you say to it, why not tell it how beautiful, smart, and in control you are. 

The thing is, I have been getting up at 4am every morning, to run--to get in great shape because my doctor told me point blank that if I did not shape up, I would be dead a lot sooner than later and I would not be able to see the fruits of my labor and will never see my grand children. 

I decided that it was time to make some changes.  I have been running and working out on a daily basis.  Trust me, I was always the type of person who would sit for days waiting for the nearest parking spot to save myself from walking a few more steps to buy groceries or to see a movie. Exercise was not in my vocabulary, until now. I had to force myself.  For months, I was training, waking up at 5 in the morning to run and walk, eating better, making better choices.  I completed my first marathon last month.  And it felt GREAAAAT! J

I decided that it was all a matter of choice.  I want to be the guardian of my health.  I have given up rice—RICE!  I practically was born with a spoonful of rice in my mouth, I have learned to eat smarter and I have definitely learned that when asking myself, “To Bacon, or not to Bacon,” knowing that there’s a second choice makes all the difference!

Being fabulous is all in your head, keep feeding your brain!
