A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
~Henry David Thoreau (Brainy Quotes)
No water mark or photo editing for this pic because I haven’t set my NEW LAPTOP up for it yet. I broke the screen on my other laptop months ago, so I was using it with a monitor. *le sigh* I finally broke down & replaced it.
I went to the library today to finally get the last book in the Percy Jackson series (love the books, love the 2nd movie, disappointed by the 1st movie – in case you were wondering). I also wanted to get a book on strength training while I was there. I’ve been hearing a lot about The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess but no such luck. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Weight Training (printed in 2000) was the best I could do. Should be alright for the basics though.
An Unquiet Mind: Memoir of Moods & Madness was on a nearby shelf, as was Body Clutter: Love Your Body, Love Yourself. I have quoted Kay Redfield Jamison here before, but never read the book – until now! I had never heard of Body Clutter, but I am familiar with Flylady. I grabbed the book based on the tag line & this from the back cover,
“…it’s not about finding the perfect diet, it’s about the way you feel about food & your body & understanding sound nutrition.”
I can get behind that. I have been eating like the old me this month & I feel like crap because of it, so it appealed to me on that level. Plus, I’m interested to see how it lines up with HAES principles. It sounds like it could go either way. I will let you know how it goes.
Have any of your read any of these books? Have others you would recommend? I would love to hear some opinions.

I haven’t read any of those, but I’d be interested in your thoughts on the body clutter one. That sounds like a good one. Makes sense to my brain.

I thought so.
