Spring Cleaning- um, late winter cleaning
January seemed to go at a very slow pace this year. I spent gfar tioomuch money during Christmas, mostly on other people, and of course I had momentary regrets. But the look on people's faces was worth it. Of course, I ate far too much and drank plenty.
But with the advent of January I did a detox, vamped up my exercise program and did quite a bit of writing. But writing involves the use of imagination and memory, which can be tied up material objects, some good, emphasizing the best of your life, and some bad, highlighting times of sadness and regret. Both are good to have; but sometimes you need to let go of certain items and clean house, yo welcome in new possibilities.
That's what I am doing today.

Today was Carb Day
Good heavens, but today was carb day! Usually, I have a pretty balanced diet- a wholesome breakfast of egg or tofu plus oatmeal, coffee, lunch is a salad + protein or a soup, dinner is a repeat of lunch or a stirfry with quinoa.
But Jesus, today was carbs, carbs, carbs- pancakes for brekkie, a big serving of sweet potato soup and salad, tortilla chips, and mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and salmon for dinner, plus a mini muffin with tea after dinner, yet.
Jesus- I blame the rainy weather.
I worked out at the gym and did a sauna section, but that certain did not offset the nosh fest that was today!

MLK Day
All progress is precarious, and the solution to one problem brings us face to face with another problem.
