clean

When I'm dithering about trying to eat one way and another, I never remember how good it feels to just give up and eat clean. All is calm inside, peaceful, no hunger, no obsession, no craving.

It's a lazy rainy day in Tulsa. I'm going to open the windows, prop up in bed with a puppy, have coffee and watch spring sweep in. Feels like heaven. What are your plans for today?

I am working today, but not shooting. I must assist Art Smith sign autographed copies of his new cookbook. 400 copies. He's a nice guy, and he called me to work on the Oprah Winfry show twice, so I owe him my patience. I have a handful of food photos in his new book, and my name is credited in the opening, so I am happy about the free publicity too. I plan on asking him personalize one to my mother.

I am reading a new book, none that we discussed, called "the Complete Book of Chinese Health & Healing", by Daniel Reid. He has written extensively on Taoism, detoxing your body through taoist nutritional principles, and general health. He has helped me to lose 20 lbs., and feel more healthy and vibrant than at any other time in my memory. If you are at all interested in wholistic medicine, I highly reccomend his body of work.

It's been a tough week to distinguish between boredom and hunger. Yes, this involved eating cookies. And just about anything else. I am hoping next week to be able to get back in the gym and back on the healthy diet wagon. Right now, I am bored/stir crazy. I could consider chocolate syrup a beverage at the moment. I will have a couple of extra pounds to work with in the strength training routine, too bad it will be fat. I gotta go scour the house for food now.

It's a beautiful, sunny day in Chicago; I'm at work, I feel at peace, trolling around the blogsphere, preparing myself mentaly for a New Abstinence (I also gave up on myself about 18 months ago and am ready to try again). There's so much to be thankful for today, most especially, people like you, Lynette.

To continue your canine motif: I'll be working like a dog. And freezing my ass off. Happy Friday!

Hey Hot Stuff:

Just quit my job so I am on cruise control. Interesting statement about eating clean. Don't you think we make things SO much more complex than need be? Without so much thought in everything I would be just going to the gym, just eating as much as I need and not over doing it. We tend to think ourselves to death. Urgh!

Today I returned from a week away from home. I picked up my pooch from doggie day care and took him straight away to an off leash dog park, where he ran and ran and ran. We then spent a lazy day at home, not cleaning, not thinking, not doing a thing but visiting friends on the internet, calling family, and letting our minds drift to pleasant inconsequential things.

So nice.
