WELL, I see from today’s scale that I managed to gain five lubs since January 23. Given that I’ve been homebound and consoling myself with regular enormous breakfasts at the wonderful cafe up the block (Bacon!), I’m not surprised.
Big snowboots bum me out so much, the only thing I can think to do to counteract their enormous hideousness on my lower extremities is to try to balance them with enormous necklaces up top. Pretty soon I’m going to be wearing hubcaps around my neck.
A mantra for the coming weeks: more flowers, less bacon. It’s so hard to remember that those pancakes don’t love me back.
Big boots, big jewelry, big smile. Gotta keep the smile as big as we can!
Happy Valentine’s Day, pigeons! Big hugs to my beautiful, lovely lovers of life and God!
And back atcha, PB! You’re the greatest! I don’t know how to attach a photo here, but look at my FB page for today’s flowers.
Mwah!
“More flowers, less bacon” – sounds like a good mantra for the week! I’m feeling crappy today and the urge to comfort-eat is rising…
In the winter (and, frankly, in just about any season), I find that roasting several trays of vegetables each week — parsnips, brussels sprouts, eggplant, leeks, broccolini, onions, peppers, cauliflower, kale, garlic, broccoli — both satisfies my craving for yummy comfort food and amps up my intake of nutrients and fiber, making me feel better on all fronts. I keep them in the fridge and warm them up for every meal, including breakfast with a little tofu or a few roasted almonds for protein. Decadent, delicious, and nutritious all at once. I highly recommend it as a winter coping strategy. Oh, and lovely flowers too, of course!! 🙂 Thanks for that wise and humane touch, PB. Delicious, caramelized veggies actually makes the chilly mornings cozy and cheerful with a cup of steaming green or ginger tea.
