Honour Thy Body - Renaissance Project - Nourishment

Dear Friends,
This morning, at 7:25, Complacency woke us up from across the room.
"We lost 8 oz!"
Body and Mind smiled at each other, "It doesn't take much to excite her," they whispered.

Complacency took charge of the day, naturally!

9:00 - 20 laps in the pool


9:50 - 1 cup of dandelion tea and 1 hard-boiled egg, 4 Brazil nuts (high in mood boosting selenium)

11:00 - 1 whole, organic chicken, rubbed down with ginger and turmeric, sitting pretty in one  finger water, surrounded by sliced onions, garlic, zucchinis and carrots — in the oven.

12:30 -  Bon Appetit!

13:30 - Body was finally allowed to take a nap.

14:45 - right shoulder and arm did not wake up happy. I can't win with Body. She moves, she's in pain; she doesn't move, she's in pain! Although we are all against it, she still might persuade me to take the cortisone shots.

16:15 - Complacency was on the roll. She took us out for a walk. Although the flippant side of Mind hesitated in front of the ice cream and liquor stores, Complacency marched right past them, without a sigh. 

17:10 - right hand made the left hand carry home our cauliflower, parsley, tomatoes, avocados and coffee.

18:30 - following a recipe in a health magazine, we enjoyed a "nouvelle cuisine" tabbouleh (shredded cauliflower, finely chopped mint, parsley and onion, topped with cubed skinless tomatoes, drizzled with freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 tsp olive oil). 

20:00 - while Complacency wasn't watching, we gobbled down 3 squares of dark chocolate. 

Since Complacency can't wait to get on that scale again tomorrow morning, she is turning off the lights at 22:00 hours!
2 savoured, 64 left to delight in.........
