Thinking about diet

I'm thinking, yet again, that it's time to eat "better".

Right now, that means cutting out soda pop and back on sugar. Again. Really, though, tis only a step.

I've often wondered if you could get every nutrient on the USDA list through dietary choices. That would be the PERFECT diet, at one level, at least. And what does that look like?

Could that be done with flavor and culinary appeal? That'd be important, too. So many diets fail because they're exercises in misery.

Important side note: this isn't about weight loss. Rather more energy, physical health, better concentration, and mitigating some health issues due to aging.

Welcome to the middle of the week!

Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

Pitfalls of distraction

With great ease, I get sucked into random distractions. This frustrates me no end. Actually, the worst past of the feeling isn't due to the lingering tasks. I end up feeling distracted, fragmented and worn; I hate that sensation. I love the feeling of moving forward, accomplishing goals with a direction and focus. Of course, I adore helping people, especially those I care about. The right balance, oh how I long for thee!
