Fighting the winter brain slowdown
Currently listening to the Food as Medicine congress testimony. While I like Cory Booker ok, he seems to be a little too much with the "OMG!ALLPROCESSEDFOODBAD!" stuff and fat shaming. Interesting that one thing that isn't at all being referenced in this is the access to universal or at least reasonably priced HEALTHCARE.
Anyhoo, I'm getting stuff done but my willpower is battling me - as well as my back. Lately it's been my lower back which I suspect something is out of place. Eh. I have holiday/Xmas cards to send out but I really don't think that I have the energy to fill them out and mail them this year. I will have to get a few promised things sent but I'm going to try not to beat myself up for not getting cards sent. I really do love and appreciate the ones that I'm receiving, though.
Speaking of the healthy food stuff, I got the first email from the VegNews folks mentioning Veganuary and it gave me a bit of a punt in the brain that I need very much to do that. I've been slacking more and more. First it was eggs and occasional fish for the omegas (which I do need) and then I let milk products sneak in little by little if they weren't all that much, then I would get cheese now and then and would get turkey lunchmeat with my egg when I was feeling low energy. I'm also nibbling too much and at odd times and need to curb that since the weight gain certainly isn't helping my back or knees.
So....anyone else that's not already vegan going to do Veganuary or another healthy kickstart at the beginning of the year? Speaking of which, anyone ever try the Purple Carrot food delivery? I'm tempted to supplement with some premade meals from there just because with low-energy time, it's difficult to find time or the willpower to food prep as much as I'll want to.
