Clearly I know what is good for me and what isn't, but I go through long periods of just not giving a shit. Then, when cellulite's bumpy head pops up in places no one should be, I panic.
So, here I am, on a health kick again -- also hoping to god I fit in my, or any, gown when I give up my title as Miss Hooksett in November.
My latest is going gluten-free. I've convinced myself after months of binge drinking beer and stuffing my face with pizza and pasta, I feel terrible because I have a gluten sensitivity.
After one week, I do have to admit this is the first time I've been on a "diet" and not felt deprived. I can still have my share of carbs with potatoes, corn and rice, just no oats or wheat. I feel less bloated, and have more energy through out the day -- but my stuffy nose I was hoping would go away hasn't and I didn't magically become an up and at 'em morning person... damn.
Here's a little glimpse at my most recent eating habits because yea, I'm one of those #foodporn instagram addicts.

Hi Jamie--I was reluctant to read your article on the breast cancer series because my mother also had it. But I forced myself to and I'm glad I did--it was a great article and I know just how you feel about avoiding events.
ReplyDeleteI would like to contact you about my book The Diary of An American Expatriate (AUK, London, 2012) because in 2008, right before the election, I was living in Dover, NH, and would be leaving only a couple weeks later to become an expat in Malta. In fact, I met the (then) Senator Obama and got to speak to him in a very memorable way when he came to Dover.
I'd like to tell you more, but I don't have a way to directly contact you. In order to contact you on Linked-In--I had to upgrade. Would you please contact me via my website www.An-American-in-Malta?
Best Wishes,
Ilene Springer
