Taking It Lento
Feb. 23rd, 2007 07:17 amWith the proposal, Lent kind of snuck up on me this year. I'm going to use the opportunity to reup my resolutions, especially exercise. I'd been letting exercise slide for a while because I'd been so busy with the Hunt and the proposal, but I'm getting back on the bike.
As for what I'm giving up, I'm going to go back to doing something I'd tried last year with some success: avoiding high-fructose corn syrup. I don't say "giving up" because it's something so prevalent that it's hard to stay away from it all the time, but it's easy to skip the big things: processed candy, sodas, sweet drinks, etc. So I'm going to stock up on pure fruit juices soon, since they're good at sating my craving for sweetness without the processed sugar.
The other thing I need to consider is whether I'll be doing an Eggs Files this year. I skipped last year, and I don't particularly want to skip another one. On the other hand, I have no ideas and I work on Sundays now. On the other other hand, it'll be easier to take a Sunday off and have the time to clean and prepare on the Saturday before. On the other other other hand, I'm going to spend a week in New Jersey next month with
ojouchan which will detract from planning time. If anybody in or out of the area has suggestions, I'm welcome to them.
