Second, my diet has morphed over a million times and I have settled on healthy food - not strictly demanding any regime in excess. While 90% of the foods I'm eating these days is quite low in sugar and gluten free, I'll post whatever I find to be creative and tasty. It'll be a bit sporadic, but I always love sharing darn good food and ideas.
Speaking of damn good food, since my last post some 18 months ago I've been to Africa (Cairo, Accra, Kigali, Kampala, Nairobi...), back to Turkey, around Europe, and most recently China (Beijing, Shanghai). I am so grateful to have had too many colourful and novel experiences to list - but oh, the food. I will comment on those, and continue to use their influences as I scrap together grub for myself.
By moving country, changing places and faces, and changing my mindset entirely the biggest change is my mindset; I used to try to control everything and aim for perfection (in other words, I was a masochist :p) and now I realize we have to be good to ourselves and CONSCIOUSLY reach for enjoyment. You have to attend to it, to make room for it in your life. Pleasure is easy and fleeting; enjoyment requires effort and cuts deeper. If that sounds obvious to you, I applaud your wisdom and implore you to help me out...:)
One way I enjoyed my morning was by taking a great spin class, and then coming home to a great breakfast. I wanted to have a bowl of my delicious custom granola from me & goji, but with an indulgent weekend upgrade - it was Sunday morning! Enter the granola muffin. It was experimental, it could have flopped, but it didn't - and if you make it, you won't think so either.
