Who's Got The Light

Last night was a non-worky evening of Avatar with katlyn and daemonwise, and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. That show makes me giggle so, so much. (and yes, I am indeed on the ZuTara wagon, heh.) And then, I finished off Season 4 of Weeds, went to bed before midnight, and I slept HARD. It was beautiful.

The thought I'm currently dwelling upon is that I may be doing a "cleanse" of some sort pretty soon here, with a group from a health/yoga joint I've been going to more recently. And no, it's not the Master Cleanse or anything ridiculous like that. I know how I get when I don't eat--i.e. cranky and addle-brained--I'm too active for liquid diets, fasting crashes the metabolism, yadda yadda. No, thus far, it sounds quite a bit like the elimination diet that a lot of folks use to try and figure out if they're eating foods that cause their bodies to react badly.

These past few months of crazy-busy have really led me to eat whatever random crap I can grab in a hurry, and I have definitely lost some sight of the line between actual need and frivolous cravings. And, well, I am starting to see some not-so-happy-making changes in my body, too. I probably won't make a decision until the introductory meeting a week or two from now, but I figure that, if the eating plan is not insane, I'll have a good excuse and some group motivation to do things I've already been meaning to do, like kicking my recent sugar habit, and choosing more intelligently when I eat out.

The million dollar question, however: will I be able to cope without my morning coffee? Because, damnit, I like coffee, and I'm so married to the ritual of sipping coffee while I do my A.M. sift through work e-mail that I'll feel completely "off" without it. But eh, maybe I'll cope better than I think.

And finally, a candid from an August wedding:
