I'm having a paradoxical new relationship with Sticky One these days. I've lost 15 pounds since New Year's, which has taken quite a bit of discipline. Never been on a dietary regimen before.

For time reasons I'm relying a lot on pre-packaged foods supplemented with salads and fresh vegetables (livin' la vida Lean Cuisine... y Trader Joe's). That's a utilitarian rather than sensuous approach to eating which sometimes feels like deprivation. I counteract that with a nice meal when I can. eye_of_zohar made me a wonderful celebratory meal a couple of weeks ago that was quite healthy and just delicious! When I get something like that, I love every bite.

Wearing form-fitting clothes in bright colors (spring is here!). Moving with balance and grace through the world.
