Changes

 Looking over the header to my abandoned and now revisited blog, I see that many things I mentioned are no longer pertinent to me anymore. In just the short span of a few years, things have changed. As we all know, change is the only constant in life (Heraclitus). 

For example, nutritious eating - well I am still very interested in eating as healthily as possible but the question has become, what is healthy eating? I am not nearly as sure as I used to be. The problem is there are so many studies and so many that contradict each other. Also, everyone is different. People have different responses to the same diet. I've also decided worrying about it too much causes anxiety and is counter-productive. 

So I just try to stick with eating whole foods and avoiding processed foods. But not eliminating any particular group of foods. And not worrying too much when I mess up. I do try to check off a few things on a daily (or close to it) basis: fish of any sort, something purple/red like cherry juice or hibiscus tea, greens, even if it's just a few bites of parsley because I'm honestly not that keen on most greens, eggs, ginger. I try to avoid white flour and sugar, with varying degrees of success.

I'm not as happy with my weight as I was. While still in the normal BMI range, it is slowly creeping up to the upper limit. I will keep experimenting with that. At the moment I am trying Inositol and Berberine to see if that is any help. I am not willing to get too strict though, because food is one of life's great pleasures.
