Day 190 -231.8 - Digging Down Deep

I am so tired. At this moment, I wish I were an oak tree, wrapped in a blanket of stillness and silence, waiting to be awakened by spring. Oh, how I want to hibernate until April.



My January Prayer

Please, may I not lose my way in these dark, long weeks of winter.

May I do, just for today, what needs doing.

Help me remember that even as the tree appears to sleep, at its roots it grows, and lives, and builds life anew.

My roots go way down deep. May they hold me up, and nourish me, and give me strength until spring's joyful return.




Breakfast - a sugar-free caramel misto (that's like a latte, except with brewed coffee instead of espresso - more coffee means less cream which means fewer carbs)
Lunch - school lunch, Atkins-style: chicken taco meat on lettuce with cucumbers, three cherry tomatoes, and Ranch
Dinner - carne flameado with grilled veggies from Gloria's

Exercise - some Bollywood strength training - arms and abs to "Main Hoon Na"
