One Week on One Hundred... Exhaustion Breeds Creativity

I´m not sure if it is the lack of sugar or perhaps the lack of any and all other nutrients not related to tortillas and beans that has left me in a funk of exhaustion and crankiness, but I am pretty sure that it is not something that another tortilla will fix... It has been amazing to experience how my moods and ability to think are related to what I put in my body. I feel like I have done fairly well in creating a balanced diet with dairy (milk), protien (beans), carbohydrates (tortillas), and vegetables (tomatoes), but I still notice myself forgetting things more than normal and I have been quicker to get frustrated or upset (No self medicating with chocolate this week :) ). To counter/prevent these feelings, I am making sure to exersize daily, including lots of yoga.The silver lining in this story is that extreme times have literally forced creativity, and apparently, my brain still has a little juice left! A simple but amazing mixture of diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and salt (aka: poor woman´s salsa) has some how made beans and tortillas tolerable, if not enjoyable! I may be a little cranky, but at least the food tastes good... DAMN IT!
