No More Pasta!

Today I had a lemon butter cream sauce with capers and smoked salmon fettuccine... yum yum yum... I knew it was an indulgence but hmmmm pasta... I try not to eat pasta too much - but today I just wanted some... but oh boy did it not agree with me later... when am I going to learn? I just can't eat the yummy, creamy, food that appeals to me... Oh well... it's not that I am just giving in, but it is just an attitude adjustment on many levels... 

1. My metabolism just can't do it any more... Sure I could train it... but there are some things that just change over time.
2. The foods that you love sometimes can be more harm than good. According to Ayuveda Medicine I am a Kapha - I like the warm, comfort food, full of flavor, warmth and of course a lot of butter. To be more balanced I need to eat less fried, more fresh  foods - like cucumber, lettuce. And to be honest it feels good after I do eat food like that - more light, more energized - but sometimes... hmm the call of the rich indulgent food...
3. On that note... I have to change what I think is yummy and indulgent. It is not that I don't like salads. My favorite salad is roasting mushrooms and other vegetables and putting over a nice crisp bed of greens... nice light olive oil dressing and some balsamic vinegar... hmmm - that might need to be dinner tomorrow...

So in the end it really just needs some time... and a little more effort on my part - part of the reason I had pasta today was because I was out and I ordered it... I rarely eat it at home because I just don't make it... but the salad yummmmmmm

No exercise today but needless today this day was all about food... nice cool weather came through tonight but I hope it was enough to clear out the air... would love to go for a run in the morning...

On another note - living room purged - that is a good feeling...it doesn't look like it is purged but it is... it is all that stuff that hides and you don't know that it is there - got rid of it! yay! now it is time to attack the toys... 13 more days to go...
