Here we go.....

Time to detox. After the abuse I have been putting my body through, a detox is rightly deserved. I am challenging myself to fast until the 1st of May.  I am not sure if that will be possible, but we shall see. Fifty days… it’s the goal. Why?  You ask.  I am wanting to break my bad habits, turn over a new leaf.   I am also wanting to relinquish this nasty wine dependency I have acquired. Once that cycle has been broken, I feel that the binge eating will come to an end as well.  I am mentally in a better place, the best I have been in for a long time and things in life are rolling out fairly well. No better time than now to do this, and do it right.

Currently on Spring Break from the Uni and just returned from Lisbon seeing friends.  As usual I had a fabulous time and catered to my inner glutton anticipating the fast.  Everything is better in Lisbon culinary wise, the coffee, the bread, the produce… I felt it was an obligation to indulge.  The wine I feel is superior in Spain, as well as the nightlife, but the fruits, the vegetables, the spices and of course my wonderful friends can only be found in Portugal.  Next year they will have moved back to the Netherlands so I will be headed north for visits. Fine by me, it has been ages since I was in the Netherlands.  My last memories were traveling with Joe Hegarty and that was a total nightmare. I must recreate more pleasant memories…
