Days 3 & 4--Detoxing

What makes you sleepy all day and gives you insomnia at night?  Giving up caffeine and alcohol in the same week.  Between that and the headaches, I've lost all interest in food.  I expected to be excited about trying new recipes, and I know I will be later, but right now nothing sounds good to me, so why bother?  lol.  I have to be careful not to just grab a bowl of pasta when nothing sounds good, but my tummy is telling me I better eat!  This is doubly strange because I should be smack dab in the depths of PMS, which usually means cheeseburgers and tater tots, and although I could justify the tater tots (they're vegan, aren't they?), it's just too much trouble.  It's "cold" here too (I know that's a relative term when you're living in Orlando, but I have a turtleneck sweater on right now, so that counts as cold), so I don't want to do anything except huddle in bed.

Fortunately, I have a nice, warm front room with big, south-facing windows.  We don't have much furniture in there at all, so it's a great space to do some yoga in the sunshine (good inspiration for some sun salutations...Hello, Sun!  Thanks for warming me up!).  I was also able to rally enough to shower and dress, and even dance around in my towel to "Rock Around the Clock", from my arguably favorite Christmas present--the American Graffiti soundtrack given to me by my mother-in-law.  My dad had the 8-tracks as a kid, and I used to listen to them all the time, thus establishing my love of the Golden Oldies.  The disc had been on my Amazon wishlist, but I had forgotten about it.  I burst into stupid ugly tears when I opened it, because all these awesome memories of my dad came rushing back.  But I digress.  My point here was that I was alone in the house (Alone!!!  I haven't been alone in a long time.), and dancing around with abandon, so there must be some energy lurking in this body of mine.

So I was thinking, (not like I don't have enough resolutions going on here or anything), I think one long-term resolution for the year is to choreograph a hoop routine to a song.  I have a few songs in mind that I'm always mentally creating hoop dances too, but never anything real.  I'd like to see what I could come up with and if I could practice one dance enough to really master the flow of it.   Maybe it will be to "Rock Around the Clock."  Have a great day, everyone!  And if you can, find a reason to dance around with a little abandon.
