Yesterday I made another French Boule just to be sure that
the first one wasn’t a fluke. I’m proud to say it was not. I also made Cinnamon
Raisin Bread. We had breakfast for dinner.
In my last journal entry I was talking about self induced pain
and suffering, and since then I’ve gone back for more. Making bread by hand is,
in itself, a fairly descent core workout, but apparently I’m a glutton for
punishment. True, I’ve been complaining and whimpering this past week but it is
remarkable how much cardiovascular and weight training do to help me cope with
daily life.
I am not, I can assure you, going to turn into some roughage
eating gym monkey any time soon, but it’s clear from everything I’ve done in my
forty-five years on this planet, my body and mind are happiest when I move. Whether or not I can use a long genetic lineage of peasants, servants, and fisherment as a reason, the release
of Cortisol is essential to my well being.
I had a vegetarian burrito at a chain restaurant for dinner tonight.
I had been planning a vegetable stir fry but life, and my in-laws, had other
plans. Spring break is only two days old, I’m behind on the baking projects I wanted to complete, and I’m
planning to take tomorrow off from the kitchen to work on laundry etc.
Spring forward tonight: I’ve never been a fan of Daylight
Savings Time.
